Ozric Does It Again!.......2005-08-05

This band may not be well known, but they are a real treat. Lovers of psychedelic music and creative Rock should own at least some Ozric Tentacles. I own what I believe to be their best music. I have Erpland, Jurassic Shift, Strangeitude, Pungent Effulgent, Curious Corn, and the Floating Seeds Remixed album. Pungent Effulgent is one of my favorites. But the others are great too. They utilize so many things to make their music. It is really interesting, and never offensive. Pick up some or all of the titles I just mentioned if you like their vibe. It's all good!

One Ozric album to rule them all.......2004-04-10

This is by far the best Ozrics album. The others are really rather dull in comparison.

Two facts about the Ozrics.

1. The father of the lead guitarist Ed and late bass player Roly designed the reverse of the British fifty pence coin in 1973.

2. The girl who does the album covers quit smoking and became addicted to sunflower seeds.

Have fun in the sun, eat a bun.

A bit of awlright this.......2002-04-20

I just want to say that there is nothing really to be added to the already excellent reviews of this album.

If you don't own any of the Ozrics then make sure that one of the two that you do own is this one.

It's good!

Excellent first proper label album.......2002-02-21

Here's the history of Pungent Effulgent: THE original version of this album, from 1989, was released only on LP (a little odd in 1989, since the CD was quite common by that time and the cassette was still quite popular) on the Demi-Monde label (a label owned by ex-Hawkwind and Amon Düül II bassist Dave Anderson). "Wreltch" was not featured on the original LP since it already appeared on their final cassette-only release, released at the same time as Pungent Effulgent, The Bits Between the Bits. In 1990, the Ozrics decided to go back to releasing albums themselves, and launched Dovetail, first releasing Erpland, then re-releasing Pungent Efflugent, both in 1990, this time with "Wreltch" and apparently a new cut called "A Gog in the Ether" added. Thanks to Pungent Effulgent being their first proper-label release, the music really benefits big time with actual professional production, rather than the more homemade production of their previous five cassettes (actually six, but one was a live album, that is Live Ethereal Cereal). "Dissolution" was one of the rare times that there was actually vocals on an Ozric song, vocals courtesy of John. There's also a remake of There is Nothing's "O-I" with more real sounding drums than the original. "Phalarn Dawn" is a gentle ambient number with some didgeridoo being used. Of all instruments I wished to hear more on an Ozric album is the didgeridoo. At this time, the Ozrics still wanted to give us some reggae like they had with "Crab Nebula" (There is Nothing), "Sorry Style" (Tantric Obstacles), "The Dusty Pouch" (Sliding Gliding Worlds) and "Sparkling Oasis" (The Bits Between the Bits), this time they give us "The Domes of G'Bal". I take a star off, because if you already own The Bits Between the Bits and Sliding Gliding Worlds, it becomes a little redundant to have to hear "Wreltch" and "Kick Muck" again, simply because both of those appeared exactly the same on those cassette-only releases (not re-recorded like "O-I" was). But there's one other great thing the Ozrics benefitted from a proper record deal is Pungent Effulgent features for the first time Blim artwork in full color (Blim artwork was featured on all their previous cassettes except There is Nothing, and all were black and white since those covers had to be photocopied and having the artwork in color was not practical). Despite having to hear some repeats from their previous cassette releases, Pungent Effulgent is a great album to get, but even better things were to come, and that would be Erpland.
