Ozric Tentacles are one of the greatest anomalies in the electronic music scene. They combine crazy synth driven textures that could have easily been played by Yes keysman Tony Kaye with driving guitar licks sometimes reminiscent of 80s rock, which might make some sense given that the group has been around since 1984. Their THIRTITH album, 'The Yumyum Tree', shows just why the group has such longevity. The album blurs the line between electronica and progressive rock, fusing ambient melodys with soaring guitar leads and funky bass that will have you entranced throughout the entire piece. The group manages to maintain balance between intensity and relaxation, giving the album a sound perfect for cruising fast on the highway as well as laying in your bed looking at the ceiling for nearly an hour.
