By the time "Sliding Gliding Worlds" was released in 1988, the British based Ozrics had already garnered a huge cult following, climbing to fame with a series of self-produced cassette tapes. Borrowing the idea from the bands of the sixties that music is somehow related to the cosmic realm, the Ozrics became a kind of leader of a new British psychedelic movement. Strictly instrumental, but with a sense of humour, the band creates a kind of eastern twinged space rock, using keyboards and synthesizers, on the one hand, and flutes, xylophones and recorders on the other, for a kind of east meets west - where bands like Gong immediately jump to mind.
