In
continuation of our deep-dive into the diamond vaults of US Prog, it is with
great pleasure that we bring you the first reissue of the 2 ultra rare albums
by the Detroit-based OCTOBER. This is a
deliciously eclectic combo of sonic explorers whose recorded testament consists
of a string of pebbles that crystalized in a collectively interminable quest
for that eccentrically elusive eureka moment.
Fueled by King Crimson and Yes, but also by the improvisational energy
of Mahavishnu Orchestra and Miles Davis’ electric ensembles, their aesthetic approach
eloquently transcends formulaic silos while opening up to film and classical
composition, with notable inspiration drawn from film composer Bernard Herrmann
and avant-garde figures like Karlheinz Stockhausen and Igor Stravinsky, as well
as early synthesizer innovators like Wendy Carlos and Brian Eno. The band’s
name was carefully chosen to underscore the highly evocative mood-states
generated by their music, a sense of autumnal melancholy and subtle darkness
that balances beauty with unease, inspired by associations with Halloween and
seasonal transition. This is the first time that both albums recorded by
October, with After the Fall having been originally released in a handful of
copies, are available on CD format, remastered by the band. The vinyl edition
of their self-titled debut comes in 3 colors and includes the 2nd
album as bonus cd, along with a 2-page insert including the band’s official bio
and rare pictures.
