Love Thy Neighbour Presents Ozric Tentacles. Ozric Tentacles are regarded as one of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK’s festival scene, formed during the solstice at Stonehenge Free Festival 1983 going on to become psychedelic staples at Glastonbury and other festivals. The creative vision of multi-instrumentalist Ed Wynne, the Ozrics’ uniquely trippy soundscapes connect fans of progressive rock, psychedelia and dance music culture. In the 1980s the band built a fan base on the festival circuit and made a series of cassette releases, sold at gigs and via a fan club. Their first label release was Pungent Effulgent in 1989, which was also re-released in the early 2000s, packaged with Strangeitude. This was followed by Erpland (1990), an album dedicated to Erp, a character who appears on many of the band’s album artworks. 1991 saw the Strangeitude LP. The track “Sploosh!” was used by BMW in an advertising campaign and became the band’s only single. By 1993 + BUNKR: maximal melodic electronics from the outer orbit. Drawing inspiration from a love of electronica, ambient, melodic techno and the mysteries of the cosmos Brighton (UK) based musician/producer James Dean set about channeling these influences into his work under his BUNKR alias and, since BUNKR’s inception in 2017, he has been treading an exploratory path deftly cultivating a unique voice in electronic music. The first BUNKR release was issued by Berlin’s Love On The Rocks label, picking up fans across the globe including Tim Sweeney who featured Cloud Chaser in his best of 2017 round up on his Beats In Space radio show.
