The Ozrics are tough to define since they're sort of an amalgamation of all their big influences (Gong-esque psychedelic prog, Hawkwind's instrumental meanderings, Tangerine Dreamish New Age, Berlin School, Chicago House, etc)....but I suggested this album because I like the variety and mixes of tempos, moods, etc. Pungent Effulgent came out in 1989 but it has a lot of personality. They also put on one helluva good live show.

I'll also make the argument that they were ahead of their time in some ways in regards to what was to come in electronic music. This, for instance, was recorded in the mid 80's but sounds like something that could have come from Aphex Twin over a decade later.
