1049.0. "Tetancle, Ozric" by STRATA::KLO (don't get me wrong) Fri Dec 16 1994 18:36

    Have anyone heard of this group name Ozric Tetancle?
    I only saw half of their video in tv, seen like they are prety good.
    Worth buying their cd?

1049.1Yawn... at least for meDREGS::BLICKSTEINdbFri Dec 16 1994 19:3028
    I was handed a cassette single of theirs at a music trade show in
    Boston this year.  It had one song, "Sploosh" from their last album
    and a song whose title I don't recall from their upcoming album.
    
    By coincidence, I also happened to read a review of their album in
    Keyboard magazine.
    
    > Worth buying their CD?
    
    Always a difficult question cause it depends on what you like of
    course.
    
    Keyboard gave them a lukewarm review as I recall.
    
    My review: It's very "techno" instrumentals.   They lack almost all of
    the elements that draw me in.   They tend to have pretty repetitive
    riffs and almost drum-machine like patterns and the music is very
    static.  It doesn't have many changes in it and to me, it gets
    boring real fast.
    
    On the positive side, they do have some create some interesting
    textures and synth sounds.
    
    Me... I'd past, but if your someone who, for example, likes stuff like
    Kraftwerk or Tangerine Dream, you might like this.

    I think their last album cover was manufactured out of hemp (marijuana)
    if I remember correctly.
    
    I remember seeing them a few years back when they weren`t as well 
    known at an all nighter with various other bands. The thick smoke of
    dope was heavy in the air all night,and in between bands were Cheeg
    and Chong films. I`m suprised the place wasn`t raided.
    
    Were they any good? Er,beyond me i`m afraid.

    Well, I guess given this new information I would add one thing to my
    review:  it probably is indeed GREAT "music to get stoned by".
