The instrumental is largely represented by the influences of GENESIS and YES in bits and pieces. The vocal ranges are similar to MORISSEY (THE SMITHS), PETER MURPHY (BAUHAUS), PETER HAMILL (VDGG) or even DAVID BOWIE. because this work often presents a high level of dissonance, dynamic contrast, constant changes of textures, as well as melodies and distorted harmonies. Indeed, this quartet us delivers here as in their previous album theatrical scores, cinematographic effects, and expressionist scents. It is not a question here of growl, but of omnipresent songs with very masculine aspects being transformed by deliberately crazy passages, a kind of controlled and assumed slippage, but with a little redundant side sometimes.
My first chronicle made for this group a year ago with "Voodooland" made me discover lands which I was not used to traveling, a sort of entry into a sphere where the voices contrast strongly with the proposed musical refinement. The recording is done at his home in a studio, the execution is perfectly accomplished, the acoustics invite us to privacy, and the sound delivers excellent analytical and balanced effects, the pieces are mixed at high volume for better sound reproduction, and some passages have required up to 18 tracks! The production without a label has not been criticized. ALAIN PROULX is at the origin of almost everything, songwriter, arranger, mixer. After a bootleg and two all excellent albums here has arrived "The Fruits Of The Unveil", an opus which remains in the same traces as the previous ones but with more research and maturity. Posted Wednesday, Novem| Review this album | Report (Review #2632815)ĬIRKUS is a progressive symphonic music group from Quebec from the city of Trois-Rivières in Canada. I started to write some notes while spinning this one more time but I can't do it.
GENESIS is clearly the inspiration here with the pulsating organ style, This is also all over the place with Classical, Jazz, Comedy and World textures asĭiscogs puts it in the bio. And the reason I'm hard onĭoubles is because I am into consistent albums and it seems to be a rare thing for a band not to throw in some crap This is a double disc worth well over 2 hours. No I can't see how this would work live unless you bring in a couple of more musicians. Release they are a four piece with a vocalist, 2 guitarists and a multi-instrumentalist playing keyboards, drums andīass if you can believe it. I honestly thought I had the 2017 release(haha) but no. With some new songs releasing this one in 2018. This double concept album about the battle of two dogs one evil and one good contains long epics with plenty of different atmospheres and moods to make it a 2 hours and twenty minutes journey.ĬIRKUS are a band out of Quebec who actually released "Wild Dogs" in 2017 as a bootleg then decided to re-record it You can hear influences from GENESIS and MICK OLDFIELD. The music is taking the symphonic Prog Rock 70's sound adding exotic rhythms, classical and musical comedy music. CIRKUS is also a multimedia show where music, projections, lighting, and scenery will contribute to build an experience for the senses.
#New cirkus professional
To do that they had to make a compromise on the sound quality for the music which is not the same as the one you can find in a standard professional recording studio.
This album was made with their own recording gear, the band chooses to be in a perpetual creation mode.
#New cirkus plus
This double concept album "Wild Dogs" contains old songs from that period plus more recent songs. Alain is a producer of music since the late 70's and has made some soundtrack music. Founded in Trois Rivières, Québec, Canada in 2015ĬIRKUS is Alain PROULX (bass, keys, drums, vocals) who has also written, composed and arranged the songs with the contribution of Serge DOUCET for guitar arrangements and C.LUCAS PROULX for vocal arrangements.
