Description: I see her. Shimmering, oscillating, becoming a body with a smiling face. She rises, every contour glowing, her presence bright over the low-frequency hum. She looks in my eyes and opens the door.

"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

I see her. Shimmering, oscillating, becoming a body with a smiling face. She rises, every contour glowing, her presence bright over the low-frequency hum. She looks in my eyes and opens the door.

lyrics

How my life is changing through all I lost and won, all my work is done
In the final stages of who is right or wrong, all my work is done
I'll find my way back home

Reading through the pages that change with every turn, nothing left to learn
Filling in the spaces of who I had become, back where I belong
I'll find my way back home

I tried to run away and wandered through a town where everything had burned, and weeds had grown up through the windows and the floors; and fields were filled with toys, machines and rusting cars
Then walking to the trees with autumn all around, I came into a place where branches blocked the sun

I fell into a room where shadows came to rest in corners out of sight
The light would shine on to the people gathered round who came to say goodbye but never found the time
When everyone had gone, I turned and walked away
Without a glance behind, returning to the place I'd always known

I've found my way back home

Foreign Land

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli

Boiling Fowls
by Cheeto's Magazine

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Chosen One - Ascension”

The lyrics alone are outstanding. The album doesn't "flow" as good as their latest album Amazingous, but instead offers more experiments and stays even more quirky. A track like "Teddy Bears" predates what will be A.M.A.Z.I.N.G a few years later. Really, a must-have for any fan of awesome pop/rock/exerimental stuff. Chris <(")

Acceleration Theory Part Two: Annihilation
by In Continuum

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Chosen One - Ascension”

This album creates a powerful finale to the first part with an incredible line up of stellar musicians. I was totally blown away with the addition of Michael Sadler. Parts One and Two are a concept album with a story that any Sci-Fi fan will fall in love with. Dave is an incredible musician and creates powerful projects with the very best musicians. This album is very highly recommended and best when heard all the way through with Part One for the full story and effect. bradkesner
