Description
A raggle-taggle, unpretentious assortment of punk-infused, dreadlocked hippies, 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 & electronic, jazzy experimentation. This was the soundtrack to the herb-fragranced, alternative lifestyle that wound its way around country lanes looking for a place to set up & party, away from the psychoses of corporate life. ‘Erpsongs’ was the band’s debut album in 1985 & was only released through cassette originally. It contained studio recordings made in 1984 & 85 & didn’t come with a printed track listing & whilst live favourites such as the high energy ‘Velmwend’ & more relaxed ‘Dots Thots’ were easily identifiable the contents remained a mystery for many years until the ‘Vitamin Enhanced’ CDs clarified the running order. ‘Erpsongs’ remains a firm favourite amongst fans, establishing the band’s distinctive 70’s influenced swirling space rock jams while maintaining their very original own sound.
