I love Circle when they break away from their metal roots and roam the freer side of their sound. With only five tracks and none clocking in under ten minutes, you know you're in for some wicked and out of this world music. The opening The Greatest Kingdom alone makes this one a worth listening. Vocalist Mika Rättö goes into a total trance and delivers one of his most insane performances ever. In keeping with the album's far west theme, with all it's cowboys and "indjuns", Rättö seems to be doing the dance of rain here. Either that or he's trying to imitate Algerian rai performer Khaled. Things get even weirder on the hypnotic The Ghost Of The Highway. The vocals again are mind-blowing and that hypnotic background ruckus really makes them stick out. The second CD is a live performance for WFMU. Here the group is in a jazzy/krautrock mode, improvising their way through strange and barely recognizable rock formations. Weird!
