Circles

I know this town (which has been covered by Bette Midler) is a song about Cheryl's hometown and the memories it holds. Northern girl is about being homesick for the south. Aces (one of several songs about love's problems) became the title track of a Suzy Bogguss album after Suzy covered the song.

Cheryl's music is hard to classify - it generally leans towards folk, but there are country and pop influences in there too. Maybe this is why Cheryl has not been more successful - we live an era where (unfortunately) people are expected to specialize. I've never worried about how popular a singer is, only about how good they are. Cheryl has carved her own musical niche - there's nobody else quite like her. And this is possibly her best album.

The world is still a "B" movie.......2007-04-20

WOW!!!! I am VERY happy to have this on CD! It really is a great album. I thought Bob was an excellent song writer from his earlier work, but this album just solidifies his talent. It is a very sad album. His first 2 albums (Don't be concerned & Photographes and feelings) were on the sad side, but there was a sense of hope. Since there were circles....Is boarder line angry at times. You really feel what his state of mind was at that point while listening to it, which is a great example of Bob's talent. This album reminds me of John Phillips' Wolf King of LA album. Not the sound, but the tone and the mood. It seems like people had high hopes for things in the 60's and by the 70's all of the good intentions and high spirits were just gone. Or maybe the rock & roll lifestyle just caught up to everyone & everyone burnt out. I don't know, I wasn't there but I am glad that the music was.

Great to have!.......2007-04-10

I loved this when it was new, and love it just as much now! Great to have it on my IPod!

bigfan.......2007-03-27

It's great to finally have this classic, essential, early 70's Bob Lind recording on CD. This release is like a fine wine in that it get's better with each listening. Highly recommend!

Coolest yet!!.......2007-01-30

There's a certain sound in a young man's voice that just comes out effortlessly when he must feel he's on top of the world-and understands it all completely. "Since There Were Circles" on RPM Records in the UK is one of those magical records for me. The confidence from Bob's vocal delivery just leaps off this disc, with all his different twists and turns from his earlier also-wonderful discs. He's playing with his brightness and tone a lot-which is great new stuff to me--and I've never heard his delivery be so relaxed and easy sounding-like silk. I would place this record up next to Elvis Costello's "Imperial Bedroom" as far as how it strikes me as I listen to it-like the artist is there to serve no one but himself-which is the way it should be-(at least according to me!) This record also has such a cool, dry recording sound-very 70's and "in your face". Even the strings and horns (wonderful arrangements!) are nice and dry-like a Don Dixon approach. Bob is also completely unconcerned about the usual abab cdcd rhyme scheme in 99% of all recorded music. He does rhyme-but only....when he wants to. He serves no master. This is definitely the "coolest" record of Bob's-to date-and I personally know there is more to come. I've heard it....

Did I mention the packaging is great too? A nice big fold-out with lots of interesting liners and comments from Bob. Also-the bonus cuts are all top shelf. No filler, whatsoever. Great pictures too! It has the very best version of "San Francisco Woman" I've heard yet.

Bob is no one-hit wonder-he's all over the map, if you ask me.

A Great CD.......2007-01-09

This CD is terrific. It contains truly great lyrics - as do all Bob Lind's songs - and the musicians and arrangements are excellent. The content reflects a life less simple than those he sang about on his first two albums. You may not envy the storyteller, but you sure do envy the storytelling.

happiness takes place in small piano tunes.......2001-07-24

these short piano pieces are simple, but absolutely not boring. gurdjieff and de hartmann wrote some of the most thoughtful and sincere music you'll ever hear. I found this CD over a year ago and it's one I return to over and over again.

Cacaphonic Harmonious.......2001-07-15

Truly an exposition of beautiful "objective" listening. This music will not put you to sleep. Transitions are abrupt and engaging throughout the score's entirity. I play the music whenever I find myself searching for something to do or am bored. This music will consume all negativity and poke the listner to begin a stirring sensation in their own mentation. The music is not sophisticated or eligant by no means, but has a way about it which will intrige one to listen again and again.

A Perfect Pairing?.......2007-04-03

It is interesting that the reviews that have appeared here speak only of Nick Rhodes' contribution to The Devils. Perhaps in the US, listeners are less familiar with Stephen Duffy, who has come full circle (if not Dark Circle!) in his collaboration with Nick. Stephen, some of you may remember, was a founding member of Duran Duran. So I am personally very thrilled when he teamed up with Nick -- creating an Eighties revisited of sort and yet not quite. It is reported that both musicians looked into the early Duran Duran demos for inspiration but the result is, I am glad to say, very contemporary. I don't know why this album is considered experimental for some of you. The hummable tunes are there, the infectious hooks too, the almost-danceable baselines... What's striking is that Stephen's inimitable style is immediately evident not just in his vocal styling but also in the arrangement as well as the spirited tunes, which reminds me somewhat of the later albums of The Lilac Time (particularly Aztec Moon, Lost Decade and Barbarellas), only less acoustic, perhaps. In fact, the female backing vocals are reminiscent of his "Tin Tin" days. I wish (and pray) there will be a follow-up album. We're only tasting the Icing On The Cake.

Dark Circles - The Devils.......2005-08-02

Fantastic cd. Very deep in parts which is why i love it. I think my fave song is Hawks don't Share.......love it.

A must buy if you are a Nick Rhodes fan.....his work in this is fantastic.

A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT- Dark Circles.......2005-04-30

I was really looking forward to this cd, especially since I am a huge Duran Duran fan, and have tremendous respect for Nick and his contributions to modern music....if you think about it, Duran Duran (with Nick's incredible synth skills and melodies) have shaped the soundtrack of the past 20 years like few other bands have......can you imagine a world without "Rio", "Hungry Like A Wolf", "Planet Earth", etc.???? I think not...and without Nick and Duran Duran MTV and "Friday Night Videos" would have been pathetic.

Anyhow, back to Devils and their album Dark Circles......

I found it to be a huge disappointment. Very boring. Too experimental. Not even fun to listen the first time. I expected it to be at least interesting, after all, Duran Duran's latest album is truly incredible, and continues to demonstrate all of the reasons why Nick and Duran Duran are among the top bands in the world and in history.

I know this side project was not meant to resemble Duran, but I was hoping for so much more.......damn.

Dark Electro Lounge, NOT Duran Duran............2004-04-15

Wow. This album was nothing like what I had expected, and that is all the better. Always loved Duran Duran and Nick Rhodes' production side projects (not to mention Duffy's work), so having a chance to hear these two together was an exciting prospect (did I mention Duffy was Duran Duran's lead singer before Simon?)

This is a dark and mellow album, using mimimalistic electronic beats and synths, with hypnotic results. Some of the moodier songs remind me of Joy Division, Shriekback or Donnie Darko, while the upbeat songs remind me of "Welcome To The Monkeyhouse" by The Dandy Warhols (which Rhodes produced around the same time as this album).

Duffy's voice is brilliant, in a David Bowie / Ian McCulloch kind of way (don't look for the sounds of "Kiss Me" here) especially on tracks like "Newhaven-Dieppe" and "Dark Circles"

Album Description

Inspired by the Celtic circles of ancient Scotland, Bonnie paints a musical picture through time, joining the heavens and earth to the cycles of everyday life. Performed on Scottish fiddle with gold medal piper Eric Rigler on the Great Highland bagpipe, Scottish smallpipes and uilleann pipes. Eric did all the Bagpipe music on Braveheart and Titantic! Also accompanied by guitar, Celtic harp, viola da gamba, hammered dulcimer, bass and bodhran. Includes: North Highland tunes from The Patrick McDonald Collection, 1784, pipe marches, strathspeys, jigs and reels, laments and traditional favorites: Flo'ers o' The Forest, Gillie Calum and Prince Charlie's Farewell to Scotland.Praised by the Washington Post who says:"Time passes swiftly here, but also soulfully, elegantly and intelligently as Rideout's instrumental flair and emotional sensitivity on both fiddle and viola are consistently enhanced by her impressive scholarship. In exploring and celebrating her Scottish heritage, she unearths and unites a marvelous collection of ancient airs, reels, strathspeys and tales, adds a couple of her own tradition-steeped pieces, then arranges them all with a rare combination of thematic logic and orchestral grace."

Customer Reviews:

Incredible Fiddle Playing.......2003-06-21

Finest Celtic fiddle playing I've ever heard with a nice dose of bagpipes to boot! Incredibly relaxing.

One Grand Scotch-Irish Music CD--BRILLIANT!.......2003-04-01

Bonnie Rideout's Celtic Circles is fiery and exuberant. With being the Three-time U.S. Scottish Fiddle Champion, Rideout is a model player in the traditional music circle. She follows closely along side of the finest fiddler such as Natalie MacMaster and Liz Carroll of Cherish the Ladies.

Rideout is on another U.S. tour in 2003 with Hesperus. They will be collaborating with the 'Celtic Roots' program. Taken from the early sources of 17th &18th century Scot-Irish music. The musicians play an ensemble of fiddles, whistles, hammer dulcimer, viola, recorder and lute. While Rideout's other albums are excellent this is exceptionally good. Don't forget to listen to Bonnie Rideout's 'Scottish Christmas.' It's absolutley stunning!

SPECTACULAR!!!!.......2002-10-10

This is a must have for those who enjoy a raucus session of celtic tunes. With endearing tunes and enchanting composition, I can recommend this with great enthusiasm~! Although I purchased this for the fiddling, the pipes are spectacular and the arrangements are memorable. BUY THIS!

Gimme Me Elbow Room.......1999-12-03

I first read about this CD in a Scottish magazine. I ordered it and gave it to my four-year-old grand daughter. It is toe-tapping, dancing music to her and my delight in her love of this CD is undescribable. Being of Scottish heritage, living in the United States, and having buried one grandmother and two uncles to the drones of a piper and, being raised by a Scottish grandmother, cannot pass down that exact experience to my granddaughter. But this CD, as she toe-dances and sings to it, is the beginning of a heritage I intend to give to her. It is a wonderful gift to any child or grandchild.

Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!.......1998-07-22

This CD is wonderful! I bought it several months ago because I knew of Bonnie's music through the "Scottish Christmas" CD ( a MUST HAVE, too! ) to which she contributes beautifully. On the majority of CD purchases, a few tracks are to the liking. I can honestly say that this CD doesn't disappoint in any fashion. It delivers from start to finish. I highly reccommend this CD and any music put out by the Maggie's Music label. Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!
