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.
