At this past summer's Hellfest , I struck up a conversation with two Australians while waiting for Hawkwind to go on. Now, of course, these guys knew nothing of Hawkwind and were only there to secure good spots for Kyuss Lives!, who were playing immediately afterwards, so I took it upon myself to educate them somewhat on what Hawkwind were all about. As we spoke, a mysterious Norwegian emerged from the crowd, looking vaguely like a wizard with his long, whitish blonde hair and his hoodie pulled up over his head. "If you like space rock," he said in [...]
Ish's (Ismael Angel Ledesma) "Don't Stop" on T.K. Disco is a super sensual little number. Apply the oil and massage gently. MP3: Ish - Don't Stop I've been listening to Ozric Tentacles' album "Arborescence" on repeat this week. Hailing from England, they are an instrumental neo-prog/psyche band, releasing their debut album "Pungent Effulgent" in 1989. If you want to hunt more of their stuff, make sure you get a hold of their essential album "Jurassic Shift". MP3: Ozric Tentacles - Yog-Bar-Og [...]
The Ozric Tentacles (commonly known as the Ozrics) are an instrumental band from Somerset, England, whose music can loosely be described as psychedelic. Formed in 1984, the band have released well over 20 albums as of 2005, and become a cottage industry selling around a million albums worldwide despite never having major label backing. The original line up met on June 21st, 1984, at the
Paper Monkeys , though nothing new for these prog standbys, is proof that they're still doing what they do best, even after 16 studio releases. Prog has many niches that need to be filled. For each of these niches, there will always be a band that stands out amidst the many as the forebear of that niche. For those inclined towards highly technical, concept-heavy prog, Dream Theater is usually first on the playlist. Those with a taste for the symphonic usually go for a Spock's Beard or Neal Morse record. Opeth sates the death metal cravings of many prog [...]
Ozric Tentacles - Paper Monkeys Release date: October 25, 2011 Ozric was doing the bizarre instrumental-rock way before Battles was nary a discarded Helmet riff, making a huge success out of themselves yet barely making a blip on the indie rock radar. This album cover is a bit of a turning point for them in concerning that scene, as their previous covers aren't anything any Buzzgrinder reader would want to be caught dead with.

Ozric Tentacles have long been a mainstay on the underground music festival circuit, and it is due time for them to garner real recognition. Ed Wynne is a marvelous guitarist, and he is also the writer of all of the band's songs. And the synthesizers: it's like you're spinning through space with a flying teapot of Pot Head Pixies forming a band playing their asses off. At once peaceful yet
At first I didn't think I was at the right place. I mean, I had pulled up in front of the brick faced loading docks across the street from a local microbrewery. The store front in front of me had an a-frame sign, hand painted on the sidewalk. My fender was within inches of it. It read "Texas Hold-em. Totally licensed and legal". There were metal, portable stairs on wheels locked in place against the bricks, allowing access to each of the loading docks. There was a chain link fence separating the docks, effectively locking in the seven port-a-johns that [...]
Saw Ozric Tentacles Wednesday night. What an incredibly excellent & entertaining show. Here's a taste from their latest, The Yumyum Tree , which you can buy many places around the Interweb. Here's one of my all-time favorites, from 1990: Ozric Tentacles - Erpland 2xLP, Dovetail Records Dove LP1, 1990. Enjoy, NØ

I was walking down the street, (concentrating on truckin' right), when I put my hand in my pocket and discovered my brother's iPod. My thoughts flashed back to the night before. Broken snapshots of a faded dream bubbled to the surface though the haze of a hangover. We'd been drinking. Abandoning attempts at reasoning how I had come to be in possession of the anodized audiophony, I decided to take advantage of the situation, gave his headphones a cursory wipe upon my sleeve, shoved them in my ears and fired up the machine. [...]
Ozric Tentacles - Kick Muck Kevvy K's mention of the Ozrics earlier on has been playing on my mind, and so here we go. It's the Ozric Tentacles, and why the hell not? This comes from the only Ozrics LP I know well at all - Pungent Effulgent , their debut on vinyl, released in 1989, although there were apparently some earlier tape-only releases of their legendary live performances since they originally formed in 1984. The Ozrics are purveyors of the highest quality [...]
Je ne sais pas pour le reste du monde, mais il m'arrive des fois, la nuit avant de pioncer, d'avoir des démangeaisons mélodiques dans mon encéphale. Une sensation provoquée exactement par une chanson qui m'assène un certain nerf ; Parfois me gèle l'échine et rien d'autre ne pourra assouvir tout ça. J'aurais envie de l'écoutée une seconde fois ou une troisième, peut être même pour la millième fois, c'est-à-dire qu'elle va boucler la boucle de l'enchaînement de ma playlist à piste unique tout en faisant un souhait en arrière plan de mon esprit " pourvus que ça ne s'arrête jamais [...]
