[kj] ozric tenticles

[Peter Moltesen]

The Ozrics were great in their day (the 1980s mainly) - specially if you
felt anything for the sounds of Here & Now / Gong etc etc (which I very much
do / did)

Not seen them since the early 1990s but then they were verging towards muso
guitar wank of the worst order in a Joe Satriani type way - awful,  really
grim..

In my opinion, of course..

 

Better than the Ozrics were the closely related Ullulators, who released a
few cassettes and one album back in the day - more dub / world music than
the Ozrics - if My Life In the Bush of Ghosts floats your boat then you'll
love the Ullulators

 

But best of all, by some way were the also closely related Oroonies -
somewhere between Austin Osman Spare, Psychic TV, The Virgin Prunes and Gong
yet still 

totally unique - again they released a whole load of tapes, a 12" and an
album back in the day - well worth a listen if you can track them down.

Back before they were big, I attended a private party they played in
Edinburgh in 1988.  They were really good!
 
Er....that's it?  Sorry.
