Mar 14 2008 Cover Power

According to wide-spread rumours Circusfolk are going to include an 80's rock'n'roll classic in their Semifinal set on March 27. When questioned on the matter, Daniel Porschen had this to say: "Sometimes you just have to break the chains and let go. This is a big step for all of us, but there's nothing we wouldn't do for the people. So, rock on, brothers and sisters!"

Mar 14 2008 Circusfolk Go Zirkusvolk

The efforts of the Folk have finally been noticed by the bright minds of Central Europe. With trademark German precision Stephan Schelle of MusikZirkus-Magazin.de has done some serious progicy analysis on 'Making Faces', which some courageous Finnish die-hard-live-easy fans have already included in their Top3 of 2007 A.D. In spite of this flower power optimism, Schelle is not completely convinced with Fenno-Scandian middle-class circus entertainment.

Schelle, who recognises the fact that the Nordic Countries have slowly become perhaps the most significant source of prog and art rock, is undoubtedly impressed by the debut album. His main concern, however, is the album's inconsistency and "loss of red thread". He considers the intro track 'Submarina' to be a good example of this lack of coherence. Schelle seems to be quite satisfied with the all of the songs as separate compositions, and gives credit especially to 'Haven', which according to him has "beautiful melodies and harmonic vocals", and 'The Fool', which even gives our German friend "the goosebumps".

Circusfolk want to send their best regards to Herr Schelle and Musik-Zirkus and thank them for their detailed description. The article in full can be read at MusikZirkus-Magazin.de.
