...Ozrics before, it seemed to me that I wasn't going to just pick these albums up no a whim (there were several used copies of the Ozric digipacks on display for five bucks each), so when I got home that evening, I went straight to my computer and on to the archives, where a search for 'Ozric Tentacles' proved successful. After a quick listen...

...Ozric album features longer tracks, which is more related to the space and psyche rock music. At least I feel so. The longest piece on this album is Ayurvedic. No wonder that it is also influenced with Eastern flavours, but not only These eleven minutes of music are rather varied (at least according Ozric standards). Fine atmospheric parts,...

...Ozric Tentacles are one of the many threatening psychedelic/space rock bands that have emerged over the years thanks to the sheer size of their ever expanding discography and the nature of their very off the wall music, but there's always been something intriguing about them. I was introduced to this band by a friend who lent me their Hidden...

...Ozric space keys. Some wordless vocals fill in the background space. Two minutes in we get a guitar solo as the keys get louder. Things then drift into various exercises of the same rhythms with noises as I fight my hardest to stay awake and attentive. It gets more intense near the end as it works to pull you back in but by this point you...

...Ozric's fabulous world. Ed Wynne's guitar soars above the canopy and spirals to new heights before exploding into a ball of gently fluttering sounds which fall back to earht cushioned by the gentle synth ... it s a dreamworld. The bass approach is different. I'm a huge fan of Zia Geelani and for me his rhythmical influence is a lacking here...

...Ozric Tentacles album? Response: another Ozric Tentacles one This is now the fourth of their pre-label career (if you exclude the Live Ethereal Cereal) and to be honest, there is nothing new here. Well, maybe the sound quality is a little better and there seems to be some more cohesion in the song writing Still, the reggae-oriented mood that...

OZRIC TENTACLES - The Hidden Step (2000)

2008-10-19 12:22:17 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Ozric Tentacles are all of the same vein. There were hardly great musical experiences or discovery throughout their many albums. At least this is how I feel Now, About these Hidden Steps I have to admit that the band incorporated some new sounds in here. Don't worry about the repetitiveness: you'll still get it. On top of this, the band is...

OZRIC TENTACLES - The Floor's Too Far Away (2006) [rated 4/5 by Slartibartfast]

2008-01-04 19:05:05 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Ozric Tentacles in a nutshell: never before has a prog band put out so many albums that sound so much alike. And if I might also add, who says you cant dance to progressive music. The Ozrics deliver high-energy instrumental psychedelic music. I think if they tried to play a slow song they would crash or something. This is a band where you can...

...Ozrics felt compelled to do much more electronic music in this, and the Psychedelic aspect of the record suffers for it, I think. Where as electronics were used in ERPLAND to add the dreamy atmosphere of a good Space-Rock journey, this time we hear many beeps and boops directed at apparently making the rest of the music seem more 'catchy',...
