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.

"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 

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 &amp; party, away from the psychoses of corporate life.One of the most infuential bands to emerge from the UK's festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient &amp; ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves &amp; psychedelic progressive rock. It's an open exploration of music &amp; the soul. 

For coming on 40 years, the Ozrics have experienced the vicissitudes of the rock &amp; roll life. The band has flourished through several line- up changes, spawned several side projects, created their own record label, scored a hit record &amp; sold over a million albums world-wide. And yet, the basic motivation behind the band's existence has never wavered. Originally released in 1992, Live Underslunky&nbsp;features the band's famed skill for jamming as an incredibly tight-knit unit. The recordings on this release have remained untainted by studio embellishments &amp; have an organic &amp; spontaneous feel as the band moved away from relying on sequenced tracks.&nbsp;Live Underslunky&nbsp;is newly remastered by Ed Wynne &amp; available on 2LP via Kscope.
