The
first (and maybe the last) Falcon record is out now. For those unaware, Falcon
is all the current line up of Circle playing normal rock, with more than a hint
of the worst of the 80s hard rock/metal scene, with the cheesy keyboards, etc..
but they can’t do it totally normal, there is always that little strange Circle
twist. I love some of the lyrics especially on Beer and Ribs, which was
released as a single last year. If you are a fan of Circle, musically you will
find this a bit disappointing, unless you can really see how much fun the band
had making a record like this. I enjoyed some of it quite a lot but you have to
think about it in a different way, that this is not really Circle, but it still
is…. Just check it out and make your
own opinion and if you dig, order the record….
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..
