I think it looks alright. I like how it mixes the space theme with some oriental themes. Not their best, but not bad.

Well, it's not that awful... It has some retro japanese touch to it. Pretty strong semiotic sign systems in it. In my opinion not even half as terrible as DT's upcoming Dramatic Turn of Events' cover, which looks as banal a child's drawing and reminds me all those horrible Supertramp albums from the 80's Cry I still suffer PTSD from hearing those, don't know how I'm going to cope with the resurrection of these visuals.

OMG! What a great news! Thanks man! Hug
A concert is a concert is a concert is a concert. An album is an album is an album is an album. Musically, both have nothing in common.

I'm afraid I need another Ozric Tentacles album in my collection like I need another Ozric Tenacles in my collection my collection my collection. Tongue  I've lost count.  I think they may be breeding or something.

I like the cover. I'm not a big fan of the name though.

I'm most definitely excited.  I heard Yum Yum Tree and instantly fell in love with them.

It's OK- better than a lot of their albums- but worse than a lot of their albums. Smile

Some good moments- nothing really jumps out.

Hm. I liked The Yum Yum Tree a lot, and many people said the same thing you said. Maybe I'll ask for it for Christmas.

There´s always YouTube darkshade, if you´d like to know how it soundsWink
I´m putting this one on my list, but quite frankly there is so much other stuff out there, that I really want - so getting a new Ozrics album is something I´ll wait a bit for - especially since nothing remarkably "new" has happened:







Still sounds pretty awesome though, but then again I love these guys!

Nothing outstanding. All samey to me. They desperately need a hiatus.

Yep, I know what you mean. I grabbed the vinyl copy, and it's decent, but it's exactly what you'd expect from an Ozrics album. Reliable, I suppose, but the band is in desperate need of a rethink perhaps?
