THE YUMYUM TREE

The YumYum Tree is very reminiscent of _Waterfall Cities_. Could very well be _Waterfall Cities Part II_, although it does harken back to the '80s version of the Ozrics with a hint of Ozric electronic music offshoot Eat Static. Tracks 4 and 5 known as OOLONG OOLONG and YumYum Tree flow nicely into one another making this an Ozric suite. Nothing groundbreaking here, but consistent as always. I don't think I've ever given the Ozrics less than a 4 star rating. ODDWEIRD is another barnburner harkening back to Strangeitude. Plant Music and Nakaru are fairly boring tracks and best served as nature recordings or new age fluff. But, this is the Ozrics, eh! They need something to set up the final killer track _San Pedro_. A great track similar to _Meander_ from 1997's Curious Corn. Great album artwork. My favourite one since _Arborescence_. 4 solid stars.
