Pungent Effulgent

Description

The ozrics 1989 first true album reissued on double heavyweight vinyl for first time. One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UKs festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient and ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves and psychedelic progressive rock.

For over 30 years, the Ozrics have experienced the vicissitudes of the rock and roll life. The band has flourished through a number of line-up changes, spawned several side projects, created their own record label, scored a hit record and sold over a million albums world-wide. And yet, the basic motivation behind the bands existence has never wavered. Their signature blend of hippy aesthetics and raver electronics with spiraling guitars, textured waves of keyboard and midi samplers, and super-groovy bass and drum rhythms connects fans of progressive rock, psychedelia and DJ culture.

Pungent Effulgent, the Ozrics first official album after self-releasing material on cassettes, is the first produced to label standards and retains their explorative style based on improvisations whilst performing live. The vinyl features a bonus live performance of the 19 minute roller Ayervedism originally taken from the Ozrics self-made cassettes sold at gigs and festivals. The bands early influences from peers such as Hawkwind, Gong and Pink Floyd are evident in this transformative release.
