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

Medicine is one of the most hauntingly beautiful albums I've ever had to privilege to hear. It helped me get more in touch with my own self, spirituality and nature. It certainly lives up to its name. The flutes, drumming and percussion are just wonderful. This is a great album to let play all the way through. pimblycharles
