Erkki's summary doesn't come close to capturing how incredible Circle are.
if you have even the least bit of a 'tooth' for Krautrock, Loop/H&STC,
US-variations-therein such as Jessamine and Cul de Sac, splintering noise of the
Skullflower/Whitehouse/early NWW variety, then you should check out the two
Circle albums (_Meronia_, _Zopalki_ -both on Bad Vugum) immediately. they
moodswing from heavy repetitive-riffing to chiming feathery ambience. if you can
find the 2x12" versions of the albums (or any of their 7"s), they'd probably mix
interestingly with some hard minimal techno. adventurous DJs should play around
with this idea. until last night, i never realized how well NWW/Whitehouse's
_150 Murderous Passions_ mixed with Plaid's Red Snapper remix!!
