2012 repress. "'Tryin' to let it go' is the theme here: yearnin' to earn it. The Octo Octa rhythm IS feeling, especially when yr feelings are hurt. From letdown to getdown, when melancholia's callin ya, Octo Octa can break through. Emotions run high, and these cuts cut through somehow. It's dance therapy -- Docta Octa is in, checking yr pulse, charging by the half hour. Feelin' blue can be electric. If yr here, now, you haven't missed a thing. For the ball drop, the balloon drop, the moments after we're sweat-soaked, covered in glitter, standing in a room full of strangers and lovers and memories all fading into fog. And the DJ played on. Turning this house into a home."

Title:	Oh Love
Label:	100% SILK
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	SILK 023EP

"100% Silk begs and pleads for all things OCTO--that eight-sided honest octagon: sweet, sad, shy, hopeful, blissful, light, lifting, longing. Going deeper, swelling higher than his first Let Me See You 12', Oh Love unifies crucial human experience with technology, sound, and rhythm in a totality of touching vision. The thesis thrill here: selling dreams that can't be followed, finding love that can't be lasting, seeking a future that can't solve your present. 'Oh Love' is honeyed with tender integrity; musings on dance history merge euphoniously with a wealthy sample bank. Octo Octa's the new search engine; he's connected and connective, the feeling fish to your computer chips. The dancefloor has been pulled out from under you, now you're free to float in the 'Oh Love' atmosphere--warm and womby, roused and roomy, a tear-jerk body-work. Poise yourself for poignancy. He's TRYING to break your heart."
