There is Nothing is the Ozrics third studio offering, originally released in 1986. There Is Nothing is a vast improvement from their previous cassettes. The performance is better, more energetic, and in your face. The ethnic influences are starting to surface here, but it would be more obvious when John Egan would join the band after There Is Nothing was released. Even the production has quite improved (try listening to Erpsongs, their first cassette, and you'll notice the production is a little messed up in places, and the band did not feel totally confident, that's why it was so hit and miss, that's not such a problem with There is Nothing). The synth sound is better as well, no more just Moog-like solos and VCS-3 like bubbles, there is simply more synths overall, letting Joie Hinton expand more (probably because the other keyboardist, Tom Brooks left, although some sources say he was still there on There Is Nothing). "The Sacred Turf" opens the album and is actually very typical Ozrics, and in fact when people say all Ozric albums are the same (which I'll have to disagree there), these is one song they can point to. There's also an original version of "O-I" that was re-recorded for Pungent Effulgent, this original one is also great, as well. There Is Nothing is by far the Ozric release with the most reggae type numbers here as there are three of them, "Staring At the Moon", "Crab Nebula", and "Kola B'Pep". Plus there's an original version of "Eternal Wheel" which isn't as good as the better known version on Erpland. In fact the original is almost completely unrecognizable, as there's hardly any guitar and it extremely drum machine happy, while the Erpland version succeeds because of actual drums and guitar. There Is Nothing also marks the final album which drummer Tig (Nick van Gelder) played on. He left because of disinterest and several years later (1992-1994) played with Jamiroquai. The way the Ozrics was improving album after album during the cassette era, it's little wonder before the 1980s ended, they were finally able to record for an actual label.
