Powerful instrumental music heavily influenced by the likes of modern day King Crimson & Can, and what they end up with is a unique brand of prog meets Krautrock that’s riddled with explosive guitar riffs, rhythms and melodies. The whole steel-coated beast lumbers and drives through a set of 8 tracks that range from jazzy to prog in feel and influence, but with these genres at either end, the central factor shines through as a mix of psychedelic heady guitar jamming and full-on, furious Krautrock. It’s the sort of music that offers something new to find with each and every new airing, without becoming tiresome in the process. The end result is sixty-five minutes of music that is absolutely sure to give you a wild ride through some of the most scorching sounds that Circle have created to date.

A big seller here, simply due to the fact that a certain BBC radio station started playing tracks from this unique and unusual CD on a contemporary music programme, and their listeners have been coming to us in droves for their copies ever since! The composer is a multi-instrumentalist – something like a Russian version of Mike Oldfield, but his music is much wider based, genre-wise, and can be pretty unusual at times to say the least. Ranging from being almost classically operatic to jazzy and experimental in places, it can sound a little strange or even mildly discordant at times, but there’s a charm existing within its musical layers that many seem to find totally engaging. The album runs for almost forty-seven minutes and each of its 6 respective movements are reasonably melodic with a delicate, almost fragile feel to them at times. Hi-register female vocals feature alongside, electric guitars, keyboards, cellos, flutes, saxophones, trumpets, percussion and a host of other orchestral instruments, and together they have a curiously addictive effect on the brain. People will react to its character in different ways; in other words, you’ll either love it or hate it. Many will want to repeat the experience many times over, while others might well want to throw it in the bin after their first listen, but one thing is for sure – no one can argue with the fact that the music on this album is totally unique and unlike anything you will have ever encountered on a CD before.v
