OZRIC TENTACLES REISSUE CLASSIC LIVE ALBUM 'LIVE UNDERSLUNKY' ON DOUBLE VINYL

"Much more than just a homage to those hippy bands of the 70's; they are actually doing FOR REAL what those bands gave the impression of being but never really were." NME

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 & electronic, jazzy experimentation. This was the soundtrack to the herbfragranced, alternative lifestyle that wound its way around country lanes looking for a place to set up & party, away from the psychoses of corporate life.One of the most infuential bands to emerge from the UK's festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient & ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves & psychedelic progressive rock. It's an open exploration of music & the soul.

For coming on 40 years, the Ozrics have experienced the vicissitudes of the rock & roll life. The band has fourished through several line- up changes, spawned several side projects, created their own record label, scored a hit record & sold over a million albums world-wide. And yet, the basic motivation behind the band's existence has never wavered.

Originally released in 1992, 'Live Underslunky' features the band's famed skill for jamming as an incredibly tight- knit unit. The recordings on this release have remained untainted by studio embellishments & have an organic & spontaneous feel as the band moved away from relying on sequenced tracks.'Live Underslunky' is newly remastered by Ed Wynne & available on 2LP via Kscope.
