Ozric Tentacles - Humboldt Currant (Solstice single)

[@JimNewstead]

Mmmmmmmm, lovely - new Ozrics! It's like their music grows from inside you when you listen on headphones - it's quite extraordinary. Copious washes of delays and reverbs over drifting, floating arps and beautifully picked guitar licks. Ever since Pungent Effulgent they've been one of my favourite bands - that's a long time!

[@thomasmcginn795]

Couldn't agree with you more buddy.👌

[@wolfgangrottmann6731]

the best instrumental band ever . no stupid lyricys -- just mega great music too less people know them and they dont know what they miss

[@abdulhfhd]

mega great music

[@Pat315]

mega great music

[@abdulhfhd]

mega pint of music

[@ceenote969]

Found the Ozrics on public radio in 1989 and they remain my favorite band.

[@shaharfahima8978]

still the best psychedelic music in the solar system

[@radar3415]

Heard shpongle?

[@conspirala]

Common.. Since 95

[@mikej3129]

In no way an educated Ozric fan, this album is my first taster of this band but this tune is pure progressive rave music, love it, in headphones its killer. The instrumentation & rhythms on this track is so good, when those acoustic reverb guitars kick in, sweet spot!

[@Jamesp1972]

Some of the greatest musicians in the multiverse

[@ThomasHKrag]

Swirly and so damn good music like every time!

[@nikolaosmosxakis3395]

very very good.................................................

[@HelpTheFortress]

Leave it to the Ozrics to save 2020 imo from being an un-salvageable disaster

[@bJTsqd283]

Until Possford and his crew get hold of it

[@blacktoothfox677]

Glad this is top comment... It is indeed the psychedelic getaway vehicle we required!

[@otherreality]

Thanks Ed, much love and respect!

[@JimmuClarku]

This and the Slow Rush. Some good things to remember from 2020... Can't wait.

[@KayMcDye]

I agreeee!! Slow Rush & Space for the Earth

[@paulmcelroy547]

Ozric Tentacles... Probably the strongest proponents, in music, of the saying "if it ain't broken, don't fix it"... You know where you stand, what you're getting and you know that it's going to sound magic... In these days of global pandemic, continents on fire, whole countries flooding, the rise of fascism, the new Cold War, Murder Hornets, 50 mile wide walls of flying ants, biblical locust plagues and Cumbernauld being mentioned on telly with no reference to the Shit Tip Town Centre it's exactly this sort of stability we need. This sounds excellent!

[@ufopilotFPV]

If you told me in the 90's that i would still be hearing new ozrics songs in 2020 i wouldn't have believed it ! Keep it up guys, love and light

[@PebanbayPlayz]

They literally make the best psychedelic on this planet, no questions. Can't wait till the new album (Space for the Earth) drops this October!

[@heavendreamful]

Album in my collection, thanks for vid.

[@2112CO]

I love this Ed is one of best unknown guitar players in the world... Please come back to Colorado. Saw them two nights in 2003 I think killer shows.

[@metaldetectorists76]

Now that's what I call music!!!!

[@norcalnerfclub3423]

Hello from Humboldt County!

[@stevealder5115]

Superb. Discovered the ozrics 25 years ago and its still some of the best music I've ever heard. Another great album. Keep em coming!

[@randomcat4711]

Amazing audioscape every time ✨💫👽🌱

[@10oclocktic]

Someone said to recently what music do you play.. I said instrumental.. He said ozric..ha I've forgotten all about ye! That's why I'm here! Thanks!

[@zoecarr2672]

not listened to these in a long long while....now i remember why i likes them...its cosmic man:-)

[@stevesnailfish]

Been into them for a tad under 30 years since first hearing Erpland........It's been a long 5 years since the last album although Ed's album and the Nodens Ictus stuff has kept me going....Ozrics are just so.......Ozrics...

[@TheBanana93]

This gives me proper dreadzone vibes!

[@mike_lowndes]

Loved this band since Acid Daze Finsbury Park. Strangeitude remains one of my top 10 albums. Hawkwind/Gong-influenced with production values and epic rock guitar.

[@chipius]

Grettings from Chile, exelent álbum

[@dawnslovescotty7]

I love Ozric Tentacles! Thank you Ed this is so needed by me and everyone and you always give us fans what we crave!! This is epic!!!

[@basstentacles]

Aaaaamaaaaazzzzziiiinnnnngggggggggg!!! music for the universe

[@DaveBishop66]

Sublime as usual

[@MrEucrow]

sounds like good old ozrics. my favourite from the new album

[@The_blindpizzaguy1300]

I love the way the drum sound on this song. There a lot more Chris than technicians of the sacred. Course ever since I found out about this Vanden 2014 I was hooked instantly.

[@Invisible-Rhino]

yep - it delivers - of course - Ed Wynne is always able to find new and enticing shapes to stretch my brain into.,.,.

[@hansdumbf7608]

ahhh, the eternal ozrics, it's always the same and it's always good.

[@diniba50]

YEAH!

[@rainerlodes1563]

No,. Yes!

[@Stevesupcom]

Nice!

[@bJTsqd283]

Is it October yet lol

[@iamnatman]

1:00 reminds me of H. by Tool

[@bJTsqd283]

Possford and his crew carn't wait much longer to cash in on it

[@HmsSulaco]

Why so negative ?, Smile Dude ;)

[@Sanctuary.Studio.D1]

Ta!!!

[@bJTsqd283]

I think search those that have access to a studio. Try and contact me on phone x

[@MrTeapotpilot]

[@wexfordranger]

Been a fan since the late 80's. But this is what happens when the arpeggiator writes the music. No dynamics, no thrill any more.

[@otherreality]

You are a bit harsh imho. There was always the arp, the vcs bubbles, the whole deal. There are cool choppy funky guit parts here, maybe you miss the keyb solo by seaweed or sth, I can relate but still, Ed keeps it alive show some respect and acknowledge that the band can't be the same for 30+ years.

[@Invisible-Rhino]

you want to see the arpeggiator writing the song? head over to my soundcloud page! XD XD XD soundcloud.com/pedro-agno/mucky-badger-2dmsonesoliloquy-second-livejam

[@The_blindpizzaguy1300]

I disagree because there are really some unusual guitar things going on in this song as well as the soundscape is just awesome. Sure it’s one of their more simpler ones but it doesn’t mean that they won’t blow her mind with something else later on down the line with really unusual time signatures and things like that.

[@wexfordranger]

@@otherreality No, if you listen to the earlier stuff, the guys constructed beautiful complex instrumental songs, with different sections and dynamics, stops and starts, imaginative switches to different musical styles, etc. Songs like Saucers, Ayurvedic, Jurassic Shift etc etc etc. Now it's more meandering and without shape. It's nice to listen to I suppose but I don't ever feel like something unpredictable or exciting is going to happen. The old songs were really worked out as a band and those shifts in style were at times spectacular (the shifts to reggae in Vita Voom and Space Between Your Ears for example). As a musician I just miss that feeling that Ozrics are a band.

[@SirBoycie]

@@wexfordranger I agree, regrettably. Post-Hidden Step the albums do largely sound like they were done by Ed alone, recorded into a laptop (on the cheap). I really do hate the synth bass lines and programmed drums that have been all over their releases since Hidden Step (and on this) and the 'kitchen sink' production and arrangements seem symptomatic of too much messing around in a DAW. Totally miss proper bass guitar and drums...always a great feature of their earlier albums. It's clear to me that the likes of Joie, Seaweed, Zia etc. brought a much needed band dynamic to Ozrics.
