Ozric Tentacles
Fulford Arms, York
DESPITE having remained underground, Ozric Tentacles is a name that most people over 40 would instantly recognise as definitive of a particular period in contemporary music, bridging a gap between prog and psych with their swirling guitars, and the rave scene with their electronic dub sounds.
The message is the medium and the current tour is Ozric Tentacles Electronic — a stripped-backed two-piece version of the band with main-brain Ed Wynne and son Sylas Neptune.
