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.

"Eight beautifully played experiments in sonic pupil dilation... 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 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 over 25 years, the Ozrics have experienced the vicissitudes of the rock &amp; roll life. The band has flourished through a number of line-up changes, spawned several side projects (including Eat Static &amp; Nodens Ictus), created their own record label (Dovetail &amp; Stretchy), put out close to 25 albums, scored a hit record &amp; sold over a million albums worldwide. And yet, the basic motivation behind the band's existence never wavered.A campfire at the Stonehenge free festival in 1983 witnessed the birth of Ozric Tentacles. It was there that synth player Joie Hinton, stumbled upon brother's Ed Wynne (guitar) &amp; Roly Wynne (bass), performing in a band known at the time as Bolshem People, along with drummer Nick 'Tig' Van Gelder (Jamiroquai). From that very first jam session, a musical compatibility was evoked that has since been a trademark of the Ozric Tentacles. It's a signature blend of hippy aesthetics &amp; raver electronics with spiralling guitars, textured waves of keyboard &amp; midi samplers &amp; supergroovy bass &amp; drum rhythms.'The Yum Yum Tree' proved that despite being over 25 years into their career the band were still a force to be reckoned with, keeping their instrumental excellence &amp; delivering an especially MIDI-powered phantasmagorical musical world. This mid-price CD edition is presented in jewel case packaging complete with a 4-page art booklet.
