CLASSIC OZRIC TENTACLES ALBUM 'STRANGEITUDE' AVAILABLE ON CD

"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

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 over 30 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 worldwide. And yet, the basic motivation behind the band's existence has never wavered.

Their signature blend of hippy aesthetics & raver electronics with spiralling guitars, textured waves of keyboard & midi samplers & super-groovy bass & drum rhythms continue to delight fans across the world to this day.

'Strangeitude' was released in 1991 & featured the band's frst single, 'Sploosh!' which reached number 1 in the UK independent chart. The album serves well as an opener to the band's world, with a leaning towards their techno infuences blended in with jazz, psychedelic rock & dub. 'Strangeitude' is now back & presented in a digipack sleeve complete with a 4-page booklet & uses the 2020 Ed Wynne remaster.
