One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK's festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient \u0026amp; ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves \u0026amp; psychedelic progressive rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's an open exploration of music \u0026amp; the soul. A raggle-taggle, unpretentious assortment of punk-infused, dreadlocked hippies, since 1983 the Ozric Tentacles wove psychedelic audio-tapestries that captured the almost dangerous musical diversity of the free festival scene, blending acid rock with dub, reggae, ethnic world music \u0026amp; electronic, jazzy experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was the soundtrack to the herb-fragranced, alternative lifestyle that wound it's way around country lanes looking for a place to set up \u0026amp; party, away from the psychoses of corporate life. Tantric Obstacles was released in 1985 on cassette only following in the footsteps of their debut Erpsongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album contains tracks that are still firm live favorites - the energetic guitar space-rocker \"Sniffing Dog\" \u0026amp; the more complex \"Og-Ha-Be\", which kicks off the album with the trademark Ozrics sound - a funky riff that gradually builds \u0026amp; recedes \u0026amp; builds again until it eventually explodes upon a scintillating pinnacle of space guitar. \"Music to Gargle At\" is almost an early version of the '91 'Strangetitude' single \"Sploosh!\"; with it's water samples, electronic beats \u0026amp; plug hole noises. \"Trees Of Eternity\" is clearly influenced by Steve Hillage, whilst \"Oddhamshaw Style\" \u0026amp; \"Sorry Style\" date the tape with the kind of classic dub that could be heard drifting across the main drag of any festival site from a ramshackle sound system in the early part of the '80's.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49971621396722,"sku":"802644818511","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/8395028398385_85quality_4188445-2952190.webp?v=1787574030","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/ozric-tentacles-tantric-obstacles-140gm","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
