Hexadecagon is a studio album by the electronic band the Octopus Project. [5] It was released in 2010 by Peek-A-Boo Records. [6]
The Austin Chronicle called Hexadecagon "a concept album that's actually fun to indulge," writing that it "finds [the band] diving headlong into unexplored realms (the 11-minute 'Circling'), and sounding more thoughtful, less cartoonish." [7] Spin wrote: "Hexadecagon is the Tubular Bells of the 8-bit generation, and that’s a compliment." [8]
