Here's a nice thing I got on my pc and have absolutely no recollection of how'd it got there.. probably via soulseek some years ago, but no idea.
If you by chance aren't familiar with those who are often called Circle X, than you better start off with their formal releases (I think all is available online somewhere, if ya can't find something, ask for it).
If you are familiar, than I can assume you're a sucker for them just like I am, hence this one is a real treat.
Massive compilation of songs referred to Circle X, my guess, from varied periods, and not only "pure" Circle X tracks. Some are probably from their "inactive" period of the late 80's, perhaps some by side projects ((for instance, one is actually credited on the file to Life of Falconetti (which were Bruce Witsiepe, Michael Pullen and Ricky Feather)), other versions for released songs (1st Species sounds like early version of '92 7" Compression of The Species / Sweet Song and Machine were released as '94 studio bonus tracks for Live In Dijon '79 release of 2009 / Crash was released on VA '90 compilation St. Sebastian of The Hood), some might even be dated way back to their Dijon era (as they sound extreme noisy as they were back then, and one track's title is Dijon Infirmary).
No matter which, what or when, all track has that distinctive raw sound of Circle X, the one that sure makes them one of my own faves,
