Telescope (Circle album)
Encyclopedia
Telescope is the twenty-ninth album by Finnish experimental rock
band Circle
.
It was recorded live at Cairo, Würzburg
, Germany
on 12th June 2003. Unusually for a Circle live album, it was not released immediately, but finally saw the light of day in a 2007 double CD edition from Sunhair. It is the longest album that Circle have released to date, though it only contains six tracks, all long, improvised pieces similar to those released in the on-going series of limited edition vinyl-only live releases. At 33 minutes, Kaarre is the longest continuous track Circle have ever released, although Diamond from 2004's Mountain
, split over two sides of vinyl, is technically a longer piece.
