  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This limited-edition CD package includes a lavish 28-page booklet, 'secret' document, and high-quality digital download card. Featuring photography by Lou Dommett Young.

    "Debut album of the year - it's absolutely stunning." The Titus Jennings Experience

    "Steve Tilling has made a compelling debut. It's a tight, dark intelligent album… albeit one plentifully and carefully decorated with accessible hooks and melodies... the depth of Tilling's wonderlust is his most progressive asset." Prog Magazine

    "Steve Tilling has given us a musical spectacle that will stand the test of time. Great songwriting combined with superb musicianship and a concept that works, CIRCU5 is a triumph." Progradar

    "CIRCU5 would unquestionably have been a huge ‘hit’ back in the day. And unlike some of Tilling’s prog contemporaries, who have a tendency to overegg – and often overcook – the pudding, it is equally palatable today. Impressive." Get Ready To Rock

about

A low-frequency hum in a fluorescent-lit room. A woman and a man stand next to five cots. Five emaciated women stare through the screen, scratching their skin. A baby shrieks. The woman looks in its eyes. "This one."

lyrics

Rows of boxes in a room storeys underground
The surrogates look through the gloom in their labour gowns
Welcome to the world so new, innocent and pure
Such wonders lie in wait for you, just behind the door

The cord was torn the moment you were born, so warm
I'll take you while you're sleeping
My son, you're coming home

Years will pass locked in this place, where the work began
No favours, friends or words of grace, following the plan
Cries of elemental fear echo as I roam the corridors that lead me here, watching you alone

The stones they throw will never break your bones
I'll hone and shape you in our keeping
My son, you're coming home

(There is a reason for the life you are given
If you let us, we will take you to an undiscovered land of freedom
There are no demons in this room you have always known as home)
