Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Ozric Tentacles - 'Erpland' (Original Masters).......2006-11-13

Good,outstanding and solid 1990 classic release from these neo-progressive space rockers. Known to us common folks as Ozric Tentacles. I've heard several long time Ozric fan(s) mention that 'Erpland' is one of the best pieces of work they've ever put out. I sort of tend to agree with that. Tunes here that's almost sure to pull your senses RIGHT in are the awesome opener "Eternal Wheel"(believe they still play this song on tour, even to this day), "Sunscape", title track "Erpland" and "Valley Of A Thousand Thoughts". I realize there are SO many Ozric CD titles to choose from. If you happen to be a new/er fan, 'Erpland' would be a nice place to start,then work your way from there. Recommended.

5 out of 5 stars The Best of the First Line-Up.......2003-03-01

Ozric T are excellect musicians. This record over all has the best material that the original line up has written. To be honest, the band is CLEARLY influenced by Daevid Allen's Gong- in particular- the albums You and Angel's Egg. But these guys took it that step further, which only a fresh band could do. The guitarist and both keyboardist can REALLY play. They create ambient psychodelic moods and grooves that are simply fantastic, if you are into it. You can feel the synergy of the band at this time in their careers. It all comes together here, on Erpland, for the inception of the band. Just a note: The record was recorded in 1987. Enough said. Ingenious spin!

5 out of 5 stars OT's masterpiece.......2003-02-11

I second what reviewer spiral mind says.
This album is OT's masterpiece, head and
shoulders above their others. Don't miss
it if you like great progressive rock.

5 out of 5 stars A vision of our blue world and all the colors of sunlight.........2002-07-12

It always seems to be an exercise in frustration trying to comment on an Ozric album. Not because there's little to say, you understand, but because their music is very difficult for my meager writing skill to describe. It's earthy and ethnic, it's psychedelic techno, it's ambient, it's groove-based and melodic at the same time, it's spacey and otherworldly.. it's just plain weird. The group consists of the elements of a conventional rock band but take everything into a bizarre trippy outer-space groove that any plain rock band wouldn't dream of, augmented along the way by a variety of flutes, reeds and whistles. The percussion is rooted by simple drums and enhanced with an exotic array of congas, tablas and I don't even know what else. Synths are used liberally, but they create a background atmosphere rather than a chief melody. There are no lyrics present (or needed) apart from an occasional stray word floating in the ether. The music is enough to make pictures in the air all by itself; I imagine tropical beaches, hidden jungle valleys, birds soaring across sunlit mountains, and the vastness of deep space.
