Great purchase both for the fans and especially those who want to start exploring Ozricland. The album is one of the most accomplished of the line-up with Merv and Joie, with all their trademarks: beautiful atmospheres, great jamming and, of course, pure strangeness. Pitty it lacks the live version of Feng Shui, '...the art of walking through a forest treading on toadstools, but without breaking them...' of the ’98 edition. My ears don’t pick up anything changed from that edition sound-wise so I’m guessing it hasn’t been remastered.

You are compensated for Feng Shui on the DVD though. There's another live version of the track, together with Jurassic Shift (in bright sunlight! At Reading!!), Pteranodon (high strangeness) and a jam at the Pongmaster's Ball. As usual, they deliver the goods on stage like nobody’s business. To wrap it up there's also the official video for Vita Voom – an one-off, as it's proving so far, an interview at Glastonbury sprinkled with excerpts from both Vita Voom and Jurassic Shift, as well as some rather pointless noodling in the studio.

Quite cool packaging too, with a wider take of the original artwork and a 22-page booklet with pictures and the story of the album – though the paper is not made of hemp, as in the original version. Couldn’t resist. Worth every penny.

I heard about this album off handedly 13 years after it was released. The sound is still very much fresh and alive. It is modern fusion, in a time when modern "jazz" is generally crap, unless it is made by non-jazz musicians (with some exceptions of course). This album is like really hyped up trancey Mahavishnu Orchestra in a way (thanks to Ed Wynne's amazing command of the guitar), but perhaps with a bit more of a mystical earthy element. In addition to being able to play well, the band members put a bit more "soul" into the music than the Mahavishnu Orchestra. The rhythm section is really tight and the synthesizer makes some really far out sounds (I believe an EMS vcs3 or synthi is used, but I may be mistaken). They combine world music, jazzy progressions, sort of trancey Berlin school synth lines, early drum n bass and dub. Then there are the heavy distorted guitars in parts and the crazy 360 degree guitar effects used in some places. Although alot of riffs are sort of clichéd, the Ozrics manage to remove the clichéd feeling and explore a world that is all their own. This album will take the listener to fantastic places if the listener is willing to let it.

A sentimental favorite. This was the first Ozric's album I heard. A friend who worked in a record store passed this to me because he knew I was really into Pink Floyd at the time. He mentioned this might be something I would like.

Well...the Ozric's have pretty much been my favorite band ever since. As soon as I heard the first sounds of Sunhair coming out of my speakers I was hooked. This was unlike anything I had heard at that point. It was the perfect mixture of traditional band and electronics for me.

I still love listening to Feng Shui, Half Light in Thillai, Jurassic Shift and Pteranodon. My original copy ended up in the cd collection of a Deadhead grad student I new in college, so I recently picked up the reissue of this album on Snapper Classics. It includes and excellant live version of Feng Shui.
