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.

Inspired by the Scottish hills, valleys and beaches surrounding his studio, Wynne feels that lockdown in a strange kind of way has provided Space For The Earth to breathe for a while and for people to rediscover its resonant healing frequency. 'This is space music for people from the Earth to enjoy'.

Ozrics' synth player Silas Neptune and drummer Balázs Szende join forces again with Wynne on the album which also features special guest appearances from former members synth player Joie Hinton, drummer Nick Van Gelder, flautist Champignon and percussionist Paul Hankin. Psychedelic voyager Gracerooms also contributes additional synth layers.

The album ebbs and flows through blissed-out soundscapes featuring incendiary guitar solos, space grooves and ambient atmospheres. Wynne plays his recently revived Ibanez Jem, a new 8-string guitar, all kinds of synths and bass. Van Gelder uses the original snare he played on the first six cassette albums and early live Ozric performances. One tune features Champignon playing kaval, a traditional wooden Balkan flute.
