They Are Mainly Remembered For The Three Albums Released By Sky Records Between 1976 And 1980. The Band's Sound During That Period Was Defined By The Powerful Alto Voice Of Jennifer Hensel Whose Sometimes Gritty Sound Has Been Compared To Janis Joplin And Jenny Haan. Octopus Was Formed In Frankfurt/Main In 1973 With An Original Lineup Of Bassist Claus-Dieter Kniemeyer Guitarist Pit Hensel Vocalist Jennifer Hensel Keyboardist Werner Littau And Drummer Dieter Becke. By The Time They Went Into The Studio To Record Their First Album Becke Had Been Replaced By Frank Eule Who In Turn Was Replaced By Seppl Niemeyer In October 1977. The First Two Albums "The Boat Of Thoughts" 1976 And "An Ocean Of Rocks" 1977 Are Heavy In Keyboard Work By Littau Organ Moog Synthesizer And Mellotron And Are Often Reminiscent Of Camel Albeit With A Bit More Of A Hard Edge.

In September 1978 Pit Hensel Was Replaced By Win Kowa Formerly Of Streetmark On Guitar. In June 1979 Octopus Played For 60 000 At „Rock Gegen Rechts“ In Frankfurt/Main.
