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.

With their instrumental compositions being the highlight of their discography (with only a few minor exceptions), Ozric Tentacles' music showcases ambition blended seamlessly with natural talent. Their energetic and slick sound is sure to captivate fans of progressive rock genres.

1989’s The Bits Between the Bits was the final Ozrics cassette release and was essentially a collection of various previously unreleased recordings from ‘85 – ‘89, released whilst the band readied their Pungent Effulgent album. That recording made in Wales at Dave Anderson’s Demi Monde Studios, conceived &amp; recorded almost entirely on magic mushrooms, was to commence a whole new era for the band. 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 &amp; 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 and party, away from the psychoses of corporate life.Without any desire or need for a record label, it was the Ozric Tentacles' cassette releases that funded and supported their journey through the ‘80s. These simple artefacts with photocopied inserts &amp; rainbow spray-painted labels were sold in vast quantities at festivals, on the merchandise table at Club Dog &amp; through a mail order outlet.
