It's
incredible how Circle can explore all those musical styles mentioned above....
namely Heavymetalfinnishfolkspacekrautrock... but still keep it firmly
Circle. There's no doubt in my mind that Circle are exploring extremes
here.... opener "Nopeuskuningas" and third track "Hautain
Takaa" both feature a repetitive vintage NWOBHM riff with vocalist
Mikko doing his best Halford (albeit sung in Circle's own nonsense language
called "Meronian") and the stoned metal riffage of "Kylän
Suurin" will shake walls. Not sure where the hell they came up with
that guitar tone, but God bless 'em for doing so. On the softer side of
things, second track "Satulinnutfeatures" is an acoustic diddy
with weird wind-tunnel effects running through the background and the
ultra-hypnotic 15 minute "Lokki" is... well... your gonna have
to hear it for yourself. Think Hawkwind running headlong into Can and
Fooz.

Before
listening to Circle's latest, I heard a segment on National Public Radio
on how a repetitive riff or beat in music could lead one to a higher state
of consciousness. If that's true, then all of us psychonauts should be
listening to Circle. Is it Heavymetalfinnishfolkspacekrautrock? Yeah.
To me at least. But first and foremost, it's trance-rock.
