Description/Reviews: 

Origin comprises six epics each clocking in at around 9 minutes. These prolonged compositions blend epic, anticipatory prog rock structures with an undeniably mathy texture, garnished with some subtle metal sensibility. I feel that Origin showcases two very different musical approaches made by Oceanic. The title track begins with groovy fusion, moves into upbeat prog-rock reminiscent of Pink Floyd and Soft Machine, and then slows to a folky indie finish, allowing the metal to cool. This is one approach: to wander seamlessly across multiples genres and pick the best fruits to compile the story. Make no mistake, Origin is by no means a scrapbook. For the second approach is to follow a very particular blueprint and build a musical monument with such power and vitality that pounding one’s clenched fist becomes an involuntary movement. Tracks such as ‘Longboat’ and ‘Defencelessness And Its Defence’ are perfect examples; they are anthemic, captivating, and showcase Oceanic’s exceptional skills as builders.
