    Pungent Effulgent - Ozric Tentacles

    Album Description

    Ozric Tentacles' debut studio album, Pungent Effulgent, is a seminal work that has left an indelible mark on the music world. Released in 1989 to widespread acclaim, this iconic album showcases the band's unique blend of space rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, krautrock, and acid rock.

    The album's ten tracks, including 'Dissolution (The Clouds Disperse)', 'O-I', 'Phalarn Dawn', and 'Ayurvedism', demonstrate Ozric Tentacles' mastery of improvisational techniques, honed from years of performing live. Notably, 'Dissolution' is one of the few songs in the band's discography to feature noticeable vocals, adding a new layer of depth to their sound. Meanwhile, 'Kick Muck' pays tribute to the free festivals of the 1980s, where the band cut their teeth.

    With a duration of 1 hour and 15 minutes, Pungent Effulgent is a sonic journey that will captivate fans of experimental and progressive music. Although it was the band's first official album, it was preceded by several cassette-only releases, which have become highly sought after by collectors. The album has been re-released on various formats, including vinyl and CD, with some editions featuring bonus live tracks, such as the 19-minute epic 'Ayurvedism'.

    Pungent Effulgent has stood the test of time, and its influence can still be felt today. It is a testament to Ozric Tentacles' innovative spirit and their ability to craft music that is both timeless and forward-thinking. If you're a fan of boundary-pushing rock music, then Pungent Effulgent is an essential listen.
