Ed Wynne has solved the mystery of time travel. As the keyboardist/guitarist/chief programmer/creative mastermind of the band Ozric Tentacles, Wynne traverses the ages through his primordial yet distinctly modern, mind-bending music. The Somerset, England, resident is a citizen of the world: his art knows no boundaries in time or space. "Recently we have been playing the four corners of the world and it seems the audiences like the combination of techno rock, strange rhythmic grooves, stomping bass line, and the quasi ancient and ethnic music," Wynne says. Wynne jokingly refers to OT’s music as "ethnological forgery", but Ozrics’ new Magna Carta release, "The Floor’s Too Far Away", is far from bogus. Recorded in Wynne’s home studio in Somerset, England, the nine-track, all-instrumental CD is a musical reflection of Wynne’s centrifugal creative vision – a vision synthesized into a spiraled, multifaceted tapestry of butt-moving, trance-inducing ethno-techno space rock. "I’ve always been interested in Eastern music." Wynne says. "But none of the scales I use are official, traditional Eastern scales. They are just snippets of what I have picked up over the years from traveling to different places and keeping my ears open."In many ways "The Floor’s Too Far Away" is a signature Ozrics record. Rife with incessant intergalactic grooves, the new record offers a satisfying, near state-altering listening experience. "We took a bit more time in coming up with the proper track listing for this," admits Wynne.
