Tantric Obstacles (Uk)

Limited double vinyl LP pressing of this 1985 album by British instrumental psychedelic/space rock/progressive band Ozric Tentacles. Originally a cassette-only release, Tantric Obstacles has remained an elusive title to many fans and modern psych connoisseurs alike. The original cassette edition was handmade by the band and only sold at festivals and concerts. The album did see a limited CD release in 1994 when the tapes were transferred and compiled into a box set with five other cassette-only titles. The box set was withdrawn for legal reasons and both cassette and CD have remained elusive for over two decades. Formed in 1983, the band has become a cottage industry, selling over a million albums worldwide despite never having major label backing. Throughout many line-up changes over the years, guitarist Ed Wynne has remained the only original member of the band.
