'''Ozric Tentacles''' are an English [[instrumental rock]] band, whose music incorporates elements from a diverse range of genres, including [[psychedelic rock]], [[progressive rock]], [[space rock]], [[jazz fusion]], [[electronic music]], [[dub music]], [[world music]], and [[ambient music]]. Formed in [[Somerset]] in 1983, the band has released over 30 albums selling over a million copies worldwide despite never having signed to a major recording label.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.musoscribe.com/features/ozric_tentacles.shtml |title=Features and Interviews > Ozric Tentacles |website=Musoscribe.com |access-date=18 April 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120401051840/http://www.musoscribe.com/features/ozric_tentacles.shtml |archive-date=1 April 2012  ))</ref> Throughout many line-up changes over the years, co-founder and guitarist [[Ed Wynne]] has remained the only original member of the band.<ref name="guitarplayer">((cite magazine | url=http://www.guitarplayer.com/artists/1013/ed-wynne--raves-on/12988 | title=Ed Wynne Raves On | magazine=[[Guitar Player]] | date=1 February 2010 | access-date=6 June 2014 | author=Cleveland, Barry))</ref> The band is now credited as one of the major influences of the UK festival scene's re-emergence,((cn|date=August 2022)) becoming particularly associated with the [[Glastonbury Festival]] and their handmade series of cassette releases, mostly sold at gigs and through a fan club.

==History==
=== The Cassette Years: 1983–1989 ===
Ozric Tentacles formed at the [[Stonehenge Free Festival]] in 1983, where the brothers Ed and Roly Wynne, along with drummer Nick "Tig" Van Gelder, bassist Eddie Myer and keyboardist Joie Hinton, performed as a group originally known as Bolshem People. After playing a six-hour jam session, the group was asked the name of their band, to which Ed Wynne replied, "Ozric Tentacles". This name was one of the ideas, alongside "Malcolm Segments," that had come up in a humorous conversation the band had about possible names for weird or alien breakfast cereals,<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.ozrics.com/#top|title=Ozric Tentacles – Tour Dates, Music Downloads|website=Ozrics.com|date=12 December 2021 ))</ref> hence the references to breakfast cereal in several album titles and covers.<ref name="Larkin">((cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Virgin Encyclopedia of Popular Music]]|editor=Colin Larkin|editor-link=Colin Larkin (writer)|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|date=1997|edition=Concise|isbn=1-85227-745-9|page=927))</ref> According to Wynne, "'Ozric' is an old Viking name meaning 'divine energy', and 'tentacles' is a silly word to put on the end"<ref>((Cite web |url=http://musictravel.free.fr/articles/ozric/ozric1.htm |title=Ozric Tentacles |date=9 February 2001 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010209001749/http://musictravel.free.fr/articles/ozric/ozric1.htm |archive-date=9 February 2001|url-status=bot: unknown |access-date=20 January 2017 ))</ref> (though in fact the name ''[[Osric (disambiguation)|Osric]]'' comes from [[Old English]]; its elements mean 'god' and 'ruler').<ref>Julia Cresswell, ''Naming Your Baby: The Definitive Dictionary of First Names'' (A&C Black, 2008), p. 183 (s.v. Osbert) ((ISBN|9780713683134)).</ref> The music scene in early-mid 1980s England allowed the band to make use of the re-emergence of free festivals to spread their music. Underground attention for their style of psychedelic rock – which makes prominent use of synthesizers, guitars, and samplers – allowed the band to surge. Notoriety spread mostly through the circulation of [[Bootleg recording|bootleg]] cassettes in the early years, which were welcomed by the band.

[[File:EdWynne7 (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|270px|[[Ed Wynne]] has remained the only original member of the band.]]

Gigs were often spontaneous during this period, for the lineup of the Ozrics was fluid. Shows often consisted of whoever was available to perform that night, due to the large number of people within the band. Granted there was power available, the band would often perform for a long time, sometimes until sunrise. It was not uncommon for members of the Ozrics to contribute to other musical collaborations. This practice has stayed with the band since its origination, and has allowed many members to come and go. In 1984, the first major lineup change occurred when second guitarist, Gavin Griffiths, left the band to form The Ulluators with fellow member Joie on keyboards.<ref name="Larkin"/>

The following year saw the first official cassette release of ''Erpsongs'', which originally did not have track titles. This was possibly due to the album being a collection of songs recorded over three years. The next release, ''Tantric Obstacles'', was released the same year and was intended to be more of an album. These early recordings were sometimes consisting solely of Ed Wynne playing the guitars, bass, and synths. All were recorded on a [[TEAC Corporation|TEAC]] 4-track [[Reel-to-reel audio tape recording|reel-to-reel]] at their attic studio in Rushmere, a converted farmhouse on Wimbledon Common in London.((citation needed|date=April 2020)) Some tracks on the cassette albums are performed with a [[drum machine]], due to the studio lacking the necessary [[soundproofing]].<ref name=":0">((Cite web |url=http://ozrics.elementfx.com/ozric_te.html |title=Ozric Tentacles – Freakbeat 1990 |website=Ozrics.elementfx.com |access-date=8 January 2018 |archive-date=9 January 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180109181100/http://ozrics.elementfx.com/ozric_te.html |url-status=dead ))</ref> As a result of two official releases, the band's popularity began to rise. This led to fans sending in blank [[Cassette single|cassettes]] with the intent of them being filled with live or unreleased music. The Ozrics obliged. Eventually, the demand became too much for an independent band to manage. This resulted in the third release, ''Live Ethereal Cereal'', being a live compilation album of concerts between 1985 and 1986.

The band's sound began to adopt a wider repertoire of music towards the end of 1986. This is especially illustrated on the fourth cassette release, ''There is Nothing''. Songs now began to highlight a space rock vibe, with flavours of [[reggae]]. This, Wynne says, was not intended, but was the result of seeing the band [[Here & Now (band)|Here & Now]] perform live.<ref>((Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPhX3CeSH_w  |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/HPhX3CeSH_w| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|title=Ozric Tentacles Interview with BLACK BOOK |publisher=YouTube |access-date=4 January 2018))((cbignore))</ref> The addition of more world music (through [[Sampling (music)|sampling]] and performing) was the result of Joie Hinton travelling to India and Ed to Thailand.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.ozrics.com |title=Ozric Tentacles – Tour Dates, Music Downloads |website=Ozrics.com |access-date=4 January 2018))</ref> There is also a noticeable rise in quality on the 1986 release of ''There is Nothing'', due to the purchase of a new 8-track tape machine. This allowed for more synth [[overdubbing]] and real drum tracks.

More lineup changes than ever before occurred around this time, most notably the addition of the front-man, "Jumping" John Egan and the departure of keyboardist Tom Brooks in 1987. This created a sonic gap for Ed Wynne to fill. Coincidentally, earlier in the year, Ed was busy writing "chill-out music" with his side-project [[Nodens Ictus]], so the idea of improving his own synth skills inspired him. Despite more changes and collaborations, they managed to release ''Sliding Gliding Worlds'' in 1988, shortly before drummer Tig Velder departed from the band and was replaced with 21-year-old Merv Pepler. 1989 saw the last cassette release by the band with ''The Bits Between the Bits'', which was a collection of unreleased recordings between 1985 and 1989. This was a filler album while the band was preparing for its first vinyl release the same year.

=== Dovetail Records: 1989–present ===
In 1989, the band started their own label, Dovetail Records, with its first release, ''[[Pungent Effulgent]]''. The album was originally released on [[Vinyl album|vinyl]], but saw a CD release the following year. The band also began to receive commercial recognition around this time, exemplified by their performance with the singer-songwriter [[Donovan]] at the Glastonbury Festival on 18 June 1989. This was followed by ''[[Erpland]]'' in 1990, a double album.<ref name=":0" /> Next year the band reached their first No. 1 recognition in the UK Indie Chart with their single "Sploosh!" from ''[[Strangeitude]]''. In approximately 1992, the band decided to create their own recording studio to cut down on the costs of recording an album.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://ozrics.elementfx.com/oz_int.html |title=Sound on Sound Magazine – Aug 1996 |website=Ozrics.elementfx.com |access-date=8 January 2018 |archive-date=9 January 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180109181056/http://ozrics.elementfx.com/oz_int.html |url-status=dead ))</ref> The studio, coined "The Mill", was refurbished from an old water mill.

By 1993, ''[[Jurassic Shift]]'' album reached the [[Top 40|Top 20]] of the [[UK Albums Chart]] and No. 1 in the UK Indie Chart, spending a total of three months in the charts.<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums">((cite book | first= David | last= Roberts | year= 2006 | title= British Hit Singles & Albums | edition= 19th | publisher= Guinness World Records Limited | location= London | isbn= 1-904994-10-5 | page= 413))</ref>

The band has gone through myriad line-up changes, with Ed Wynne being the only constant presence since the beginning. In early years, many members left to pursue similar musical projects. Nevertheless, throughout the 1990s and 2000s, the band has released albums with a prolific rate, continues to tour extensively and has maintained its identity and trademark sound. The band is famous for their live performances, in which they have long taken an audiovisual approach with elaborate lighting and projections.

In June 2012, the Wynnes' house in [[Colorado]] was destroyed by wild fires that had ravaged the area for over a week. The band was on tour at the time. Archived material was destroyed, as was their studio and some instruments. After the fire, the band sought help from fans to help rebuild the archive.<ref name="Fire">((cite web | url=http://ozrics.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1610&page=2 | title=High Park Fire | website=Ozrics.proboards.com | access-date=29 June 2012 | page=2))</ref>

The band toured in 2021–22, as Ozric Electronic, across venues in the UK, with members Ed Wynne and Silas Neptune.<ref>((Cite web|last=Clarke|first=Paul|date=2020-11-22|title=Psych legends Ozric Tentacles to play a series of online shows|url=https://louderthanwar.com/psych-legends-ozric-tentacles-back-with-online-live-shows/|access-date=2021-03-29|website=Louder Than War|language=en-GB))</ref><ref>((Cite web |date=2021-12-13 |title=The arresting weirdness of Ozric Tentacles |url=https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/c/arresting-weirdness-ozric-tentacles |access-date=2022-11-28 |website=Morning Star |language=en))</ref>

The band (Ed Wynne, Silas Neptune, Brandi Wynne, Tim Wallander, along with Saskia Maxwell) toured with [[Gong (band)|Gong]] in November-December 2022.<ref>((Cite web |last=Askew |first=Robin |date=2022-11-21 |title=Review: Ozric Tentacles/Gong, Trinity |url=https://www.bristol247.com/culture/music/review-ozric-tentacles-gong-trinity/ |access-date=2022-11-28 |website=Bristol24/7 |language=en))</ref>

==Musical style==
[[File:BrandiWynne.jpg|thumb|upright|Brandi Wynne joined the band in 2004.]]
The music of Ozric Tentacles is a combination of driving [[bassline]]s, keyboards and intricate guitar work, with a sound strongly influenced by [[Steve Hillage]] and [[Gong (band)|Gong]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.peppermintiguana.co.uk/SOUNDS/INTERVIEWS/OZRIC_TENTACLES.htm |title=PEPPERMINT IGUANA ozric tentacles interview |website=Peppermintiguana.co.uk |date=21 June 1984 |access-date=18 April 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120315010625/http://www.peppermintiguana.co.uk/SOUNDS/INTERVIEWS/OZRIC_TENTACLES.htm |archive-date=15 March 2012  ))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.getreadytorock.com/rock_stars/ed_wynne.htm |title=Get Ready to ROCK! Interviews with Ed Wynne of progressive ambient rock band Ozric Tentacles |website=Getreadytorock.com |access-date=18 April 2012))</ref> Many of the songs incorporate unusual [[time signature]]s and Eastern-influenced [[mode (music)|modes]]. Furthermore, the band often uses complex arrangements, which include changes in time signature, [[key signature|key]] and [[tempo]] over the course of the track. The arrangements also take influence from [[funk]], [[jazz fusion]], [[dub music|dub]], [[reggae]] and [[ambient music]]. These features are frequently mixed with electronic elements, including densely layered [[arpeggio|arpeggiated]] synthesizers, pads, synth basslines, effects and programmed drumbeats. Ozric Tentacles also use a wide range of instruments in their performances. In addition to regular rock band instruments, [[woodwind instrument|woodwinds]], ethnic percussion, [[koto (instrument)|koto]], saz and [[sitar]] have appeared throughout their music.

According to a number of interviews over the years, the band does not listen to music as much as they write and record music.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">((Cite web|url=http://ozrics.elementfx.com/art-93.html|title=Article '93 -Jurassic Shift|website=Ozrics.elementfx.com|access-date=8 January 2018))</ref>

The vast majority of their songs are [[instrumental]]s. In Ed Wynne's words, this is because, "I've never really liked vocals. Words always get in the way, make everything too specific. Our music is more about creating moods and giving the listener the chance to get whatever they want out of it. Music is better than singing."<ref name=":1" /> Minor exceptions to this would be "Dissolution" off of ''[[Pungent Effulgent]]'' and "Iscense" from the album ''[[Erpland]]''. The band's spare use of vocals came primarily when Jumping John Egan was a member. Occasionally during live gigs, he would write poetry and shout it during the song.<ref name=":0" />
