Once you get past the inherent weirdness (with or without the aid of some mushrooms), there�s some good stuff amidst Circulus� merry jingle jangle. Bascially, if ye crave a mug of mead or wish to dance a jig at the Solstice Faire, Circulus is the band for you. It�s rock by way of �Greensleeves.� This is some out there stuff, almost epically strange.

See, while the lyrical content here - fairies, scarecrows, the celebration of passing season and nature - might be typical folkish fare, Circulus' combining of trilling recorders, traditional instrumentation, the use of both percussion and modern drum kit, guitar noise and perhaps a hint of electronics, makes this music feel timeless.

It's a lot like Jethro Tull and music you would hear at a renaissance festival. Very good stuff.
