(Review from progarchives.com)

Ozric Tentacles’ umpteenth album is yet another faithful album that the fans can buy safely as it fits the usual safety zone. Coming with a superbly drawn cartoon fantasy artwork, YumYum Tree is just what the doctor ordered if you’re in the mood for spacey twirly travels in the aural stratosphere. Their music is never offensive, often very danceable, always happy/joyous, with traces of reggae, heavenly flutes; Gong-like space twirls.

The opening track starts things off great, serving as a sort of encapsulation of the Ozric’s music in one crisp package. The styles morph and blend throughout, and the listener will doubtless find themselves being energized by Ed Wynne’s guitar only to be submerssed in an airy cloud of synth and soundscape. The title track’s composition is especially strong, sustaining its length with creative transitions and energy. “YumYum Tree” rocks, grooves, drifts, splooshes, meditates, spirals all at once, and is satisfying with everything it attempts.

Ozric fans will be immediately satisfied, and new comers will doubtless enjoy the sonic journey offered by this release.
