This was the soundtrack to the herb-fragranced, alternative lifestyle that wound its way around country lanes looking for a place to set up \u0026amp; party, away from the psychoses of corporate life. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Fittingly, the band was formed at the Stonehenge Festival in 1983. Ed \u0026amp; Roly Wynne, Nick Van Gelder (Tig) \u0026amp; Gavin Griffiths (at that point known as the Bolshem People) were joined for a jam by Joie 'Ozroonuiculator' Hinton - a synth wizard who had just returned from India loaded with ethnic sound recordings that he had collected. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e At some point, having attracted an audience, someone asked what the name of the new ensemble was \u0026amp; Ed responded 'Ozric Tentacles' mainly because he couldn't think of anything else. The name stuck \u0026amp; a mainstay of the UK festival scene for the next 30 years was born. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Without any desire or need for a record label, it was the Ozric Tentacles' cassette releases that funded \u0026amp; supported their journey through the '80's. These simple artefacts with photocopied inserts \u0026amp; rainbow spray-painted labels were sold in vast quantities at festivals, on the merchandise table at Club Dog \u0026amp; through a mail order outlet called Better Days Tape distribution. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e 'Erpsongs' was the band's debut album in 1985 \u0026amp; was only released through cassette originally. It contained studio recordings made in 1984 \u0026amp; 85, \u0026amp; didn't come with a printed track listing, \u0026amp; whilst live favourites such as the high energy 'Velmwend' \u0026amp; more relaxed 'Dots Thots' were easily identifiable the contents remained a mystery for many years until the 'Vitamin Enhanced' CDs clarified the running order. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e 'Erpsongs' remains a firm favourite amongst fans, establishing the band's distinctive '70's influenced swirling space rock jams while maintaining their very original own sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e 'ERPSONGS' WILL BE REISSUED BY KSCOPE ON CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVelmwend ( 04:36 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFast Dots ( 03:47 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThyroid ( 05:05 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpiral Mind ( 03:33 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSynth On A Plinth ( 01:58 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDharma Reggae ( 04:55 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTidal Otherness ( 05:40 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eErpriff ( Glastonbury Oct '85 ) ( 01:38 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescension ( 04:59 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMisty Gliss ( 04:32 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDots Thots ( 04:28 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClock Drops ( 02:48 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive Jam ( 06:52 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOddhamshaw ( 06:16 )\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55128695800193,"sku":"1376773","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51wgyIobdgL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766780074","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1376773","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
