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.

Pungent Effulgent, the Ozric’s first ‘official’ album in 1989, after self-releasing material on cassettes, is the first produced to label standards and retains their explorative style based on improvisations whilst performing live.

One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK’s festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient and ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incred- ible rave grooves and psychedelic progressive rock. It’s an open exploration of music and the soul. For over 30 years, the Ozrics have experienced the vicissitudes of the rock and roll life. The band has flourished through several line-up changes, spawned sev- eral side projects, created their own record label, scored a hit record and sold over a million albums world-wide. And yet, the basic motivation behind the band’s existence has never wavered. 

Their signature blend of hippy aesthetics and raver electronics with spiraling guitars, textured waves of keyboard and midi samplers, and super-groovy bass and drum rhythms connects fans of progressive rock, psychedelia and DJ cu ture. Pungent Effulgent is released on heavyweight audiophile vinyl. The band’s early influences from peers such as Hawkwind, Gong and Pink Floyd are evident in this transformative release.
