Ozric Tentacles – Waterfall Cities

Description

One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK’s festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient & ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves & psychedelic progressive rock. It’s an open exploration of music & the soul. For over 30 years, the Ozrics have experienced the vicissitudes of the rock & roll life. The band has flourished through several line-up changes, spawned several side projects, created their own record label, scored a hit record & 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 & raver electronics with spiraling guitars, textured waves of keyboard & midi samplers & super-groovy bass & drum rhythms continue to delight fans across the world to this day. Originally released in September 1999, ‘Waterfall Cities’ was a giant leap forward for the band, taking a more obvious step into electronica, whilst still managing to retain their unique sound. An explosion of keyboards, acid squelches & blistering guitar passages, the musical & technical brilliance of the Ozrics comes to the fore in strange & unexpected ways on this album. ‘Waterfall Cities’ – remastered by Ed Wynne & available on CD digipack with four page booklet via Kscope.
