One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK's festival scene, Ozric Tentacles formed during the solstice at Stonehenge Free Festival 1983, going on to become psychedelic staples at Glastonbury & other festivals. The creative vision of multi-instrumentalist Ed Wynne, the Ozrics' uniquely trippy soundscapes connect fans of progressive rock, psychedelia & dance music culture.
Initially released in 2020, 'Space For The Earth' is now repackaged into a single CD digipack edition & made available at a mid-price point - a chance to revisit this modern classic from the psych-legends. This release coincides with Ozric Tentacles' extensive European/UK tour taking place at the end of 2024.
