Ozric Tentacles is an English progressive/space/psychedelic rock band founded in 1983 in Somerset. They blend jazz rock, hard rock, and acid rock with influences from world music to create a dynamic and diverse sound. With over 30 albums released and selling over a million copies worldwide, the band has achieved remarkable success without signing to a major recording label. Despite numerous line-up changes, co-founder and guitarist Ed Wynne has remained the sole original member of the band.

The current line-up includes Ed Wynne on guitars, keyboards, bass, programming, and various instruments since 1983. Brandi Wynne joined as bassist from 2004-2016 and returned in 2022. Silas Wynne handles keyboards and synthesizers since 2009 while Tim Wallander takes charge of drums and percussion starting from 2022.

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. That album proved that despite being over 25 years into their career the band were still a force to be reckoned with Classic Rock Prog stating, "There are enough moments of brilliance here to make this the best thing the band have committed to tape since 'Jurassic Shift' in 1993." One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK's festival scene, the Ozrics combine ambient & ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, virtuouso rare grooves & psychedelic-tinged progressive rock. 'Paper Monkeys' has been remastered by Ed Wynne & is available via digi-pack CD.
