Just based on what was posted and a little youtube digging (i.e early impressions): Neither are altogether my taste, Octopus more-so, but Octopus' skill easily outshines that of Time's Forgotten for me.  I do find that perhaps at times Octopus might benefit from a little more restraint, and with Time's Forgotten, despite some very good acoustic guitar work, it strikes me as rather amateurish (mostly from a compositional standpoint).  I prefer the jazzier Octopus to the more symph-oriented Time''s Forgotten.  Based on my rather too limited listening and too limited time to properly assimilate the music, an easy vote for Octopus from me.  Very good band.
Just a fanboy passin' through.

Octopus play some heavy sh*t and i have a couple of theirs that i do like. The other band is new to me but after some listens i have to go with the 8 legged band.

I own two Time's Forgotten's albums which are pretty cool. Octopus are also nice, but I have not been into their music actually, in spite I saw them live in the last Baja Prog Fest.
