Listening to „Boat of Thoughts" today reminds us to what famous acts ? Not even to former leading acts of complex compositions like Genesis, Gentle Giant, Yes, King Crimson, more likely to Beggars Opera or Camel, somewhat opulent and filigree at the same time and especially interesting in the teamplay of organ, keyboards, accoustic and electric guitar. OCTOPUS had anthem-like moments but also compact, hard guitar riffs, the nearly melodic Rickenbacher-bass, wonderful Moog solo parts, symphonic Mellotron strings and choirs, long passages, sacral, playful, ¾ beat and transversal metren. With so much composed virtuosity, which not only left space for guitar and keyboard but also for bass and drums beyond the usual accompaniment part, it needed a voice which was able to accomplish the band. This was the fact with Jennifer, she was able to sing rock with anger and aggression during corresponding time-critical passages as good as she was able to sing dreamy passages with nearly fragile folktimbre. No doubt - undependent of the first appearance of this music, especially today, where the fans of neo-progrocker steadily grows, such classic songs are completely en vogue and often sought after rares in the internet.
