Ozric Tentacles, hailing from Somerset, England, are a pioneering instrumental rock band that have been weaving their sonic tapestry since 1983. Born from the counterculture of the Stonehenge Free Festival, their music is a kaleidoscopic blend of psychedelic rock, progressive rock, space rock, and a myriad of other genres, creating a unique sound that transcends conventional boundaries. With over 30 albums released and a million copies sold worldwide, Ozric Tentacles have never been confined by major labels, instead forging their own path through handmade cassette releases and a dedicated fan club. Fronted by the ever-present guitarist Ed Wynne, the band has been a cornerstone of the UK festival scene, particularly at Glastonbury, and their influence can still be felt today. Their discography, from "Erpland" to "Spirals in Hyperspace," is a journey through soundscapes that are as vast and varied as the cosmos itself.
