2008-08-01 00:31:24 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Octopus has done it again with the spectacular (albeit too brief) Coda release. This mini-CD lasts less than 24 minutes and is wrapped in a beautiful digi-pack whose credits include a massive transcription of all four pieces scores. Coda is a powerful exhibition of the pushy, explosive metallic force that Octopus incarnates with such musical...

...Octopus! A quirky and controversial album that will get the prog heads debating for hours First of all, let me say that GG is my favorite prog band, sharing that top spot with Genesis. However, I am NOT fanatical about their work and do recognize their shortcomings; and Octopus has a few The record opens with one of GG's most well known...

GENTLE GIANT - Octopus (1972) [rated 5/5 by delirium]

2008-01-21 08:05:39 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Octopus' folky and medieval bits appealing. They give a sense of freshness to Gentle Giant's music. Besides fresh or joyful Octopus can definitely be described as quirky or tricky, because GG's instrumental experimentality and complex polyfonies etc. are quite over the top, but it really doesn't matter 'cause after all that's what prog is all...

OCTOPUS (GER) - An Ocean Of Rocks (1978)

The Article has images
2008-03-30 19:01:45 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
Octopus' "An Ocean of Rocks" is rather non descript 70s keyboard oriented rock that happens to come from Germany but could easily originate in America or England. Even the vocals sound like a conventional male singer even if they end up being by one named Jennifer Hensel. I think of a naiive Rush at times. The album features plenty of driving...

...Octopus has all the ingredients that make every Gentle Giant album so exceptional. Great intriguing melodies, polyrythmic structures, time signature and tempo changes and outstanding musicianship. And on top of that some of the best composed songs ever in prog rock. What makes Gentle Giant so great in my eyes is that they are their own. They...

...OCTOPUS would be this good.Now the cover art i could do without.That's just weird. Algo Medio opens with strange sounds before heavy riffs take over.The guitar grinds it out as the bass and drums provide a ton of bottom end.A change 2 minutes in as it calms down with tribal like drumming as the guitar solos tastefully.The guitars go from...

Octopus seem to be getting even more complex, bringing ZERO HOUR to mind at times.This is an almost 24 minute EP of four songs.In the liner notes they thank CAST and TRETTIORIGA KRIGET.They also include 87 pages of instrumental music notes,so those who are brave enough can try this at home.Good luck with that. Slussen comes out of the gate hard...
