	Ozric Tentacles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ozric Tentacles (commonly known as the Ozrics) are an instrumental band from Somerset, England, whose music can loosely be described as psychedelic.
		Ozric Tentacles have long taken an audio-visual approach to live performance, with an integrated lighting and projections crew.
		Their music is a highly psychedelic mixture of thumping basslines, sound effects and danceable keyboard and guitar work, with a sound influenced by Steve Hillage and Gong.

		A campfire at the Stonehenge free festival in 1984 witnessed the birth of Ozric Tentacles.
		The Ozrics swiftly claimed their place as a staple of the UK's burgeoning festival scene, and are now credited as one of the influential musical linchpins of the scene's re-emergence.
		Ozrics Tentacles are now poised to take America by storm, a country that hasn’t yet been fully exploited by the band, but is ripe for their psychedelic jamband status.

		It was a campfire at that festival's 1982 incarnation that witnessed the birth of Ozric Tentacles.
		Ozric Tentacles have made only two brief appearances in the U.S. since their last full tour, in 1994; June 5th 1998, at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium, and a next-day live webcast from the famous Syklopps Studios (the first band to ever webcast from those exalted rooms).
		Ozric Tentacles are masters of structure and dynamics, echoing back to the forefathers of prog like Floyd, Yes and ELP with a complicated orchestration that builds each song into a vaulted cathedral of psychedelic electronica.

	OZRIC TENTACLES discography, MP3 and reviews
		OZRIC TENTACLES' music is a fusion of sounds, styles and genres that cannot be categorized nor plagiarized, such is its complexity.
		The essence of the OZRIC TENTACLES remains essentially a free-willed musical unit oblivious to fashion trends and intent on exploring instrumental experimental music with an obsessive zeal.
		Formed in the early eighties, the Ozrics began life as a free-form psychedelic vehicle for jamming, attracting a dedicated fan-base at grassroots level by playing at all the free festivals to fans of space-rock, dub, psychedelia, and later on when the festivals had developed into raves, to fans of house and techno.

	Ozric Tentacles - Martyrs': 2004
		While not necessarily at the forefront of the popular "jam-scene" mind-set, Ozric Tentacles have been producing music for the last two decades.
		Although I would not try & fool you into believing that this is all the Tentacles are about, their influence is evident in the music of the Disco Biscuits, Sound Tribe Sector 9 & the like.
		This progression illustrated that Ozric Tentacles are not only capable of covering an impressive amount of ground, but pull it off with convincing skill & conviction.

		Thus Ozric Tentacles two main men (guitarist/keyboardist Wynne and keyboardist Hinton) respond to the Chicago Sun-Times' reductionist statement that their band is the missing link between the Dead and Moby.
		A perfect example: tonight's show was billed as "Ozric Tentacles and Guests," and one of the guest bands, Junkwaffel, driving in from Somerset, took a wrong turn on the motorway and found themselves in Manchester.
		Ozric is an unusual kind of band: clearly linked to specific musical eras, yet timeless in its approach and hard to categorize.

	DPRP CD Reviews - 1999 - Ozric Tentacles Special
		Ozric Tentacles was formed at the Stonehenge festival in 1982 when the initial band members met around an open fire.
		Ozric Tentacles have formulated an updated strand of progressive rock for the rave generation, combining all the quirky melodrama and advanced musicianship of the 1970s fusion with the spacey, dance-floor Nirvana of the 90s.
		As a result, reviewing more than one Ozric Tentacles CD at the same day would probably not do the music justice, because in the end you might get slightly bored with the same music all the time.

	VH1.com : Ozric Tentacles : Biography
		Ozric Tentacles' first major release, the 1990 album Erpland, foreshadowed the crusty movement, a British parallel to America's hippy movement of the '60s.
		The movement fit in perfectly with bands like Ozric Tentacles and the Levellers, and the Ozrics' 1991 album Strangeitude became their biggest seller yet, occasioning a U.S. contract with Capitol.
		Ozric Tentacles surfaced in 2000 to release Hidden Step, followed by the EP Pyramidion.

	Wooden Baby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wooden Baby is a little-known 1980's band which featured, among other members, Merv Pepler and Joie Hinton of Ozric Tentacles and Eat Static fame.
		However in 1987 it changed direction somewhat as Pepler joined Ozric Tentacles and met Joie Hinton, who like Pepler was fascinated by the emerging acid house and techno genres.
		Unfortunately, the lack of a proper record deal meant they could only ever reach a limited audience, centered around the free festival and Club Dog scenes of which Ozric Tentacles were a part.

		I am a bit amazed that after all these years, Ozric Tentacles is still crafting its very own unique sounding rock'n'jam music.
		The sound is heavy and highly danceable, bringing a new audience to the Ozric fold.
		To think that one of the bands who've been known as a cornerstone in the psychedelic/jam rock community have created music that could actually be played in dance clubs.

		Inspired by bands such as Gong and Kraan, Ozric Tentacles has been making its unique brand of psychedelic space rock since 1982, with twelve major studio albums, two live albums, and a live DVD to its credit.
		It’s like Crispy Critters, except they’re tentacles, and though they’ve been accused of being crispy, “ozric” is said to be an old Viking word for “divine energy.” Actually, the band is not shy about the psychedelic inspiration of their music.

		To attempt to review the Ozrics is like trying explain an aural rainbow to a deaf man. I approach cautiously for I hold this group on a pinnacle of splendored respect.
		Well after many years of buying and collecting Ozric goodies, I had completely given up on their former label ever sending any promos as they never replied to many requests.
		The Ozrics will mystify and confuse many normal-neuroned listeners but for those of us ready to trip out and get off in the songs of absolute coolness with some beatz you can actually dance to — I heartily recommend, totally adore this band’s groove and daring flights into 100% strange beautiful.

		Ozric Tentacles is, therefore, a band after my progressive, anti-lyric heart.
		If you've heard another album already, this one won't be a huge surprise; the Ozrics aren't going to suddenly change their style to a mixture of Neil Diamond and Cajun salsa music anytime soon.

		Yet again a band that has a virtual library of styles, Ozric Tentacles on the course of an album will move from intense high speed fusion, to incredibly atmospheric electronic music to a track that could only be described as a prog bands answer to reggae.
		Ozric Tentacles is generally regarded as one of the best things to happen to progressive/psychedelic rock in recent years.
		As many have said before, Ozric Tentacles has just about everything you could want: a highly accomplished drummer with a huge sound, an aggressive bass player featured prominently in the mix, a guitarist worthy of praise, plenty of top-notch synthesizer work, and a flute player and two percussionists to boot.

		Life is easy if you are a member of Ozric Tentacles.
		The name "Ozric Tentacles" is actually an imaginary breakfast cereal (Desmond Whisps, Gilbert Chunks, and Malcolm Segments all went by the wayside).
		Musically, there really isn't much substance to the Ozrics - mostly just spacy instrumental jamming, which would probably annoy the heck out of you if you need the music you listen to go somewhere.

		One of the things that instantly stands out with Ozric Tentacles' music is their devotion to ascendant melodies, building towards intense crescendos that refresh the spirit.
		The elements are the same on this 49 minute release: the guitars still blaze like suns going nova, the drums still throb, the synths still twinkle, the bass still tickles your gut.
		Where prior Ozric music possessed a constant power level, the music on this 55-minute CD displays a balanced restraint, giving smooth atmospheric passages a chance to lull you before the melodies burst into pep-mode.

		Neo-proggers Ozric Tentacles specialize in extended instrumental fantasies, pieces that combine the aesthetics of prog and space rock with an ample dose of jam band psychedelia.
		If you arrived late to the tie dye party, you will no doubt enjoy this "best of" survey, which is augmented by a limited edition EP length bonus disc.
		Case in point: the extended track "Jurrasic Shift", on which a wall of intricate keyboard textures, hanging aloft in the musical atmosphere, is offset by propulsive drumming from Merv Pepler and Zia Geelani's funky bassline.

		My history with ozric tentacles is a sort of strange one.
		Somebody had once remarked that the Ozric Tentacles had released a number of recordings based on a repeated theme.
		I would call Ozric ambient neo progressive with a tad of fusion mixed in and as I say, any body who likes the more keyboard aspects of Hawkwind must give this a go.
