Ozric Tentacles-The Yumyum Tree (2009)

In the mid-1980s, Ozric Tentacles, in Somerset, a county in the south-west of England, founded Ozric Tentacles, a group of young people related to progressive music and electronic rock. In the beginning they were regulars at the Glastonbury Festival where they sold their songs on cassettes.
It would not be until 1989 when they released their first album "Pungent Effulgent" under the independent label Dovetail Records and distributed by Snapper Music.
The music of Ozric Tentacles is a versatile amalgamation of psychedelic and spatial instrumental rock, influenced by the progressive rock of bands like Gong, Pink Floyd and the krautrock of the early 70s.
His first album was followed by a series of works all focused on the same difercion, among which "Erpland" (1990), "Jurassic Shift" (1993) or "The Hidden Step" (2000) stand out. In 2009, "The Yumyum Tree" would arrive, their twelfth album, which contains a suggestive experimental mix with oriental elements, electronic rhythms, funk, ethereal landscapes, acidic and hypnotic guitars and powerful bass lines, with an impressive array of instruments, all this conveniently framed in a successful balance of relaxation, frenzy and intensity.
A band that produces such fascinating and seductive music that they have attracted hundreds of thousands of followers around the world.
