This is really an amazing album. It's hard to believe that (for the most part) 2 musicians can at times sound like King Crimson, and others like Steely Dan, Queen, or even 3 Dog Night. 05Ric is a revelation, especially his voice...very Fagen-like. The drumming is spectacular without pretension, and the 'extended-range bass' is a marvel.
For those with surround in their vehicles especially, this is a must purchase.
And if there were a poll it would get a 10 from me. In fact, my humble opinion is that Circles deserves front-page treatment more than Rhino/Aretha. New DVD-A of superb musicians mixed aggressively? Wow. Thanks to all involved, and K-Scope too!
