In This Thrilling Episode:

The Octopus -

New Media Book Format

New format cover - Respect The O

The new Media Book edition of The Octopus is now in production.

There are 2000 of these and will replace the simple Amazon gatefold format that has served us well for the last couple of years in spreading the news.

 The new format is much more inline with

The Octopus 1.0 Special Edition

and is a 64 page media book –

that’s the format that is like the edition of Mystoria  -

so a hardback book – but CD size, so it will fit on your cd racking –

although its about 3 times as thick as a normal CD.

What’s different?

Well we had to redesign it slightly in order to fit in the whole of the text and get a flavour for the trans-infinite-ness of the whole thing -

It’s got some new artwork in it, by Hajo Mueller who worked with Steven Wilson on The Raven That Refused To Sing, and has been working with us in the long ongoing process of designing The Octopus Vinyl Edition.

Many Gateways...

What else is new is that the Octo-dings are not in this edition

and they have been replaced with the actual text from

THE BLACK NOTEBOOK.

That’s pretty special in itself, but,  like a doctor’s handwriting,

don’t expect to get it all in one go when you sit down on the toilet with it.

The Black Notebook

If you want to simply look at pictures of the band and read the lyrics to the songs

then you should put your wallet away.
