The Ozrics' latest brokerage from beyond is another sizzling trip through time and space. The production is worth the price of admission alone. The band sounds extraordinarily sharp. Guitars are as clear as the finest crystal, synthesizers and other electronic gimcrackery eat up the spaces between both your ears and your speakers, and the drumbeats resound like thunderclaps.
The excursion begins with "Coily," a neat summation of every Tentacular move made over the course of nearly a dozen albums. Drummer Rad works up a propulsive groove that artfully morphs from jazzy fusion to searing rock to techno-funk. Ed Wynne's guitars scorch the landscape like acid rain. And, through it all, synths wheeze, whizz, and whirl, while Zia's granite-dense bass provides something of an earthly anchor. "Xingu" rattles and rolls with a decadent phraseology of rippling keyboard frills and gurgling bass, Ed's guitars rising to the top of the swaggering rhythms like molten lava. But the highlight has to be "Spiralmind," 11-plus minutes of interstellar bliss, as percussion fillips sparkle like chromium nebula, gaseous synths escape into the sanctity of star clusters, and Zia's bass sets the controls for the heart of the sun. Heaven awaits.
Ozric Tentacles: Ed Wynne (guitar, synthesizer); John (flute); Seaweed (keyboards, synthesizer); Zia (bass); Rad (drums).

Waterfall Cities
$14.29
Spirals in Hyperspace completes the movement initiated since Ozric Tentacles' comeback: the group is now the sole creature of Ed Wynne, who handles guitar, keyboards, and beat programming. Old travelers like Seaweed, John Egan, Schoo, and even Steve Hillage lend a hand on two or three cuts each, but the group has definitely moved from a fierce live unit to a more clinical studio project -- and it can be heard on this album. The sleek production doesn't hide a high level of predictability and a certain coldness in the execution. Still, Spirals in Hyperspace is a good late-vintage Ozric opus. In fact, anyone would refute all of the above upon listening to the hard-driving ...

| | Ozric Tentacles Floor's Too Far Away CD (2006)
Waterfall Cities
$15.05
When asked where to start in the Ozric Tentacles intimidating discography, it's safe to suggest a couple of key albums (Erpland, for instance) and their current release, Spirals in Hyperspace You might have to make an exception for The Floor's Too Far Away, though. Without getting downright bad, the follow-up to Spirals gets too generic in some places, and too Eat Static in others. The biggest offenders are "Jellylips" and "Splat!," two dancefloor-ready, thumping techno tracks that seem to have chosen the wrong ...

| | Rubber Ultra Feel CD (2001) (Import) Japan; Japanese Version
Waterfall Cities
$38.09
This album from Harem Scarem, released under the name Rubber, features 10 tracks, including "Over The Edge" and "No Doubt."
Sonically, Rubber's sophomore record, Ultra Feel, sounds like a successful sequel to the first album. Nothing differs much from the self-titled debut, and while the songwriting is potentially a bit stronger this time, it's an album very much in the same vein as the first. However it will probably always be remembered as the album that destroyed Rubber. After Rubber's self-titled debut of radio-ready guitar pop came out, all the band bios and press indicated that they were a new band. However, Rubber was none other than Harem Scarem, a Canadian melodic rock band who had renamed themselves and refashioned their image as a bid for mainstream success. While ...
