Ozric Tentacles at the source of psychedelia
Ozric Tentacles has made an impressive career in music business, since the mid-80s, but this is the first time the good people of Ilosaarirock have had the chance to enjoy power grip of music and colours.
Impressively confident delivery managed to conjure up a psychedelic ocean, in which you could lose yourself without really noticing. It was nigh impossible to stray from the path with Ed Wynne leading the way, and even if you did, all the sign post guided you to the Sunrise Festival state of mind. Yours truly had mystifyingly few memories from the actual gig, but one thing is dead certain. When you hear Ozric Tentacles, time and space lose all meaning.
