Not to be confused with the New York band who recorded for ESP-Disk, this Octopus is a British psych-pop band of the late 1960s, two members of which (bassist Nigel Griggs and drummer Malcolm Green) later moved to Australia to join Split Enz; 1969's RESTLESS NIGHT was their sole album, featuring the singles "The River" and "Thief."
Japanese remaster in an LP-replica sleeve adds four extra songs.
Pleasant, occasionally bracing psychedelia, heavy on the guitars and the radiant choruses, trippy and bluesy at the same time. The emphasis is on lyricism and heavy-sounding titles, which made sense at the time but seems a little vacuous today. ~ Bruce Eder
