The Best Era of Ozric Tentacles

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


Hello pogheads ! I made a little poll for Ozric Tentacles' fans in order to see which era of their career is the most appreciated. As the band always changed by transition, I broke their discography into four parts according to the line-up, the style and the sound aesthetics. So we have:
- The first era in the late 80's (featuring mainly Ed Wynne g and synts, Joie Hinton synts, Roly Wynne b, Nick van Gelder dr, Paul Hankin percussions). From Erpsongs to The Bits Between The Bits.
- The classic era in the early 90's (featuring mainly Ed Wynne g and synts, Joie Hinton synts, Roly Wynne or Zia b, Merv Pepler dr, John Egan flute, Paul Hankin percussions). From Pungent Effulgent to Arborescence.
- The third era in the late 90's (featuring mainly Ed Wynne g and synts, Seaweed synts, Zia b, Rad dr, John Egan flute). From Become The Other to Swirly Termination.
- The present era (featuring mainly Ed Wynne g and synts, Brandi b and synts, Silas Neptune synts, Ollie Seagle dr). From Spirals in Hyperspace to ...
 Personnaly I would choose the classic era because it contains Pungent Effulgent, Erpland and Jurassic Shift, all wonderful albums, but strangely I think I prefer the line-up of the third era, there's something very rock inside!
