NPR music reference...Echoes

I heard these guys the other day on NPR. I think it was the show Echoes. Anyway the name of the group is Ozric Tentacles. They're out of England and got an amazing sound that some would consider the modern day Grateful Dead. Real space music here. They have made 30 albums now. 30! Think of Rusted Root members joining Pink Floyd with Jerry Garcia as a front man. Add a ton of "pops" and "swirls" in the music, extend each song to 10 minutes, build an elaborate stage with colored banners blowing in front of psychedelic lights and well... your getting the idea.
