"Space rock... and DINOSAURS!"
Ah, yet another trippy excursion into the Ozrics' twisted world of swirling synthesizers, quirky guitar intonations, ethnic influences, and one of the tightest rhythm sections around. This album captures all of the best Ozric qualities, making it one of their best. The title track totally rules, being an imaginative piece that sets a busy climb of slow, ambient soundscapes sprinkles with jagged guitar quotes, giant bass lines, and strokes of wacky synths that culminates in an explosive climax. "Feng Shui" is much the same, but concurrently very different. It spends a good eight minutes building to its exhilarating finale, which is perhaps the closest this band gets to a heavy metal riff. "Vita Voom's" middle section is one of the band's most beautiful moments, despite the heavy, thumping bass and drums at the beginning. Colorful washes of synthesizers and acoustic guitar create a sublime musical canvas. What more can be said? Ozrics rock, and this is one of their best. Apparently this music is wild on acid or whatever, though I've never tried that. I can say it's pretty killer with your senses intact, though.
