Appreciation

Two studio albums were followed by two live albums. So it was time for Circuline to come back and present new songs. This is where CORE (Circuline Original Reimagined Evolving) comes in . The North American band is making some changes to its line-up for this new album that has been in the works since 2018. And, without a doubt, this record is well defined by its title and subtitle. This is the interior, the core of Circuline , clearly, its musical core – a prog rock that does not aim for virtuosic displays of galactic abilities in half-hour songs. On the contrary, it promotes a prog rock that is based on the melody and emotion of songs with a strong musical, theatrical and cinematic component. The successive dialogues between the vocalists and between all the instrumentation and harmonies that are created, carry this desire towards a greater goal than simply being technically magnificent (which it is also, let’s say!) – the goal of creating songs that touch and that involve. But always with meticulous attention to detail and, mainly, to the experimental component. And, in this aspect, C.O.R.E., shows us an evolved, mature Circuline , capable of entering both fields (song/emotion and sound exploration). In fact, as the subtitle makes clear: this is an album with originality, with imagination and that marks the evolution of the band and of a style. [88%]
