With a perfectly blended fusion of numerous musical styles and ideas,
the Ozrics elevate consciousness and open the spaces on their sophomore post-cassette outing (which includes a re-recorded "Eternal Wheel," originally laid down in the cassette days). The infusion of reggae, dub, and Middle Eastern elements help to make this particular set a true joy to experience -- it's hard not to bliss out while this is playing.
Ozric Tentacles have developed an impressive following during their existence, defying every attempt to pigeonhole them as one thing or another -- the best approach is simply to abandon all categories and go with the flow. That said, this 1998 CD release treats the music with great respect, and sounds wonderful. ~ Steven McDonald
