Ozric Tentacles - Dance of the Loomi off Arborescence

[Ykoz26]

Omg when the snare comes in at 3:15

[NahualliUoxtitla]

This is one of my favorite songs, and how it came into my life, as in, my actual playlist, is a total mystery. It just.... started playing one day while riding my bike. I'm not even that crazy about the rest of OT's music, to be perfectly honest, but this song, this one right here, is just so.... meta.

-M-

[Meoroth12]

mushroom music....

[NahualliUoxtitla]

@Meoroth12

so funny you say that.

[tubellarbells]

My one favourite track from the album and one I happily played on Fm radio in Chile with many other OT tracks from different albums. This is also probably one of the best recordings in their whole discography. I'm curious to hear the 180 grams LP.

@tubellarbells

"Exclusivo de FUTURO, 88.9, la mùsica de la inmensa mayoria" wasn't it?

This one were programmed about the 90's at FUTURO radio station... great old flash back!!!

Greetings from CHILE.

@tubellarbells : ))



[ndlaxball2]

hmmm i wonder if these artists do acid

[PennyDreadful1]

@ndlaxball2 Would almost be ironic if they didnt....

[tubellarbells]

@ndlaxball2 Guess they probably must have at some point in time, nevertheless I don't believe all psychedelic music or space-rock requires musicians to be stoned.

[filanth]

best band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hakon275]

Soaring to unknown heights,

need that from time to time,

Arborescence is the ticket for the ride.

[tomstickland]

Best track on the album IMO.

[markusmala]

Super title, i love it, it keeps his motion all along, but this is just the right speed, and the washes and swirls are wonderful. Ozric still.

[kasabian8888]

THANKYOU for uploading this track. I heard this years ago on a mates album and never did manage to get my own copy! Gettting straight onto amazon now :-D

[aodkijghtnemmifhjdjj]

why does the title of this song crack me up? it gives me the giggles... like i'm stoned... but i'm not... ??

[jamfen]

sooperb simply sooperd

[RandyLahey100]

Fantastic,Awesome Superb,i could go on..

[scallyhunter]

true. to 'get them', i think you need to be of a certain nature. if you are a jock who likes unintelligent women, beer and football, then this is just weird... but, to us enlightened people out there, it is utter bliss!

:)

[hamjamnspamalot]

@scallyhunter very true that!

[jimbalaya99]

took 5 grams of mushies last nigh and listened to this....PERFECT shroomin' tune.

[alekhine05]

maybe the best song of their entire career

[stuartsainz]

coincido con siehepam fue de los mejores conciertos que m he aventado en mexico

[larkydozer]

It really doesn't sound anything like it, but this always reminded me of "The Weapon" by Rush, off of their "Signals" album.

[scat4u]

both great. if rush ever had another opening group again, it should be ozric!

[larkydozer]

@scat4u

Oh, wouldn't that be a gas!

[SeaWasp]

If anything Rush should open for the Ozrics!

[scallyhunter]

since the ozrics left for USA, i would imagine that they would become a lot bigger.

maybe the reason for kicking jumping john out was that ed wanted people to take the band more seriously?

to me, tho, jumping john was an essential member of the ozrics. i aint seen em for about 5 years, but the videos i have seen without john seem rather lacklustre.

Nicely said, Bolshyblue.

This is a masterpiece, as is "Become The Other". The perfect mix of what you expect and what you couldn't imagine until they played it... IMNO these 2 are the strongest of their output.

If you like this, check out The Mermen's "Food For Other Fish" and/or Jai Uttal and the Pagan Love Orchestra's "Monkey". When this came out, KFJC played them all, and the Buzzcocks and George Clinton, and King Missile... All Hail Ann Arbor, 6 to 10am, on KFJC!

[opiummother]

they existed in early 80s, i loved grunge and i loved the ozrics...totally tripped me out and ed wynn is so smoothe as ahuman being and musician;)

[0ua8]

Regardless of short term musical trends this is a Helluva track.I'd be chuffed if created something of this calibre.Ed joie merv top ,top class muso's.Don't stereotype them,they are savy,can't do this if you don't know what your doing..

[ManOfZinc]

zomg bird!

[drpapa26]

Fantastic tune... fantastic album...fantastic band.

[steamcamel]

@ 3:24:  masterful

[CyconautiX]

At their latest show they were selling around five mint copies of this album on vinyl..shame I was broke..

[rayjr62]

GreatBand, Great music, Right Vibe, Wrong Time.

Had Ozric existed in the early to mid 70s (when I was in jr. high school) instead of now, not only would they have been multi-platinum superstars, but I would have totally been into their music like I was with say, UFO (and like the way most 15-year old kids are when they listen to a band they love)

[azidabu]

I think they existed in the mid 80s to present.

The very 1st album came out 1984-85 called erpsongs as far as I know.

[countdumas]

Melting Euphoria is a band that i saw in San francisco, CALIFORNIA, about 1998 that opened for Ozric Tentacles and let me tell you sugar dem muthas was good you mutha. But seriously even though I am your age I can assist you and other muthas in finding very delicious 'and nutricious holistic bands. Gong, Mother Gong, Jade Warrior, Steve Tibbetts, Eat Static, System 7, Magma, Patrick Bernard, Praxis, Aphrodities Child, Kazumi Watanabe, Larry Corryell, Lost At Last, Michael Tsarion, Leo Zagami. OM

[larkydozer]

Steve Tibbets is the bomb!

[rayjr62]

Again, to clarify- No disrespect meant to the band or their followers, but when this LP came out, the world was more or less off listening to Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Grunge Rock was king and this type of music wasn't that popular. There were hardcore fans, no doubt, but most people I knew didn't have a clue who they were.

[azidabu]

it all depends...in electronica world where people like techno music, etc,...the ozric's are some what popular, same with space rock too.

But on average every day people their not popular.

Ozric Tentacles are a very good band...I don't care if its popular or not...I think most music thats in today are trash, like nickel back, linkin park, etc...

[double531]

@CyconautiX ...try and buy the original vinyl off ebay or somewhere else 2nd hand.The new vinyl re-issues,sound as flat as a pancake mate.

[double531]

@double531 ....oops sorry,a year ago? Probably bought it by now?

[tubellarbells]

@double531 Oh !...good info !...I was about to try the 180 grams LP. Thanks.

[ethelwynn]

Inexplicable cure. This masterpiece tear out many primordials we have left behind and turn it upside down. A huge source of encrypted information. I love it !

[Bolshyblue]

If all music was as good as this the world would be a happier place.

[CyconautiX]

True that.

[Dethlicon]

I love this song so much.

[satchfan9491]

[Omusubi1979]
