ALBUM REVIEW
This Swedish band started under the name TP3 but in 2006 the band changed it into Soniq Circus. In September 2007 they released their eponymous debut CD that contains both early as new work (total running time at about 45 minutes).Their sound on this CD is mainly in the realm of the neo-prog with pleasant atmospheres but the music fails to keep my attention all the time. I enjoyed Bright Future (tasteful work on guitar and keyboards like the clavinet) and the dynamic songs Revolution (from dreamy and compelling to bombastic) and An Idiot (strong break with fiery guitar and lush organ and a synthesizer solo with propulsive guitar riffs). A nice and pleasant debut CD but in my opinion Soniq Circus has to make more captivating music to compete with the many good new bands. I am looking forward to a second effort. (E.Neuteboom)
