    Default Ozric Tentacles

    Someone pointed me in the direction of this band last year.

    Kick Muck

    Can't stop listening to them.
    Awesome guitar work, great use of effects, extended solos, great sense of movement.
    Every time I listen to their music I hear something I dodnt hear last time.

    Anyone here listen to them?

    Can you point me in the direction of some other bands like this?

    Yeah I'm a fan, they've been at it for years, I must have 1st seen them at least 13 or 14 years ago.

    Not sure who to suggest that's like them but you could check out eat static who were started by some ex members, also Nodins Ictus and Transglobal underground would be worth a look

    Thanks.
    Can't understand how I didnt find them earlier meself- I was in a jamming band a decade ago and we played stuff like this (only not so arranged as this - more like get a groove and jam for 20 mins type of thing).

    Had I heard this 10 years ago, I think I would have done things slightly differently in the band. Didnt realise people payed to see this sort of thing lol.

    Try living with them

    That will shatter your dreams and your ear drums if you sleep next door to Conrad.

    Paradox are very like them. The gigged on the same festival circuit and were both influenced by Hillage and Gong.

    WYNIR0 introduced me to the band a few years ago .... I love 'em. You could check out System 7 with Steve Hillage.

    +1. Saw them in Edinburgh years ago. The flaute player was pretty mental and the whole band had a really good jam thing going on. Way better than Hawkwind were, and moremusical to boot.

    ah. Steve Hillage - got to get some more of his stuff. Got a lot of Gong, but not anything else he's done.
    I've heard Fish Rising (we used to jam over a couple of riffs from the album) and Hurdy Gurdy man.
    Awesome guitarist - fantastic phrasing.

    Hoping to see them live sometime over the next couple of years.
