Ozric Tentacles: C/D, S/D

Yesh it's extremely glossy

I think I finally smoked enough weed to unlock the Ozric Tentacles level…I’ve half-assedly tried with them occasionally throughout the years but always felt like it sounded like video game music after a short while…however, I recently saw a live video of theirs from the mid-80s where the Hawkwind-meets-dub-meets-new-age aspects were really front and center, and since then I’ve gotten hooked on Pungent Effulgent in a major way…really killer album that’s basically a combination of those sounds with a decent amount of Steve Hillage thrown in the mix.

I feel like I’m standing atop the mountain where on one side the path down leads to a respectable life and the other side leads to deep Ozric Tentacles worship and eventually Shpongle or something…just feels like a place to tread carefully.

there’s some early stuff I’ve heard that’s super spacey and cool, sort of like spacy early UFO mixed with Ashra or something?

I've found over the last few years that I have developed a weird appetite for UK festy bands and enjoy digging into those early releases especially, despite the sound quality. but I guess if anything it seems to suit the music in a way.

I'm also Ozric Curious.

been eyeing the live gigs with Gong, ....one day... I tell myself.

for others digging the 80s fest band scene, maybe this compilation fits here?

Count me in as Ozric Curious as well, half the descriptions make it sound like something I'd kind of like, the other half make it sound like something I'd run away from (Shpongle!). I did find a CD copy of Strangeitude in a dollar box at one point recently, though I haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

Shpongle rules, jon

Nope sorry, Shpongle is bad. Not Disco Biscuits bad, but bad.
