Gentle Giant : Octopus

Gentle Giant is an awesome band from the 70's and 80's. This is one of my favorite albums: Octopus. From 1973, it has great songs like "The Advent of Panurge", "A Cry for Everyone", "The Boys in the Band", "Think of Me with Kindness" and "River".

I just realized today that it has 8 tracks, so there is one song per tentacle of jarred octopus.

What do I like about the songs? Well, they are not all in 4/4. They have really cool melodies. They have nifty parts with the instruments. It really is a fun journey listening to their albums.

Well, I hope that you are able to find a copy of this album, so you can listen to it too.
