I'm pretty sure anyway. Brandi said as much in her clues I've either missed or forgotten that. Can you provide a link please?

It's from the Ozrics 30 Years of Erpsongs facebook page. Brandi was chatting under the post about the Colarado Man. Therein she disclosed the following facts: - The acronym for the album is TOTS - and the anagram of the album is "His Acid Feathers Connect"
Really simple to find out using an online anagram solver. So I assume it's correct given that Brandi is being genuine.
Brandi: "We're great! Very happy and relieved to be approving all the final masters and artwork today, so everything should go off to print tomorrow morning. ... ... Ok, so after passing it by Eddie, I'm allowed to tell you it's Acronym is TOTS ... ... Anagram: His Acid Feathers Connect "

Technicians is like doing a trip, it resets your mind and shows you new ways to think about things. It makes you feel so alive and energetic, so vital and connected to the universe. It's so very deep, and will take years to fully explore, to glide in and out of the seemingly infinite dimensions and multicoloured layers. This album really is sacred, it really, really is. For me, it's *the* one. Each individual track is like, alive, sentient and breathing, each track is like an organic entity, truly with lives of their own. Something separate, or apart from traditional tracks. Someone once said that even the air is dreaming, that feels pretty apt to me. But, the fact is that even though you can for sure take each track on its own, listen in isolation to the others ones, it truly is an epic journey album, and it will transport you into dimensions of ozricness that, although you will feel on safe and familiar ground with, they are at the same time so fresh and new, so crystal clear and deeper than ever. Someone else sung: 'gate is straight, deep and wide, break on through to the other side................'. With this one, you will.
There is this one track that instantly became a part of my very being, when I first heard it. In the very most profound way possible. I know the album titles now out there, but I will resist the temptation to name this track... Only, it does what the track suggests... It allows you to break free of illusions and get back to your essential beautiful nature, and be connected.
Release date not too far off, although I don't want to get in trouble for saying something haha, and anyway I bet there will be an official announcement sometime soon.
I've been away for a while, nice being back in forum land.
Big love to yiannis, Pete w, Shaun w, Damien, Etherealise, weirdy, Eddie (ozric nutter), Philly, birdyhop, Les, shelly, Paul, my awesome friends (the Hungarian ozric family), Natan and Alex and obvs, my extended family, ed Brandi and silas (was so lovely to skype tonight)
Love Dom xx

Hi Dom, nice to see you back here. Thanks for the info but can you disclose a few more things, like duration or number of tunes? (And maybe if there's a chance of them ever doing a proper, non-festval gig here again?)

hey yiannis... it's a substantial double album, i think we might be hearing some new tracks lives in the upcoming tour, fingers crossed, i'm not sure about gig things, but i know they do love playing greece! the artwork is really incredible for this album, too... natan really captured the vibe so well!! its a weird thing to say, but, there is a whole new ozric tentacles album out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i already know how i am going to approach it... the moment i get it, and have space on my own, i am going to get stoned and listen to all the way through, hopefully in my garden. this one really benefits from a very good quality pair of headphones, i reckon that's the best way to listen to it!

or, or, it's a simple ruse and the album title actually is
His Acid Feathers Connect
That sounds so much better, imho!

I'm getting all excited now... Hope we do get a leak to have a general idea before purchasing the CD. I don't mean I might not buy the CD of course, just to quench the thirst a bit, like it happened with Paper Monkeys.

omg you won't believe how good this one is yiannis i know it is pretty much close on impossible, but when you get the album try listening to from start to finish without skipping through... thats the thing i have always found difficult, i wanna hear how each track sounds and get a flavour of each one and its hard not to resist the temptation to flick through!! i am excited too, just working out which gigs i can go to, hopefully the dutch ones and budapest and london, fingers crossed...

I don't quite remember what I usually do, I mean you only listen for the first time once, plus I've been stoned more often than not. But it doesn't tell you much if you just skip through, tunes can take quite unexpected turns, Waterfall City a case in point. I reckon I'll go for a start-to-finish listen, but it depends when the album is released and what time of day/day of the week I'll have it delivered. Now looking forward to a proper update by Brandi. Dom is only allowed to reveal so much. And a preview of the artwork maybe?

hahahahah yeah I am awful lol... the artwork is really nice, it really reminds me of erplands cover, there is an obvious erpland-esque dimension to it, but its a really different kind of land lol actually, how could it be... its still erpland, only a different part of it !! omg that's such a useless description lol its funny you mention waterfalls, i remember getting home with the cd, and being really excited, and not knowing what to expect... putting it in and turning the volume up and hearing coily for the first time... that was *so* good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i was so impatient that after it finished i skipped through cos i couldn't wait to hear each track... really silly i know, you definitely cant understand the tracks, or album, that way. anyway, i heard technicians at ozora all the way through, that was at night time and definitely under all 'the right conditions'. the album will always, in an infinite number of ways, trigger that experience for me when i hear it. like any music, and especially ozircs music, and especially ozrics music when you are flying.... its not the easiest to put into words, but all i know is this is a really, really good one i cant wait to read what other people think ps: no one told me not to say stuff, i just worry i will put my foot in it and say something i am not meant to haha trying to be careful hey yiannis, do you think you can make any gigs on this tour?

Oh man, if you Google "Ozric Tentacles Technicians of the Sacred" you get many sites that have this photo. How beautiful is this?: ...and the site it came from says there's a "Planet Roma" show on 5/5/14.

hey yiannis, do you think you can make any gigs on this tour? I don't think so, I work Monday to Saturday and I certainly can't take a few days off to travel. I can take one, that's how I managed to see the '10 and '12 gigs in Athens. I was looking forward to talking to the band and possibly you, if you came along, for the first time but as soon as I got up the nerve, the tours stopped including Greece. I've decided that if they don't come here for another couple of tours I'll have to go to a London gig.

Yiannis, did you know my mothers side is greek. her grandmother was Armenian. No, I didn't. I must say I'm not particularly fond of Greeks, though we/they tend to become more, erm, "civilised" after living abroad for some time. But let us not let this distract us from waiting for the new Ozrics album with great anticipation, shall we? Come on Brandi, a little more info please? It's been a while.

did I hear correctly that the new album will present a marked change into the trendy German "Schlager" style of music?

The new tour-poster is so lovely with all the magic light fluo green to purple colours of aurora. Is there any star sign in it? It´s not necessary to be a synesthete to know what will going on musical-wise... i´m stretched to breaking point!!
