  1. It's been an "Ozrics whilst working" afternoon, so I've been listening to the 'Strangeitude' album for the first time in a while, and just wanted to give a shout-out to the live version of 'The Throbbe' on there, which is most excellent.

  2. #ThrowbackThursday #reviews from 1998: "For the first time in who knows how long, the Ozrics really surprised me with this one. While still undeniably #OzricTentacles in every way, they have pushed further into territories they have always hinted at before, namely dance, electronica, #JazzFusion, and spacey ambient." #ExposeOnline #SpaceRock #ElectronicMusic expose.org/index.php/articles/

  3. Working at home with the rain coming down, listening to the remaster of my favourite (with the possible exception of 'Live Ethereal Cereal') of #OzricTentacles originally cassette-only releases, 'Sliding Gliding Worlds'.

    Their first release with Merv Pepler (later of Eat Static) on drums and "Jumping" Jon Egan on various flutes and woodwinds, it's Jon's flourishes that give this album a touch of exoticism and lift it above what came before. Lovely stuff.

  4. There are worse ways to spend a late afternoon than faffing about whilst listening to 'The Bits Between the Bits', the final release of Ozric Tentacles' earlier cassette-only era.

    Although they were already working on their first "proper label" release when this came out, the album manages to defy its "bits left over from prev. cassettes" origins, and has some cracking tracks - I'm personally fond of 'Symetricum' and the ambient joys of 'Floating Seeds'. 😎 🎵

  5. Ozric Tentacles are also, unsurprisingly, pretty good live.

    In mid-December, I'm going to the Cheese and Grain to see these beauties:

    I'm especially keen to see Steve Hillage. I've been a fan of his since he was with Gong, but his solo work is just as good if not better. Alas, I doubt I'll get to hear him perform "Salmon Song", but you never know...

    The Orb are great (they had a great song with "Fluffy little clouds"), and The Ozric Tentacles have been going so long, they have more albums than I can listen to at this point -- but I own bits-and-pieces.

    Looking forward to it!

  7. Thanks to a recommendation from @imalcolm I've been listening all week to Technicians Of The Sacred from the mighty #ozrictentacles.

    I haven't listened to them in years - my last purchase of theirs was 1993's Jurassic Shift - but it's great to see they're still making great music.

  8. @imalcolm @jawarajabbi great band and love that track too, it ends up similar to Hawkwind’s “Levitation”. Saw them after that album, bought all the old cassettes. I think they might be still going?

  9. @beingreal The Ozrics were a fixture at pretty much every UK festival during the late 80s and 90s. I must have seen them 30 or 40 times.

    Kind of like the sonic equivalent of a mellow mushroom trip that occasionally threatens to get a bit too hectic but never actually does.

    It's been at least 20 years since I've seen them though. But I'm looking forward to reacquainting myself!

  10. Just got tickets to see Ozric Tentacles in Dublin next March. I imagine it'll be like taking a time machine back to 1992.
