Vote for your top three Ozric albums. You can select three because its pretty hard to just nail it down to one.  I think you have to be logged in to actually vote. |

My God, it seems like a few weeks ago that Nodens Ictus Spacelines arrived in the post. It must have been nearly 10 years ago  * * * * I digress. Voted Erpland, Become The Other and Curious Corn. Interesting poll, but where's the change-mind-every-3-weeks option? |

damn, it was hard with even three... SGW, tantric and JS...should have gone with Live Underslunky, but that will get enough votes no doubt - is there no "Select All" Option?

Erpland and Jurassic Shift running neck and neck, but will Hidden Step pip them both in final furlong ?

Go on Hidden Step, Go on There is nothing.. C'mon. Hidden Step is wearing the blinkers and coming up on the inside, Floating Seeds has had a dismount, could be a stewards enquiry.

Kirk, Floating Seeds was never in the running. I believe you will find it is lame.

it's funny, the names of ozric albums do actually sound like genuine race horse names!

what's also funny, i thought there were people who enjoyed the techno side of the ozrics sound more than the organic/jam one, but only waterfall cities (which i voted for, with erpland and underslunky) from the post-joie and merv albums has any votes. i guess these people don't use this forum. 3 votes were too few in the end, i found it quite hard to decide.

I question whether Floating Seeds should ever been allowed to start in this race, as for Ozric albums go this one is a donkey.

It could have been a great record though. I'd like to hear a part two with only good remixers permitted. In fact just give the remixing jobs to Hillage and Posford and Peplar.

I think it was released just at the ass-end of the Big Beat boom (hence the likes of Space Raiders, Will White from Propellerheads, Sparky Lightbourne from Skint records), thank god we didn't have Fatboy Slim remix...Eat Static, System 7 remixes fit - plenty of good remixers out there, but which could capture the essence of Ozrics whilst giving it something a bit esoteric...?

Perhaps some of the deep techno producers like Peel Seamus, Vince Watson, Kirk Degiorgio, Russ Gabriel...a lot of their own productions have that minimal but deep sounds with the same feel as the early Ozric releases - e.g. Electronic swamp land vistas at dawn, rather than Pagan forest light at dusk

current leanings on my part + voting time equaled (=)
____________________________________________
L' U'slunky, S.G.W., + B.T.O.
I feel pretty darn content with that... although it felt like calculus + rocket science
trying to commit while inside the voting 'booth' pondering this vast + tantalizing
ballot of medicinal musical numbers laid out like mushrooms calling out for me to pick them.
I let it stew in my noggin' a couple of days just to make certain.
Seems if my tastes change can perhaps retract and maybe vote differently... that sweetens the pot as well.
Cheers! Big ups, 'tis fun like playin' a game, was indeed an entertaining idea to endeavor upon at last, yes.
Looking forward to watching the 'ticker tape' as we progress with time on this one... so on, and so forth...

So what does the poll prove?
O.T are not the band they once was? A few votes for the early stuff and the purple patch early nineties and no votes so far for anything beyond Pongmaster.
Is what I say controversial or merely the truth?
Perhaps a return to those epic tunes like those that are favourites being played live is what needs to happen.
I for one still love the Ozrics so much and I would still say that there is not a bad tune in anything recorded to albums, but
please return to the epic............lol..Ed the nutter.

i think one of the reasons why there are few votes for most of the albums is the sheer volume of the ozrics work. i love the floor's too far away, but would i vote for it above erpland, underslunky and waterfall cities (random examples, it's just what i voted for)? no.

there's still life in those old farts yet for sure.  i think i'll always be looking forward to the new ozrics album regardless of whether it matches the past or not. just because the new (any new) album does not hit me the same way as their early work doesn't mean it's not quality. what can 3 votes out of 23 (well more if you count best ofs remixes and the like) albums prove? just which ones are more popular, not which ones are the best. |

Maybe peeps like the older stuff cos they bought it at the time and have played it millions of times and haven't had the time to do that with the newer ones ?
I think the band came off age with Erpland though, it was a milestone recording where the band stopped being "people stumbling about on stage making weird noises" and became a fully professional touring and recording band. It was a band too, not just Ed and some mates.

I believe that the time in which the band was playing and recording like a 'BAND' and not like 'Ed and some mates' as kirk quoted before me, was the most musically productive and positively progressive for the ozrics.
Voted for Erpland, Strangeitude and The Hidden Step, not that I don't like nor listen to all the others, I like ‘em all (except Floatting Seeds which I don't reckon as an ozrics album) I just prefer the era between Pungent Effulgent and The Hidden Step.
Cheers!

What I said reads quite negatively in some ways but it wasn't meant to. It is obvious now that the band is Eds own thing, he has taken leadership. It was more of a band thing with that line up which really was THE classic one. In the same way that Sabbath had Ozzy in it or the Space Ritual line up of Hawkwind.
The thing is that Joie and Merv are enormously talented and they brought amazing things to the table. Not to say others won't and haven't done since though. Which is why Hidden Step got a vote from me. Best CD by anyone since oh.. 1992.
