2011, As most of Manchester sleeps, three men work through the night in a giant Victorian mill building. As the dawn breaks and the city begins to stir they continue to sweat and toil in an unlikely continuance of the giant red-brick edifice's industrial past. But replacing the roar of looms, belts and flywheels they - Sel Balamir, Matt Brobin and Neil Mahony - make music with guitars, drums and bass. Sel has arrived in Manchester from London, Matt from Wales and Neil from Ireland. Together they are Amplifier and they are giving life to THE OCTOPUS. Ostensibly The Octopus is the third album by the band, but to Sel, Matt and Neil is it much more. For a start, its sixteen songs run together into a concept piece lasting just over two hours.
