Ozric Tentacles - Space For The Earth (2020, Kscope) FULL ALBUM
The newest Ozric Tentacles album, and I honestly didn't know how TF they could top their boundless hypnotic sonic engineering masterpiece... *Technicians of the Sacred* But if they ain't topped it, they equaled it. This band is truly historical, they've been around almost as long as Iron Maiden...except they get better not cringe-makingly worse. Still full of creativity and talent. As as timeless as 1991 classic "Strangetude" (which I uploaded the other day before this to show you Ozric's musical evolution...).
Ed's philosophy: "There's no excuse for cutting edge music to not push cutting edge studio tech to the limit." Couldn't agree more...
Tracklist: Stripey Clouds 6:37 Blooperdome 5:34 Humboldt Currant 8:58 Popscape 4:51 Climbing Plants 7:05 Space For The Earth 7:36 Harmonic Steps
Classic anthem by Bruno Sanchioni, ⅓ of B.B.E ("7 Days and 1 Week"... which you can very easily tell if you play the 2 back2back)& Giuseppe Chierchia, a guy better known for that much sampled disco tune (the one in "Getting Jiggy With it" and "Don't call me Baby"... Ring a bell? Don't ask how I know that ... just... don't ok? ???).
Classed as *"the first trance tune ever made",* which it pretty much is, from way back in 1990. It sounded great then; great in 1992 when Jam & Spoon 's "Watch out for Stella" remix updated for the millions of new ravers (which I included because many ravers aren't aware that's not the original version), it's been great all the times it's been remixed, whether the old skool or the new versions (the only thing out of sync is the description of THIS Particular "age".
More "the age that needs love".
tracks:
Age of Love
1. Jam & Spoon Watch Out For Stella Mix
2. Sign of the Times remix.
3. OPM remix
4. Boeng remix
Mark Skelton (no relation to Les...so they claim haha!) a more technical DJ. I'm officially on a bittersweet Niche Nostalgia-fest...And it's led me to this gem of a tune I've been searching for at about 48:00 I only heard it 3 times in my life 1996-2000, whenever I asked it was "IGA feeling" or more informatively "White label" by "Unknown". I apologize for the sound quality in the others, this ain't bad & the Danny Walker mix sounds great .
Perhaps the most dated sounding of the Orb's music...By no means a put down; amazingly ahead of i's time in many ways, largely thanks to the expert sound engineering of Trash, and psychologist turned psy-musician Dr.Patterson. Beloved anthem "Little Fluffy Clouds" with it's hilarious and catchy vocal sample,& uplifting vibe, is the LEAST technical tune. The rest of the album ranges between sunny reggae influenced "Perpetual Dawn", and genius experimental but bassy rhythmic dubby triphop breaks or housey beats with deep layers of mind massaging samples, natural & electronic ambience, fx & melodies. No doubt different to their early 00's stuff (the "post Trash" Orb line up & LP's like tech-house and drum 'n' bass oriented "Cydonia"), but a precise indicator of why; The Orb are among the most highly rated, respected, and influental electronic music artists, both in the UK and worldwide.
