Ozric Tentacles, Future Sound of London, Porcupine Tree

Posted by: Alex S. on 27 July 2001

Sound good on Naim gear

Try Ozrics if you like spaced out guitar, synths, good (real) druming, flute etc, especially the last 2 albums - Waterfall Cities and The Hidden Step. A bit like Orbital with attitude and musicianship instead of sampling.

For sampling and interesting noises try Future Sound of London.

For a modern axeman style and some good tunes try Porcupine Tree.

No.

And the Lone Deranger who was 4-6 weeks late once is now 4-6 weeks late again! What can the guy be doing?

BTW When does that granite arrive?

Granite

Oh no you don't! No turning this place into geeksville. This is a nice quiet sane place where perfectly reasonable folk dribble over the new 12 CD box set from the Grateful Dead.

P.S. Next couple of weeks I think

'Oh no you don't! No turning this place into geeksville.'

Very pleasant it was too.

I've also sampled an Infected Mushroom but found it less to my taste.

My Ozrics vinyl finally arrived from Stretchy Records via the Ozrics site. (It took a while because the person normally in charge was recently sacked for embezzlement).

Its been worth the wait. Despite the fact that Waterfall Cities is the same colour as my hair in '77 (a lurid version of the blue you see in some of the writing here), and that Hidden Step looks like its made from a rejected yellow Addis washing-up bowl, they both piss all over the CDs as usual. Also bought the 3 sided Arborescence at the same time.

All highly recommended and not silly money.
