Ozric Tentacles carries its mainly instrumental version of the Gong experience forward to new heights with 1994's Arborescence.

Instrumental prowess abounds.

Ed's guitar can best be described with two adjectives: swirling and Hillage-esque.

Drummer Merv and bassist Zia lay down odd-meter rhythms with confidence and energy, and the way they mutate some of these long grooves is one of the most entertaining things about this record.

In fact, this is one of the things that Ozric Tentacles does best in general: creating legitimate, memorable song structures out of very little purely melodic material.

On only a few occasions on Arborescence does the band provide the listener with some sort of melodic hook, with one notable occasion being the Arabic-themed melody to "Al-Salooq."

Rather, they prefer to insinuate grooves under your skin while guitars, flutes, and synthesizers dance gleefully around the rhythms.

It is ambient music crossbred with alien dance music, and it is marvelous stuff.

If any complaint can be mustered against this record or Ozric Tentacles in general, it can be said that some of the drum patterns become a bit tired and repetitive.

One tom-tom fill in particular really must have the love of Merv, because he uses it every four bars (this is admittedly hyperbole, but not as much as you might think).

The Gong nods also may be a bit too obvious for some but, to those who don't mind, the OT experience is a trippy one indeed.

Spicy, evocative, and hypnotic, Arborescence is an unpredictably joyous record.

At the conclusion of the Script for a Jester's Tear tour, Marillion decided to give drummer Mick Pointer his marching orders, replacing him momentarily with Camel's Andy Ward and later by American studio whiz Jonathan Mover.

Mover's recruitment proved to be short-lived, as Fish ushered in Steve Hackett's drummer/percussionist, Ian Mosley, whose spot-on drumming was the perfect foil for Marillion's meticulous musicianship.

With Mosley, the band set out to record its sophomore effort.

The first track to emerge from the Fugazi sessions would be "Punch and Judy" (which EMI released as the album's first single).

In hindsight, this wasn't a smart move — the single quickly vanished into chart oblivion.

As the sessions turned into a grueling and at times exasperating multi-studio juggling act (ten different studios were used for the tracking/mixing of the record), Fugazi proved to be a somewhat disjointed follow-up to the classic Script for a Jester's Tear.

Despite its superlative arrangements, the album lacked its predecessor's cohesion and focus, but all was not lost: Buried in the album's murky mix are three Marillion classics.

"Assassing," "Incubus," and especially the album's title track showcase the band at its melodramatic best.

The cryptic "Fugazi" was a highlight of the band's live set for many years to follow.

In 1998, EMI issued a remastered version of Fugazi featuring a bonus disc full of oddities and demos, including "Three Boats Down From the Candy," a 12" version of "Cinderella Search," and four of the album's original demos.

The remastered version goes a long way toward restoring the album's original sonic aesthetic (lost somewhere along the way in initial vinyl and CD pressings).

This is a normal version.
