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.

Ozric Tentacles-Erpland (1990)

Erpland would be the second album of the British Ozric Tentacles, published in 1990, in the wake of his previous and debut work Pungent Effulgent (1989), where oriental sounds, fusion, reggae, and much sonic experimentation stand out.

For many fans of psychedelic and space rock this is one of the best albums that have been published in the last 30 years.

Ozric Tentacles-Jurassic Shift (1993)

Ozric Tentacles boast an extensive discography brimming with monumental and brilliant works, all of which showcase superb displays of progressive rock, jazz fusion, hard and heavy rock, hints of electronic music, and even sounds bordering on new age. “Jurassic Shift”, released in 1993, was the British band's fourth studio album, infused with atmospheric keyboards, sharp guitars, and dynamic instrumental passages, a powerful and precise rhythm section, and astonishingly spatial and complex soundscapes. However, there's also room for Eastern and exotic sounds, further enhancing Ozric Tentacles' already unmistakable style. This is an album where there isn't a single weak point; everything fits together perfectly, taking the listener on one of the most breathtaking and exciting musical journeys imaginable. And while it's true that we can find many other bands that are perhaps more creative and influential than them, none offer this elaborate blend of sounds and inspiration, as demonstrated in the progressive ambient electronica of "Sunhair", the space rock of "Stretchy", the esoteric "Feng Shui", the oriental "Half Light In Thillai", or the atmospheric "Jurassic Shift". Ozric Tentacles are often criticized by progressive purists for always making and sounding very similar, and while they have a point, it's also true that they never repeat the same musical structures in each track of each of their albums, combining a wide range of styles and a perfect instrumental execution that makes them unique.
