HW: OFF: Ektro label news

[K Henderson]

Hi Folks...

Perhaps of interest to some of you.  Richard's comment about the Hassan I
Sahba riff is spot on (Note: It's essentially the 'bridge' riff from the "It
is writ-ten..." part, intentional or not).  I had the same immediate
reaction.  And so did Karen K.

Tavastia-club. The psych-guitar and industrial smasheroo quotient is way up.

very recommended!

Lobdell, Lars Paukstat, Michael Stoll.

ektro-008 CIRCLE: Prospekt -CD

 "Brand new release from the Finnish masters of hypnotic and trance like
kraut/spacerock. The first track (Dedofiktion) has a "Hassan I Sahba"
(Hawkwind) like riff running through it whilst the familiar Circle layered
sound is slowly added to the track, this time via violin and eerie keyboards
as well as the trademark guitar layering and some crazy vocals near the end
of the track. The prominence of keyboards on this release helps to give the
band more depth, although of all their releases "Prospekt" is the album that
relies more on the bands hypnotic style of building up a piece therby
putting the listener into a trance state. For anyone into Hawkwind, Can &
Wall of Sound music. Circle should also appeal to industrial music fans as
the band have evolved from that basis since their early days." (Cranium)

please ask the whole-sale prices.
