Best Of Ozric Tentacles
25 May 2004
Double CD in June
The perfect introduction to one of the few truly independent bands on the planet
Eternal Wheel, to be released June 21st, features 10 of the Ozrics best loved tracks, plus a bonus CD and enhanced video track.

Ozric Tentacles are legends of the UK underground. Inspired by a myriad of music and musicians from Kraut-rockers Kraan to guitar maestro Steve Vai, from ethnic Arabic to electronic techno, from Hendrix to Hillage.

Formed in the early eighties, the Ozrics began life as a free-form psychedelic vehicle for jamming, attracting a dedicated fan-base at grassroots level by playing at all the free festivals to fans of space-rock, dub, psychedelia, and later on when the festivals had developed into raves, to fans of house and techno.

Having then developed their own cottage industry - studio, label, tour bus, dedicated following - the Ozrics eventually achieved top ten-album status in the UK with their 1993 album ‘Jurassic Shift’. It was, and still is, an astonishing accomplishment for a band with no celebrity status, and no major record label backing.

In their 20 years, the band has flourished through a number of line-up changes, spawned several side projects (Nodens Ictus, Ullulators) and new entities (Eat Static) put out 22 albums, scored a top ten and sold close to one million records.
