The album cover and its concept are inspired by the 1917
October Revolution, while the sound incorporates elements of post-punk influence in the 1980s
New wave imposed by groups such as
The Cure,
Joy Division and
The Police. The band garnered some airplay with "
Ji Ji Ji" and "Ya nadie va a escuchar tu remera" and, as a result, Patricio Rey pursued a more melodic, radio friendly direction on their future albums.
Oktubre was officially released on 4 October 1986 and its presentation took place on 18 and 25 October at Paladium in front of 1200 fans. Keyboardist Andrés Teocharidis participated in both shows. Some CD bootlegs from these shows were released with Teocharidis, being his only contribution to the band due to his death in a car accident in early 1987. Hailed by both critics and fans as the band's masterwork, the album contains some of the Patricio Rey's signature songs, such as "Ji Ji Ji", "Ya nadie va a escuchar tu remera", "Fuegos de octubre" and "Motor Psico". == Cover ==
