Alright, I think I'll give Ozric Tentacles another try. Will just have to find time to fit them inseedy wrote:haha awesome...i envy your ride
ozric....i mean no doubt there is a slight level of "sameness" but i would actually just call that their signature sound/brand of psychedelia. it's like heavy arabesque pysch or something
also....i think if you give them a more in depth chance you'll find that the albums actually aren't all that similar and you'll notice a fluid change in their sound over the years. the earliest stuff is raw, true space rock pioneering stuff. then they got into serious instrumental compositions. then they started to sound more electronic than "instrumental". nowadays they are a shadow of their former self. after "the hidden step" the band fell apart and became pretty much a solo project. these last few albums are still great but it's not the same...it's more electronic, "samey" as you say, and you can easily identify how little of a "band effort" the music is.
ozric to me is just completely f'n epic. their albums from the beginning through hidden step are tattoed to my soul!
porcupine tree.....man i've tried to like them so many times over the years...just don't really like the vocals and compositions. i will say though that their album METANOIA is all instrumental and i'm quite fond of that one i think it's maybe rare or unreleased idk because whenever i mention it to PT fans they have no idea what i'm talking about. seek it out if you don't have it!
final note along the lines of ozric......DUDE!
NODENS ICTUS - SPACELINES
this is the main ozric dude and the old drummer (who is now eat static).
this is album is ambient, lush, organic, tribal........just absolutely beautiful music. (no guitars or any heavy stuff....)
i've been stressing this album to this forum ever since i been here...so you buddy are no different
I have Metanoia by Porcupine Tree. It was basically an jam session they had whilst coming up with ideas for the album Signify. It's cool, but I have other favourites by them.
