OFF: Tentacles of the Ozric

[J Strobridge]

One of the more interesting Ozric offshoots is a tape by Nodens Ictus
(why do I always get the feeling that this is an anagram of something?)
- very clever and rather beautiful synth/keyboard work.  Elegant music
and quite unlike the usual Ozrics sound.

And drifting further off topic yet - for those that have been
disappointed with a mellowing of the rave sound of Astralasia's recent
albums you can be reassured by Seven Pointed Star.   It's far more
energetic and powerful than any of the previous releases - at least the
first 6 tracks are.  The last two tracks are completely different.
Jazz saxaphone comes closest I think.   Strange band!

obOnTopic> anyone know if Hawkwind are doing a pre-xmas Winter Solstice
gig this year?
