I did have a good chuckle when I read that!

Definitely. I think at least Gentle Giant were trying to give you some kind of emotional interaction and were trying to experiment with different styles, and I'm glad you've agreed to an extent.
Although "Octopus" is my second favourite ever prog album after "Fragile", so I'm a little biased!
