Dive into the psychedelic origins of Ozric Tentacles with "Erpsongs," the band's debut album originally released in 1985. This seminal work, initially available only on cassette, captures the raw, unfiltered energy of the band's early days, featuring studio recordings from 1984 and 1985. "Erpsongs" is a testament to Ozric Tentacles' innovative spirit, blending elements of space rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, krautrock, and acid rock into a cohesive and captivating whole.
