While CIRKUS are not a very well known name from the UK early progressive scene, they are a cult act since 1973 when released their self-released album, which had become very sought-after by collectors. Two decades would pass by before Cirkus re-emerged in the arena with their second album “Two – The Global Cut” in 1994, followed by a third album “III – Pantomyme” in 1998. Cirkus weren’t quite finished yet though because they had one more final performance left in their repertoire with “IV – The Blue Star”, released 2017.
And now CirKus are back with their newest collection of songs titled “Avalanche“. Still with founding member Derek Miller (keyboards) in their ranks, CirKus 2023 brand of prog is much more modern, at places eclectic, Rock&pop – always melodic.
Not far away from the likes of Pallas, Arena, Final Conflict, Twelfth Night, some Alan Parsons, but additionally provided with ‘more rock’ flair.
Overall seen CIRKUS have launched a proper neo prog album with classic touches from the past, however very modern. Musically the twelve songs are showing them on very melodic and mostly mid-tempo paths, with nice guitar work all over plus spacey keyboards.
