Description
WOW! What you are bidding on is a out of print prog rock LP from OCTOPUS: THE BOAT OF THOUGHTS. This is on the original Sky label from Germany. Long out of print, no bar code.
Octopus was formed in Frankfurt in 1973 with an original lineup of bassist Claus-Dieter Kniemeyer, guitarist Pit Hensel, vocalist Jennifer Hensel, keyboardist Werner Littau and drummer Dieter Becke. By the time they went into the studio to record their first album Becke had been replaced by Frank Eule who, in turn, was replaced by Seppl Niemeyer in October, 1977.
The first two albums, "The Boat of Thoughts" (1976) and "An Ocean of Rocks" (1977) are heavy in keyboard work by Littau (organ, Moog synthesizer, and Mellotron) and are often reminiscent of Camel, albeit with a bit more of a hard edge. The band's lyrics on the first three albums are entirely in English. The first two albums are generally considered to best Octopus' best work.
