True legends of the UK underground and one of the grooviest acts on Planet Earth… Ed Wynne brings the music of Ozric Tentacles to Ramsgate on December 11th!
The Ozrics’ uniquely trippy soundscapes connect fans of progressive rock, psychedelia and dance music culture. Truly, a live experience like no other, as any festival-goer will tell you…
“The best space rockers on Earth” – BBC
One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK’s festival scene, Ozric Tentacles formed during the solstice at Stonehenge Free Festival 1983 going on to become psychedelic staples at Glastonbury and other festivals. Inspired by a myriad of musical genres and musicians from Kraut-rockers Kraan to guitar maestro Steve Vai, from ethnic Arabic to electronic techno, from Hendrix to Hillage. Ozric Tentacles‘ music is a fusion of sounds, styles and genres that cannot be categorised nor plagiarised, such is its complexity.
October 2020 sees the release of a brand new Ozric Tentacles album, Space For Earth. Written, programmed, recorded and produced throughout 2019/20 by Ed Wynne in ‘Blue Bubble Studios’ by the sea, this exploratory and diverse musical adventure comprises seven new tracks spanning 45 minutes. Inspired by the Scottish hills, valleys and beaches surrounding his studio, Wynne feels that lockdown in a strange kind of way has provided space for the Earth to breathe for a while and for people to rediscover its resonant healing frequency. ‘This is space music for people from the Earth to enjoy’.
“Music you can groove to, trance to, meditate to, or just be to” – AllMusic
“It’s as if they’re bestowing upon the crowd a freedom to do as they wish. A captivating blend of dub bass and tantric beats. Absorb it, revel in it, soak it in” – Louder Than War
“An awesome slab of psych-stoner-prog-rock mentalness” – Soundblab
