Comment: Circle of Lebanon is one of those projects being closely related to Skye Klein, the Australian avant-rocker and sound manipulator. There are up 5 pieces which take on mayhem-alike progressions filled in with glowering guitar drones and massive drum breaks which meanwhile are replaced with distorted vocal snippets, whimsical yet strained electronic arrangements. Frequently the soundscape is getting to grow beyond the borders of rock/metal borders, however, ultimately, landing in the realm of ambient/sound art/psycho-acoustic music/acousmatics. Indeed, at these moments this sound chimes like a soundtrack for a theatre performance somewhere in a dusty art house. In a nutshell, it is a tremendous stuff being one of those unsung gems waiting to be discovered sometime in the future.
