4 Stars (out of 5) - "...OCTOPUS is from the band's full-blooded 'prog' heyday...be assured that there was no-one like them..."
Mojo (Publisher) - 3/01, p.59
"...Conceived as eight pieces, each reflecting the character of a member of the band....an early Giant piece could hurtle from jazz-rock to medieval madrigal, via an a cappella section, a recorder duet and a vibraphone solo....dexterously performed and likely to baffle as enthuse an audience..."
