Ozric Tentacles
Tantric Obstacles/Erpsongs
The Story
"Tantric Obstacles/Erpsongs" features the eclectic UK act's 1984 album, "Erpsongs'" and 1985 album, "Tantric Obstacles'" packaged together for one low price. With a legacy of brilliant instrumental work over the last eighteen years, the Ozric Tentacles are a modern anachronism: progressive psychedelic music in all it's fervent glory. They may be from England, but the sound is more late 60's San Francisco, a rich musical landscape of color, depth & hue. The dazzlingly diverse material features the core Ozric Tentacles (Ed, Roly, Paul and Joe) along with Tom Brooks on synthesizers, Gavin Griffiths on guitar and Nick Van Gelder on drums.
