Out Of The Waste Land
"The FLYING CIRCUS is in town, making us stare in wonder at its spectacular combination of art and acrobatics for a second time. And the new show, "Out of the Waste Land" is even more spectacular than "Seasons", its predecessor. The voice of Michael Dorp now can unconditionally be compared to Geddy Lee's, and the band's mixture of RUSH-style hard rock and GENESIS/YES-like progressive sounds still maintains highly original while the music is flowing much smoother when compared to their debut. In addition to the wonderful atmospheres in "Into the Water", "Turn Around" and "Waste Land", its is the instrumental broadsides in the longtracks "Talk and Thought" and "Holding On" which come across most convincingly and show that FLYING CIRCUS is a band in top form - without any clichés and embarrassing moments. A walk on a tightrope which the band, a few exceptions apart, masters without any trace of difficulty." (Eclipsed Magazine)
