about
The anticipated second album from the NWOFHM torchbearers proves to be a sour disappointment. The nuclear barbarians are reaching for a wider audience with softer AOR influences, but they lack the skills to pull it off. They are hardly competent enough to "make it big" in a demo competition at the Toijala youth centre. Incoherent instrumentation and vocals weave layers of strangely original music that is not likely to satisfy the friends of metal, pop, rock or experimental music. Steel Mammoth has created a uniquely sincere album that challenges even the fans of the bands earlier work.
"Got me my steel leather & I'm tough enough to loose!"

I have only just discovered Circle. Its hard to describe them but I find their extremely varied back catalogue really exciting. They appear to have two personas. One live and one studio based. Live they are easier to describe. Kraut/Prog/Psych/Heavy rock is what they peddle live. Its wonderfully original whilst wearing its influences proudly. There are moments of early Amon Duul II, Judas Priest, The Grateful Dead and even Opeth. They enjoy performing hypnotic, drawn out songs with monotonous, motorik riffs. If this sounds like your thing then believe me these guys are amongst the best at what they do. Then there are their studio efforts. Whilst you get the same as their live offerings the exploration in the studio is off the charts! They have gone in every direction imaginable. If you like highly creative bands that confound you with bizarre releases just as you think you have them nailed then Circle must surely win a place in your collection! This live album is a great place to start and contains one of my fave songs so far - Rakautta al Dente. I highly recommend this band! Circle are contenders for discovery of the year. Double thumbs up!

NDM should have done the soundtrack to Blade Runner 2049. Wake up Hollywood and hire these guys!

I'm one of those who came to Circle via their extraordinary collaboration with Richard Dawson. Given the 50 or so album-length releases under their belt this seems like a brilliant and electrifying next step in to exploring their work.
