Fetch Me The Pongmaster is a great track name |

The band has gone through myriad line-up changes, with Ed Wynne (guitar, keyboards) being the only constant presence since the beginning. from wikipedia. an embarrassingly earnest word for an embarrassingly earnest tentacle. |

no, seriously though, ozrics is not psytrance or goa. what the fah, lolman? it's a different thing; it is. it's perfectly servicible microgram music from some crusty old organics that managed to draw down the sixties gently, good on drugs well enough, be nice to the tentacles like you would the manneheim steamroller man or the heads that DJ the weather channel |

a guy i know once said, "IT people are the janitors of the information age." i sort of winced, but it's one of those harsh-but-true zingers that really cuts. and i am not even an IT guy. i just know plenty, and they're nice. it's not like IT is a simple job than can be performed by a monkey. hell, most actual real janitors couldn't swing it. it's similar with this, er, head music. let's also add legendary pink dots, and of course, ground zero -- pink floyd box set. no one hates pink floyd because they came up with that shit. but you know what? i don't think i could sit down and do a pink floyd box set anywhere near as well as the tentacles. like IT, it's a bit mundane, but that doesn't mean it was easy. i don't go searching for this music for the same reason you're tearing it up. i have plenty. i have around seventy or eighty pink floyd box sets, depending on how you decide where to draw the line. i'd seen "ozric tentacles" mentioned on the internet somewhere, and the name caught my eye. it's like spotting a really strange bug. not just an ant or a beetle, but... i dunno, what is that? it's a hed bug. or an earworm. i dunno. anyways, it got buried in the mountain of things my brain downloads from the internet, but when i saw it again here, i clicked on it right away. now i will add some tentacles and we move up to eighty-five box sets. more will come this way; i'll probably notch 100 in a year. it's an organic approach the suits the genre, and it largely handles itself. i also feel compelled to split of psytrance/schpringle/infected mushroom as not the same thing as what i was just talking about, because, well, you wouldn't confuse an organic taco joint with a city kebab joint |

then, on your city kebab joints: infected mushroom is one of those bands that i like well enough, but keep quiet about it because i know what i'll get. it is the sort of music i would call functional music, because i put it on at certain times for certain things. infected mushroom is great for driving fast and coding. i wouldn't trifle with that if i were tripping. if i were, braindance is more the speed... but the tentacles or the box sets would both be equally good. it very well be because i don't have a very refined palette, there. not like electronic. infected mushroom is like an escalator. interesting for about thirty seconds, then you've about got what it's about. after that you just use it to get to the second floor. i've never heard a schpongle track, but i've seen the name a few times. i think it may be time for the head music approach to acquisition to infect other mushroom genres. |
||||||||

i found ozric tentacles interesting in a braindance sort of way. it was not an escalator at all. i feel compelled to pick a matching analogy... er... it was a glass elevator inside a skyscraper. it's interesting for 45 minutes or an hour if it's a nice day and you're bored. after that, well, it's slow, and you opt for the silver metal bullet elevator in the building's core. six months later, it's the right sort of day, and the glass elevator is fun for another 45 minutes. |

then there's the roller-coaster. favorite filler analogy of every music reviewist ever, but sometimes apropos. totem crackerjack by chris clark is pretty roller-coaster. there is a duntaduntdunt like a train going over wooden slats, ok, you're visualizing a track and you're on a minecraft cart or something. then there are bzzzrrr noises like cartoon flying cars whizzing by you. this is clearly and directly a roller-coaster. but i actually get a much bigger adrenaline rush from vsnares. totem crackerjack can't match that rush, but it has a much more interesting plot. die hard vs. the island |

lennon's walrus is the only walrus i've heard so far, except for perhaps . but that's arguably more of a platypus. my analogies are spirographing off topic, so i think i will put on some infected mushroom and code. i will enjoy it for moments here and there, but my brain will largely be inside a C compiler. my lower brainstem remains with infected mushroom, though, as i type, tab, and edit in time to the beat. |

|
|
trying to continue my success remaining sort-of on topic, here, there are plenty of these not-pink-floyd albums that should really not exist. or, at least, they should be kept inside the crusty commune they came from. then there's a tier of sewege that's even worse than that, like "celtic moods" and shit that you buy while waiting to buy your meat nuggets at megamart. |

pretty much, i clicked on the first track in the thread and i heard a DX7 or some FM thing doing interesting cyclical atonal stuff and i kept listening. as i did, at no point did someone's girlfriend (who is terrible at flute) drop into the mix (and play flute). not dull, check. standards, check. saved |

music of the gnomes with big crooked noses and tinsel hats that build cottages inside of mushrooms |

..mushrooms that spin in space around glass orbicular type fishes which emanate from the centre of the ultraverse. |
