Bow Before Your Champion

Taken from "Pinball Mars" 2004

Lyrics Unknown

A small swirly track with scratching and repetition. I would imagine this song on drugs would be a total mind-f*ck.

Pinball Mars

Taken from "Pinball Mars" 2004

Lyrics Unknown

A snaky dirty rock and roll song with snarling guitar and a sexy groove that beats anything that Black Metal Motorcycle Group or whatever they are called try to accomplise. Not a black leather jacket in sight.

Raw Reaction

Take from "Pinball Mars" 2004

Lyrics Unknown

The spooky experimental world of the Circus Devils. This song begins like something from a David Lynch movie and then a piano plonks away and Bob vocals phase in and out and we get a nursery rhyme type repetition and then the band explode and their instruments are blasted all over. I don't mind Experimentation. If it didn't happen music wouldn't progress and would be boring and I can even take the odd bit of random crashing and discordant nonsense but some Circus Devils stuff leaves me a bit cold. A prefer brightness in my music, a bit of a hook, some harmony and a lot of Circus Devils stuff doesn't have this. Are these songs written or are they free form clashes and we see that lands on the plate at the end. PS There is actually a bit of proper music at the end of this 5 minute fuzzfest.

Don't Be Late

Taken from "Pinball Mars" 2004

Lyrics Unknown.

What surprises me about this Circus Devils song is how normal it is. It has the sounds of a straight forward rock song with a reasonably strong hook and Chorus. It teeters on the bring of being Oasis at times but recovers itself just in time with a sassy chuga-chuga section. Some lovely chunky riffs just save this from become a pub-rockout. Good song.

Sick Color

Taken from "Pinball Mars" 2004

Lyrics Unknown

Circus Devils have always been a strange band to me. Sometimes I love the experimental dark sound and sometimes they irritate me. This song is more straightforward rocking with some excellent production and stop-starty riffs and a classic rock vocal from Bob. This is a big sounding song that kicks ass though the concept of the Colour of Sick is something quite horrible.

Plasma

Taken from "Pinball Mars" 2004

No Lyrics.

A psycadelic instrumental piece that feels like a bridge between some of the weirder tracks on the second half of the Circus Devils "Pinball Mars" experience. Freaky Man! Not much else to say.
