Octopus Project

Hexadecagon, more than any previous release by The Octopus Project, feels like an album in the truest sense - not eight distinct songs but one epic suite with mood swings. The first syncopated piano riff of "Fuguefat" only hints at the intense, vacillating montage of over 40 interwoven piano tracks to later appear in "Circling." This fervor gradually subsides into a vast sonic landscape where massive subterranean tones call & respond, and a lone, mournful Theremin wanders the domain. That Theremin eventually finds companions among the colossal, soothing pulses of "Hallucinists," and the album closer "Catalog" just might be a millennia-old transmission from a distant intelligent life form.
