What the label says:

The members of Circle have been listening to a lot of ‘80s black metal lately (ie. Venom, Celtic Frost). As a result, the premier kraut-influenced, psychedelic band have created their most dark and twisted record to date – which, for those familiar with Circle, know is no small feat. Don’t let the term “black metal” scare you off – Katapult is here to blow your mind, and as with all things Circle, nothing is cut and dry. The constants of their sound remain – hard repetition, heavy riffs, trance inducing rhythms – aided, on this recording, by an ominous, spooky and, dare we say, straight up evil vibe. Beginning with a primitive, almost clumsy sound, Katapult is an album flush with dynamics and cold, chilly ambience.  Bassist and founding member Jussi Lehtisalo handles the majority of vocal duties with a growl that could strike fear in the heart of the most jaded music fan. Subtle changes start to occur and before you realize it, the primitiveness is replaced by grander orchestration, 70’s synthesizers and haunted choruses. You could very well be listening to the greatest, long lost dark psychedelia record, or maybe the soundtrack to some never released drug-drenched horror film. Either way, Katapult begins in a dungeon and ends in the cosmos. Try not to lose your mind along the way. Selling Points: - Circle are internationally praised and often considered the true successors to such bands as: Can, Faust and Tangerine Dream - The band will celebrate the release of Katapult with a huge US tour, playing shows with: Grails, Om and Endless Boogie - Vinyl is limited to 1,000 copies. Stock up! - No Quarter will follow the release of Katapult with a reissue of the classic Circle album Sunrise in October. Circle will be everywhere! Tracklisting:  1. Saturnus Reality 2:47 2. Torpedo Star Throne 3:40 3. Black Black Never Never Land 4:40 4. Understanding New Age 4:17 5. Tree on the Higher Mountain 3:57 6. Four Points of the Compass 4:35 7. Fish Reflection 3:34 8. Skeletor Highway 4:55 9. Snow Olympics 6:30

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
