Ozric Tentacles - Live Underslunky (Ofgv) (Uk) [LP]

One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK's festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient and ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves and psychedelic progressive rock. It's an open exploration of music and the soul. For coming on 40 years, the Ozrics have experienced the vicissitudes of the rock and roll life. The band has flourished through a number of line-up changes, spawned several side projects, created their own record label, scored a hit record and sold over a million albums world-wide. And yet, the basic motivation behind the band's existence has never wavered. Their signature blend of hippy aesthetics and raver electronics with spiraling guitars, textured waves of keyboard and midi samplers, and super-groovy bass and drum rhythms continues to delight fans across the world to this day. Originally released in 1992, Live Underslunky features the band's famed skill for jamming as an incredibly tight-knit unit, showcasing the band's ability just before the release of 1993's #11 UK National Album Chart smash hit, Jurassic Shift. The recordings on this release have remained untainted by studio embellishments, and have an organic and spontaneous feel as the band moved away from relying on sequenced tracks.
