KSCOPE TO GIVE OZRIC TENTACLES’ 2002 LIVE ALBUM AT THE PONGMASTERS BALL A RE-RELEASE

Originally released in 2002, as a live DVD ‘At The Pongmasters Ball’ was the first true live album to be released by Ozric Tentacles since the release in 1992 of ‘Live Underslunky’; now Kscope are set to re-release the album with updated artwork this October.

Recorded at the final gig of the bands 2002 sell out UK tour, this CD & DVD package, captures the very essence of the Ozrics live experience with a frenzied capacity crowd at London's Shepherds Bush Empire. The album includes classics from Ozric Tentacles' vast back catalogue as well as previously unreleased material & the odd "space-jam" where the band free themselves from the shackles of rehearsed material & let the music wander into unknown territory.

Ozric Tentacles first came together at the Stonehenge Free Festival in 1983 & built an audience through selling privately produced cassettes of their music. Their talent for hypnotic, mantra-like grooves found kindred spirits in the British rave scene of the late 1980’s, uniting the seemingly disparate ‘New Age’ Hippie & Rave audiences. Despite the lack of a hit single, media notoriety or the usual music business hype, much less major-label backing, their 1993 album ‘Jurassic Shift’ was a UK top twenty album & their hardcore audience is both dedicated & loyal to the band’s unique sound. At the core of the band’s music is an exploration of electronic musical textures & compulsive, danceable grooves interlaced with strong melodies & multi-ethnic musical references.

“Much more than just a homage to those hippy bands of the 70's; they are actually doing FOR REAL what those bands gave the impression of being but never really were." NME
