4.0 out of 5 stars A great start., March 17, 2003

Klay Scott is now widely known as an underground industrial mastermind. The man behind Celldweller (his most recent incarnation), Argyle Park, and most famously Circle of Dust, the man has demonstrated exceptional musical ability and technical proficiency, blending pulsating electronics with brutal guitar riffs. On "Circle of Dust," the debut (originally released in '92 and remixed and rereleased in '95) shows a genius in the making. Think Ministry with heavier electronics, more techno beats, and more samples. The guitar riffs are heavy, the lyrics poignant and meaningful, and the music leaves you in a state where you're not sure whether you want to mosh and bang your head or dance 'til your feet hurt. Songs such as "Rational Lies" and "Nothing Sacred" show a more melodic side, while "Demoralize" and "Self Inflict" (off the '95 version) are more aggressive. It's hard to tell which version of the album you're getting (chances are it's the '95 version...Klay hates the original '92 version, so it's harder to find), but either way "Circle of Dust"'s first album is a treat for underground industrial fans and for fans of Klay Scott looking to see how it all started. I miss Circle of Dust, but Celldweller is here to satisfy my pallette...Klay Scott can do no wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best industrial albums ever made!!, February 15, 2007

I don't know why this item has no reviews, so I decided to give it one, even though I'm not an expert on it. I was recommended this album by a list of "best of blah bla" so I decided to try it - and was not disappointed. The drumming is the finest I've heard in a long time, and song composition/flow are excellent (rather than boring, repetitive, predictable, or pointlessly random and disjointed). The only thing I'm not particularly impressed with is the lyrics and vocals, but even still I find them decent - it could just be a matter of personal preference. If you are into any kind of industrial music, by all means give this album a listen!

When I first heard this album cassette tapes were still being made. I wore it out and hadn't owned it until now. Great industrial music with a message. I'm glad to have it back.
