Ozric Tentacles
Arborescence
The Story
"Arborescence", from Ozric Tentacles, serves as the bridge from '70s cosmic rock to '90s style instrumental rock fusion. Guitarist Ed Wynne described the band's music in an interview with Richard Allen, "It's anything that comes along, really. Recording wise, certainly, I don't see it as a particular style. If anything, it's the opposite of that. If I'm putting together one track of a certain style, then I'm sure the one after that will be totally different. The ethereal side to it is definitely there all the way through, and other recognisable bits, but live, I'd say, it's a slightly heavier thing - more like a band than a recording set up. Space rock, really. Full - speed - ahead, cosmic, space music!"
