Since their first eruptions, Circle have been reinventing, expanding and refining their hypnotically avant-rock compositions into a bewitching, instantly recognizable cross-pollination of megaton riffs, kraut-inspired rhythms, surging fuzz storms, icy synth drones and ambient weirdness with the addition of incredibly acrobatic/lunatic vocals courtesy of Mr. Mikka Rättö. Not to mention the metallic NWOFHM approach of the recent years. Each new album has been a totally unique and unexpected experience. That's the beauty of Circle's music. On Prospekt, originally released in 2000, the band masters the art of hypnotism. Non stop motorik grooves, pounding, relentless, circular rhythms and spaced out jams in weird time signatures are played to the exhaustion while a late 60?s/early 70?s style organ and haunting violin add a krautified minimal quality to the mix, putting the listener into a trance-like state of mind, loosing the concept of time in front of such unstoppable force. Rättö's operatic, deranged vocals are far from being discreet, yet punctual and precise, working to add more mesmerism to the formula.It's epic. It's glorious. And, in our humble opinion, one of the absolute best records of the 00's.
