German progressive/space-rock group formed in 1973. Line-up on The Boat Of Thoughts (1977) included Jennifer Hensel (vocals), Pit Hensel (guitar), Werner Littau (keyboards), Claus D. Kniemeyer (bass) and Frank Eule (drums).

Their debut album The Boat Of Thoughts was recorded for Sky Records and released in early 1977. The review emphasizes keyboards (Hammond, Minimoog, Mellotron) and Jennifer Hensel's English-language vocals.

German progressive/space-rock group Octopus is represented on DeBaser mainly by a 2013 review of their 1977 Sky Records debut The Boat Of Thoughts. The review praises the musicianship, keyboards (Hammond, Minimoog, Mellotron) and Jennifer Hensel's vocals. Recommended for fans of 1970s prog and space rock.

For:Fans of 1970s German progressive rock, space rock and melodic hard rock.

 All six tracks are fast works of collective virtuosity, showcasing the drumming of Frank Eule and the electric bass of Claus D.Kniemeyer; however, it is the keyboards (especially Hammond organ) of Werner Littau and the guitars (acoustic and electric) of Pit Hensel that truly stand out, not to mention the powerful vocal outbursts of Jennifer Hensel, sister of the guitarist and leader, whose performances have nothing to envy in comparison to the more well-known voices of English or American rock of the time.
