I think this album is wholly overlooked in Circle's discography, probably because it's so weird sounding. But you know what? It's a goddamn masterpiece.
The first song sounds like alternate reality epic soundtrack music, with a single scream denoting danger ahead. The second song tells a story - it may not be a pleasant one, but it's absolutely mesmerizing, much like folk tales of old. Throat-shredding screams give way to a haunting bass groove.

The concept, the twisted vocals, the intricate instrumentation: utter perfection. The whole dark, viny, earthy vibe surrounding this record is immaculate. Probably among the best in both Circle and Richard's discography. patrishiou
