Dr Octagon - Dr.octagonecologyst - Vinyl

The album originally came out on The Automator's Bulk Recordings label in early 1996, with cover art by metal and punk cult hero visual artist Pushead. Pressing numbers weren't huge, but as the year went on, the buzz grew, and a slightly expanded version of the album was released on James Lavelle's London-based Mo Wax label. Then Dan took an offer from newly-formed major label DreamWorks, to re-release the album with extra tracks in mid-1997. The new domestic pressing allowed for a bigger press push, as well as the group's first and only video, for quot;Blue Flowers.quot; Beyond quot;Blue Flowers,quot; the album is chock-full of mind-bending tracks, like quot;Earth Peoplequot;; the wacked-out but sincere love ballad quot;Girl Let Me Touch Youquot;; the metal-tinged quot;I'm Destructivequot;; Q-Bert's turntable workout quot;Bear Witnessquot;; and, of course, freaky Keith skits like quot;Elective Surgeryquot; and quot;General Hospitalquot;. Dr. Octagonecologyst is one of the most unique rap records the genre has ever seen, and this is the perfect way to celebrate it - whether it's the first time you have heard this mind-expanding record or the three thousandth.
