It's probably fair to say that Gong and Steve Hillage are a more
pronounced influence on Ozric Tentacles---more so than Hawkwind.  OT
also throw in a bit more 'o the ethnic feel, too.  But, as others have
pointed out, the overall result is SPACY!

I never found an OT album I didn't like.  I've heard many people say
"heard one, heard 'em all", though.

Cheers,

Paul.
