Crack in the Cosmic Egg:
Formed in 1973 by Pit Hensel and Claus Kniemeyer in Frankfurt. With one foot set firmly in the early-1970's Octopus drew on new technology to present a very polished brand of heavy progressive rock. Apparently they financed the recording of their debut themselves, hawked it around as a demo before Sky took it up for release a year later.
With a female lead vocalist they often come across a bit like Curved Air (but without the classical edge) on both THE BOAT OF THOUGHTS and AN OCEAN OF ROCKS, with good chunky rhythmic structures, plenty of instrumentals and nice synthesized arrangements. Shamefully their third, RUBBER ANGEL, saw them betray their public, presenting a funky styled pop-rock with no redeeming merits. The fourth I've never heard, and don't think I want to!
