Ozric Tentacles Anyone?

I recently discovered Ozric Tenacles "Jurassic Shift" through Pandora.com (great music site).

This band really kicks it!

I'd describe it as atmospheric, progressive rock jams. Think of some of the longer Porcupine Tree instrumentals. Different though.

Great recording as well.

Highly recommended.

Afterswoosh is also great. It's a collection of songs from '84 to '92 that were previously only released on cassette.

I saw them in concert a couple of years ago. Wow, if I were on 'shrooms I'd have probably freaked out. The most psychedelic show I think I've ever seen.

Picked up Erpland in the used bin at my local haunt. Will give it a go tonight.

I recommend Arborescence in addition to Jurassic Shift.
So, Arborescence is different musically from Jurrasic Shift, and these two recordings cover the general musical flavor of the rest of the discography?

Do I understand this correctly?

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.
