2xCD - limited to 300 copies (digipack with 12-page booklet)
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 two ultra rare albums by Detroit-based progressive band, OCTOBER. Fueled by King Crimson and Yes, but also by the improvisational energy of Mahavishnu Orchestra and Miles Davis’ electric ensembles, October's aesthetic approach parted with formulaic approaches; they were open 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 was a deliciously eclectic combo of sonic explorers whose recorded testament crystalized into a collective quest for an eccentrically elusive eureka moment. 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 are available on CD format, remastered by the band. ("After the Fall” was originally only released in a handful of copies). The vinyl edition of October's self-titled debut comes in three colors and includes that very rare and elusive second album, “After the Fall," as a bonus CD. File under: ProgRock, Symphonic Prog, Electronics, Neo-Classical, Avant-Garde.
