Ozric Tentacles Anyone?

Ya, I love this stuff. If you like this then try some of the older Camel stuff as it is very cool.

Erpland was much more enjoyable to me. 'Mysticum Arabicola'is a lot of fun. The title cut had me fantasizing - what if Geddy Lee would keep his mouth shut for an album and Rush put out something like this? Some of these cuts will definitely make my ski mix. Inspiring thread - thanks guys.

Yeah Erpland is just lettin it all hang out jams. Try Strangeitude it is great too.

Cat D.N.A.!!!!!

One or two of their albums is more than enough. No vocals, and few hooks outside of the strange synth sounds themselves. Just seems like a baseline to jam on at most points. Yeah, it is interesting sometimes, but I really have to be in the mood for it. Kind of like background prog/metal, if you know what I mean. Not really "audiophile" fodder either.

I much prefer Porcupine Tree, or The Flower Kings, or many other prog bands to Ozric.

Enjoy,
Bob
