Album Notes & Community Reviews
Rooted in the German political-folk and left-wing student movements, Oktober's 'Die Pariser Commune' chronicles the historical events of the 1871 Paris Commune through progressive rock and spoken word. The arrangements combine soaring symphonic prog elements with rousing folk-rock instrumentation and passionate choral chants. It stands as a unique document of ideological commitment expressed via complex European rock structures.
