KozmikTentacles Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 sure, but I think he meant more like "sonic structures" if you know what I mean. I agree too they are not just a jam band as they are classified as sometimes. on some gigs they really let it loose but on the records they have a concept.

You know, the structure that I can find in programmed tracks is something I can not find in Ozric songs and that's putting me into an irregular, nervous state ... in a way. And I don't quite like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioV Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 As you know, Eat Static is a sideproject, but there's also one called ZubZub by the bassist Zia (who left Ozric's in 1993). Not as good, but it's ok, and some tracks have ozric feel. More electronic though. 517451[/snapback] I've been listening to Ozric since the late '80s and I nearly fell off my chair reading this Now I know why I love Eat Static so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Matta Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Perhaps I'm not hippie enough, and perhaps I haven't been stoned enough while listening, but man, I don't get it. I will say, however, that I like their presence - very peaceful, their album art is wonderful, and they have a very positive vibe about them that attracts positive people, and for that I give them big thumbs up.

FrozenRealm Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 The Ozrics are great indeed Pungent Effulgent is my favourite release from them... but I want to correct the one here who said that Eat Static is a side project from the Ozric Tentacles.. because that's not true exactly. Eat Static initially contained 3 Ozric members, but later on only Merv and Joey continued together and stepped out of the band to become Eat Static Full time (Which is great ofcourse, they rock harder then the Ozrics imo ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are wonderful and skillful musicians but i think they are overreacting with the Reverbs. It sounds so big. Lerger then life, as Hypersonic would say. They have some really good tunes here and there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepdrone Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Ozric is the perfect roadtrip music. I 've seen them life once and they truly rocked, no, spaced. Only the excessive use of strobolights irritated me pretty intense. The 70's fluid visuals on the otherhand really made me feel like a hippy on Woodstock. 517021[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ov3rdos3 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I just listened to Ozric Tenticles - Spirals in Hyperspace. Unbelievably good. I actually havnt heard anything this good in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KozmikTentacles Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 JackCheese >> given it a couple of listens, it has some really nice tracks. but I think it's one of their lesser good. certainly better than Swirly Termination though which they released to get rid of their current record lable at that time. abasio >> on CD you can get all very easily. if you live in Europe look at Rubbish Records catalogue they sell them for about £ 5. if you want vinyl it's a bit harder, I think The Hidden Step and Arborscense are still fairly easy to find though. p.s. as far recommendations it's hard to tell. you can say there are different periods though. 1. first the 6 early albums that came on cassette. these are fun and melodic albums, not as layered and clever compositions as the albums that would follow. the sound quality is not the best either. still enjoyable albums though. 2. the early 90's albums. pungent, erpland, jurassic, strangeitude. this is my favorite period. the compositions are the best. the sound quality is great. 3. later 90's period starting with arborscense. good production but the compositions are not their best no longer. they become more and more electronic based, that is why I think if you're a hardcore trance-fan you might like this stuff. ppl on this forum seem to like Waterfall Cities alot?? The Hidden Step is my favorite if you can count it into this period. 4. early 2000 til now. the "confusing period" maybe?? lots of line-up changes. Spirals In Hyperspace which is good but it's more of an Ed solo album. and the recent The Floor's Too Far Away which is not my favorite but it's not bad. sounds more like a compilation with songs from different eras. to summon it up, try these albums if you want a taste of each period: Sliding Gliding Worlds Jurassic Shift The Hidden Step Spirals In Hyperspace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatsu Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'm ashamed to say but I've never heard a single track by OT. At least not as far as I know. Thanks to this thread I found out that some of their CDs are available at nice price so I've ordered Waterfall City (because it has the nicest cover ). Hope I'll like it, the samples sounded nice...
