They're a fantastic band. Loved their music ever since someone lent me 'Aborescence' a few years ago.
Arborescence was the first I heard of them too.
"There's a Planet Here" made me go and buy the CD - the bass line puts me in a special place
their electro alter ego, Eat Static are good too

Evilmags, in his own true words: "I'm a well known pervert who'd stop at nothing to get my hands on anything female".
Love them
Been a big time Ozrics fan for years.

A lot of System 7 is quite techno, in that Planet Dog sort of way. Believe Gong are part of Meltdown this year.Originally Posted by Ziggs65
"I like the rapid punch of solid-state for the bottom, and the rodent-gnawing distortion of the tubes on top," Cipollina said.
Like other long-lasting acts, their style has modified with time. Some of their stuff sounded like they'd been listening to early Camel, which I rather liked. Other stuff, as other contributors have said, appeared to be influenced by Steve Hillage/Gong/Hawkwind. Another band who used to gig with the Ozrics was The Magic Mushroom Band and they definitely had similar influences.
I've been a fan of them for years and years, 20+ maybe?
While they have done some more keyboard based albums their sound has remained unique and interesting. Not many other bands that hit the mark in the same way.
I've been trying to get a few people together to write, rehearse or record some material like theirs but is never easy when you have this ineradicable band still going.
Ozrics now have 3/4 of the band as family members. A track from their album last year.

They've still got it.
Indeed. Good choice of song from the last album. I actually sat down and figured some of it out today. Key changes and everything.
