5 stars success! Ozric Tentacles make another excellent album. regardless of the band line-up being really unstable for the last couple of years, the music is still fantastic. and infact, there is something here for every Ozric Tentacles fan. there are times when this album sounds like the pre-record-label tapes, times when it sounds like Erpland and Strangeitude, times when it sounds like Jurassic Shift, Become The Other, Waterfall Cities and times when it sounds like Spirals In Hyperspace. so basically, you can hear echoes of their whole career on this album (not to mention that the artwork has once again been handled by Blim - about time!). but that's not to say that this album has nothing new to offer. Ozric Tentacles are still moving onwards and changing, and, more than ever, the music is truly worthy of being called "progressive." progressive in the true sense of the word - listen to any track on the album and watch if it stays still. it just wont. it'll change and change and change, going to new places. i think nowadays, Ozric Tentacles music takes a bit more close listening, or perhaps a bit more time than the earlier albums. the earlier albums were more accessable, but nowadays, the music is more complex and, as i said, progressive. so, don't write this off the first time you listen to it! give it time, or pay close attention. oh, and turn it up really loud too!

highly recommended!
