It’s an open exploration of music \u0026amp; the soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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. This was the soundtrack to the herbfragranced, alternative lifestyle that wound its way around country lanes looking for a place to set up \u0026amp; party, away from the psychoses of corporate life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor over 30 years, the Ozrics have experienced the vicissitudes of the rock \u0026amp; roll life. The band has flourished through several line-up changes, spawned several side projects, created their own record label, scored a hit record \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; raver electronics with spiralling guitars, textured waves of keyboard \u0026amp; midi samplers \u0026amp; super-groovy bass \u0026amp; drum rhythms continue to delight fans across the world to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Tantric Obstacles’ was released in 1985 on cassette only following in the footsteps of their debut ‘Erpsongs’. The album contains tracks that are still firm live favourites – 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 its 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\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003e1.
