Exploding walls of psychedelic guitars, "ingenious pop compositions", motorik krautrock, melodic harmonies, intensive riffs and ecstatic vocal performances? This album does NOT contain any of the things previously mentioned!
Slow-moving abstract atmospherics, inspiring and determined wandering and a stagnant universe of winter are present on Circle's new double album MILJARD. New Wave of NWOFHWM!
The album was produced by Mika Rättö. Rocking has been traded for some quiet reading on the couch at home.
Finland's #1 thrashcore outfit are back with an album that will blow the previous three straight off the map with deadly sounds crafted by Antti Malinen from Down My Throat and superb songs that surpass all their previous work by miles. Still, no posing, no time for weak shit...
Viola leaves their geetaars and drums in the closet for this irresponsible adventure into the realms of electronic music that includes 4 new Viola-tracks, 6 fantastic remixes (Boys Of Scandinavia, Verneri Lumi, Kris Kylven...) of older material and Ilai Rämä's video for the song 'Violentia'. 45 minutes of music and a video for 8 euros? We must be kiddin'! Yet we're not.
Circle's 11th album (from 2004)! Grrreat prog/kraut jams!
"Guillotine marks one of the stranger turns in a career already dotted with absurd mood swings and radical shifts in direction. Circle’s newfound shambolic tendencies have less immediate appeal than the taut stateliness of past milestones, but that’s probably the point; time, energy and contemplation are required to penetrate Lehtisalo’s thick cloudcover of introverted perverseness."

Speedkraut from Finland. This time Circle combines the slow-paced almost ambient feels of their previous record Miljard and destroys everything by placing 3 fast paced bursts of "speedkraut" aka Circle-fied versions of Discharge-type hardcore in the middle... Go figure.
