This music
was recorded some years ago when Finnish modular synthesizer guru joined Circle
for a weekend or so in 2007… This is a cassette only release made in 100
copies. I have number 85. Sadly, I
missed out on the other Circle cassette this year. Damn.. Feel free to contact
me if you have an extra one. Circle and Verde made a CD together some years ago
as well called Tower. Anyway, what about this tape? Side A is a 23min piece
called Plante del Sud. This is a very strange track especially to start with
and the weird vocals over the drone, sometimes quite intense and baby screams
also and then the last 10 mins or so the organ is very dominant and someone
playing cymbals in the background gives it a weird feeling, like really bizarre
carnival music for deranged midget cab drivers. The track ends with some
feedback and the starting drone becomes present again as it fades out. Side B
is the 20min track entitled Plante nordiche. It starts with some synthesizer
drones and sounds and then drums come in that are played very slow with mainly
just kick drum and one cymbal repeated but the number of beats and hits is
changing. Slowly more layers of strange sound layer in over the original drones
and then some droney voices are mixed in making it very far out like something
from a strange film.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
