i really dig this. really creative music. fantastic playing by everyone in this band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqxtBRbOTM8

anyone remember Tangerine Dream.?

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Tangerine dream? One of the best bands ever! ( the 2classic line ups)

[TheGreek]

I think I've got about 12 albums by the Ozrics - Pungent Effulgent is a really easy place to start - I had Paper Monkeys on the CD player last week..great band...RIP Roly Wynn...great player..

[Left Foot]

ozric tentacles divide opinion but I think they are brilliant. Some earlier albums are repetitive but the others are inspired and unique.

[RhysP]

Ozric Tentacles supported my old band once donkeys years ago (late 80s).

[Raslee]

Yes boss, top band! Love the Ozrics, an all time favourite. Yes RIP Roly, fantastic bass player . - superb b-lines
A personal fave:

[HazBeen]

The Ozrics, darn nearly forgot about them, loved them in the nineties.

[gary mac]

Love a bit of Ozric. Mrs. Mac doesn't

So only listen to them when she is out.

Surely that was Here & Now's job? At least they managed to get Daevid in on the act.

i recall many many years ago when we had reasonably decent record shops hearing this in a shop in newbury and asking what it was and buying it as i so impressed with this track

[miles'tone]

Live Underslunky is my favourite. Roly was amazing but I do prefer Zia's live interpretations on this album.
A bit faster and better for it imo.
Soundtrack to my misspent youth, saw them live many times in the 90's. Cracking live band
Played on the same bill as them at a festival in Cardiff about 6 years ago. They were down to playing as a 4 piece with Ed Wynne's wife on bass. She was pretty awesome too.

[paulconnolly]

I've only got Pungent Effulgent but I love it and keep meaning to get more let alone get to see them live.

My kids used to dance to Pteranadon from Jurassic Shift when they were toddlers.

Just love the Ozrics.

[Dandelion]

The Ozrics are fab. Roly was the best bass player, closely followed by Zia. The Wynnes Father designed the 1973 50 pence piece, the one with the interlinked hands.

The hands include Ed;s and Roly's..

I went to their gig at The Globe in Cardiff a few weeks ago. Last time I saw them was 18yrs ago! They are still awesome

[Conan]

My own particular favourite (and one of the all-time great set openers...)

[Noah Deere]

I had heard of them but never listened to them until I saw this thread today. Been listening quite a lot since this morning, I've been missing out

[iconic]

Tangerine dream.....love on a train....top track!

[iconic]

Forgot to add....from the film risky business!

....and tenuous connection....Vinny Shillito who played bass for the ozrics bought a Volvo 850 off me....spent 10 mins doing the deal and hours letting him noodle on my bass collection....very good player indeed.
