Ozric Tentacles has been my favorite psychedelic Space Rock band since 1993. They're amazing.

[@robertcraane7910]

Nobody i know knows them... i intrrviewed them a few times...they are geniuses!

[@DerekSmalls-jt8vz]

Love them. Lucky enough to have seen them live many times. Awesome band.

[@barry013]

Just got into the Ozrics following a recommendation - amazing band. How can bands of such quality exist in the background without wider recognition and love! My go to music now when I am working or just in the house…

[@salvessen6100]

Ozrics will always be my favourite band. Great reaction, thanks

[@johnwalsh128]

The Ozrics are a great band. This is the second review I've stumbled across in the last couple of days. I have about 22 of their albums. And I'm going to see them in Liverpool next month. Great review, thanks for posting it. 👍

[@johnprior588]

Start back in 1984 Jonathon - first 6 albums all home-produced, then on through the preceding 40 years - saw the original band 4 times back in the 80's, and no less astounding even then - they just go on and on, thank goodness!!

[@yvescallaert7923]

They're one of the bands that simply has stuck with me sine i got to know them in 1993. And from since then i have explored many bands, producers and genres, but where many things came and went or i grew out of, i never tired of Ozric and still don't. But having them as an influential reference set th bar really high for other psychedelic bands ad music to actually cut through or remain satisfactory. However, i'm still stunned by how they are generally so underrated or unknown by a lot of 'buffs'.

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

"Theres a Planet here" - "Chewy" and "Strangitude" is AMAZING - EPIC band !

[@dyrkeschaefer]

Haven't listened to Ozric Tentacles in awhile. Would really like to see them play live, someday. Was watching someone react to Infected Mushroom and thought I'd check if anyone is reacting to Ozric Tentacles.

They are touring in the UK in December 2021. www.songkick.com/artists/27172-ozric-tentacles/calendar

I saw OT back in the late 90s and they were huge fun. First time I went to Glastonbury with the person who would become my wife, in 2003, I took her along to see the Ozrics, System 7 and Eat Static. she didn't last more than 10 minutes with any of them 😍. I knew then that our musical tastes wold never align.

[@miff227]

@@davidmorgan6896 didn't go, but was that with the "fruit salad light show"?

[@ChuckWasHere]

They're so much fun to watch live. I've seen them three times. Definitely check them out when they come around your way.

[@jurassicparadigmshift4920]

Here's a few Psychedelic albums to check out. Sky Cries Mary - This Timeless Turning, Moon Duo - Stars Are The Light, Wooden Shjips - V, Slift - Ummon, Shpongle - Ineffable Mysteries From Shoingleland, The Orb - Orblivion, 60 Channels - Tuned In Turned On.

[@jacobia7093]

Glad you like them. Back in my early 20’s, they were my go-to band to listen to whenever I did LSD. You should check out an off-shoot of them called Eat Static, recommend their track Forgotten Rites 😎

[@JonathonThamesMusic]

This was great stuff! I'm definitely interested in checking that out. Thank you so much for the recommendation and for checking out the reaction! 😊

[@jacobia7093]

@@JonathonThamesMusic you’re welcome. Your reaction was fun, watching you groove out to it. I hope you like the Eat Static stuff, it’s Ozric’s keyboard player with another guy, doing electronic tranceydancey stuff, although they’ve also incorporated a bit of drum ‘n’ bass into their music too.

[@PianoDentist]

yeah, that is a very familiar story for me too! 😎 I saw the Ozrics a couple of times over the past 30 years. Always an awesome, dancey and spiritual experience.

Done that five weeks ago at Onboard The Craft. They were amazing as always

[@MiseRecords]

A copyright disclaimer is cool... but asking for permission and crediting the right-owners is better! So, if you could just drop a line crediting our work and pointing to our KZbin channel in your video description, it would be nice! Anyway, we're very happy that you liked this awesome band we filmed when we produced their show in our city!

I want to formally apologize. As a new tuber, I'm still learning all of the practical and ethical procedures involved in creating this kind of content, and it was not my intention in any way to bypass giving due credit to the rightful owners, or to bypass the proper protocol to gain the proper permission to use the content in one of my videos. Moving forward, I will be sure to contact you ahead of time if I would like to ask about reacting to any content of which you are the rightful owners. I will include a link in the description as per your request, and humbly ask that you accept my sincerest apology. Thank you for addressing this with me.

[@miff227]

@MiseRecords is it policy to give permission for this type of content? I have zero doubt that ozrics were as successful as they were in the 90s as a direct result of friend-copies and even bootleg copies of the "demo" tapes. I certainly wouldn't have heard them without these and certainly wouldn't have bought the CD box set in the 90s. These type of channels and react content is one of the new ways for band exposure and popularity to spread, and as ozrics is a gigging band and thus filling venues is the goal there, I'm sure the band embraces this stuff. You're right to ask Jonathan to properly cite and credit the band, I hope you also do give permission in future 👍🙂

[@eventsotherthingswithchris9019]

Ed Wynn is like a combo of Huw Lloyd Langton & Helios Creed!!

[@zsoltpocman6673]

One of my favorite bands is Ozric, and within it the track called Epiphiloy. The drummer's name is Balázs Szende, a Hungarian guy, and he does it very well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoG0k2ieZatqopI

[@octaviussludberry9016]

Been an Ozrics fan since I first saw them at a festival called Traveller's Age Trust in 1987. it's lke others hve commented, the do churn out a lot of simlar-ish stuff now, but if you're stoned as fuck, who cares.

I really dug it! And apparently they've been around for quite some time. So glad it was recommend to me. 😊

[@miff227]

@@JonathonThamesMusic grew up (in the UK) on Erpsongs in around 1983/4, everyone had the same copy-of-a-copy-of-a-copy tape with no bass and drop outs. Sliding Gliding Worlds is my favorite album though. As a single track, it's hard to beat O-I (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYWUgmWVlJWSf8k) I'd have it as my MMA walk-out track, to weird out the opponent! Plus it has the Wonder Woman bassline in the middle thrown in for good measure!
