Encyclopedia
Guillotine is the fourteenth album by Finnish experimental rock
band Circle
.
First released on CD in 2003 by Ektro Records
, it was re-issued in North America by Scratch Records in 2005. It was the first album to feature the four-piece line-up which has formed the core of the band on every release since, although co-producer Aki Peltonen plays guitar on Salar Opi. Although the band's trademark repetition features heavily on the longer tracks, many of the shorter pieces are abstract, probably extracts from the sort of improvised sessions depicted in Esko Lönnberg's documentary film about the band, Saturnus Reality.
