There is a school of thought that I've oft heard expressed that goes
something like "if you've heard one Ozric Tentacles album, you've heard
'em all."  Whereas I don't subscribe to that particular theory myself,
it is fair to say that the Ozrics output is pretty homogenous, on the
whole, unlike, say, Hawkwind.  So, IMHO, the sounds you are hearing from
those albums are "fairly representative."

If you want to sample more, I'd suggest, at a minimum, you pick up
_Erpland_.

Cheers,

Paul.
