Ozric Tentacles-Plant Music

Pumpernickel

One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK’s festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient and ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves and psychedelic progressive rock. It’s an open exploration of music and the soul.

For over 25 years, the Ozrics have experienced the vicissitudes of the rock and roll life. The band has flourished through a number of line-up changes, spawned several side projects, created their own record label, put out close to 25 albums, scored a hit record and sold over a million albums world-wide. And yet, the basic motivation behind the band’s existence has never wavered.

Their signature blend of hippy aesthetics and raver electronics with spiraling guitars, textured waves of keyboard and midi samplers, and supergroovy bass and drum rhythms continues to delight fans across the world to this day.

Erpland was the band’s eighth release and was originally released in 1990 and is considered by many fans as one of their finest works. The album has been remastered for this 2 disc set.

Disc 2 is a DVD featuring the first authorised released of the much sought after Brixton Fridge gig which has been lost for 20 years and only previously available on bootlegged VHS tapes. The gig was recorded in May 1991 and features the classic line-up of Ed, Joie, Jon, Roly, Merv and Paul Hankin.

Ozric Tentacles - Erpland (from Erpland)

COMBINING ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRONICS, INSISTENT GROOVES, VIRTUOSO SOLOING, STIRRING MELODIES & DIVERSE WORLD MUSIC INFLUENCES, TECHNICIANS OF THE SACRED IS THE NEW STUDIO RELEASE FROM THE STILL UNCLASSIFIABLE OZRIC TENTACLES

TECHNICIANS OF THE SACRED is the first all-new OZRIC TENTACLES album since 2011’s PAPER MONKEYS (and their first double album since their classic Erpland release of 1990), and comprises eleven tracks, with ninety minutes of music. Tracks such as Switchback, Rubbing Shoulders With The Infinite and Butterfly Garden are brilliant examples of the Ozrics musical art; pulsating rhythms and blissed-out tunefulness present and correct.

The band are to undertake a twenty-four date European tour in late April and May 2015, including twelve UK shows to promote the much-anticipated release of Technicians of the Sacred, with further gigs in the USA to follow.

Ozric Tentacles first came together at the Stonehenge Free Festival in 1983, and built an audience through selling privately produced cassettes of their music. Their talent for hypnotic, mantra-like grooves found kindred spirits in the British rave scene of the late 1980s, uniting the seemingly disparate ‘New Age’ Hippie and Rave audiences. Despite the lack of a hit single, media notoriety or the usual music business hype, much less major-label backing, their 1993 album Jurassic Shift was a UK top twenty album, and their hardcore audience is both dedicated and loyal to the band’s unique sound. At the core of the band’s music is an exploration of electronic musical textures and compulsive, danceable grooves interlaced with strong melodies and multi-ethnic musical references.

Due to be released through Madfish, Technicians of the Sacred is set to be released as a 2 disc digipack with the stunning mystical album artwork created by Ozric family member Natan, flowing through to the 8 panels of the digipack.

Ozric Tentacles - Will of the Wisps (from Paper Monkeys)

Those mourning the absence of this year’s Glastonbury will find solace, if not solstice in the knowledge that the original spirit of the festival will be coming to a big-screen near them this summer.

Beautifully filmed in epic CinemaScope and newly created from a wealth of previously unseen material, this revealing snapshot of British cultural history drops you right in the middle of the best of the old-school Glastonburys. If you were there you're in it and if not you'll wish you had been as you are immersed in a no-holds-barred trip through music, magic and midsummer madness. Hailed as "a masterpiece" by Academy Award winner Mike Leigh in it's initial incarnation, Glastonbury The Movie In Flashback is a must-see for all festival fans. The ultimate festival trip.
