Circus Mind has unleashed some funky sounds to keep the rockers stomping, the groovers hopping and the jammers jumping.
A modern day medicine show of midnight ravers, Circus Mind serves up a spicy gumbo of greasy New Orleans funk rock mixed with generous helpings of reggae roots and savory ska. Blended all together with mighty tasty tunes (with more hooks than a bait and tackle box) and simmered over a blaze of jam-fueled boogie, Circus Mind can't help but satisfy.

Captivating!
author: Laura T. Lynch of Kweevak.com
There are a lot of sounds happening on this CD. There are the traditional rock instruments such as guitars, bass, keyboards and drums in addition to horns, the organ, the fiddle and turntables. The group describes their music as "N'awlins jungle spiked with Beatle funk mixed in with rootsy reggae and ska space splat." The New Orleans inspired groove is apparent throughout this collection but there are also traces of funk, boogie, gospel and the fore mentioned styles. Their songs have lots of hooks, improvisational jams and thoughtful lyrics. The CD as a whole has a festive feel and the musicianship is center stage. 'Ground Zero' which was written in 1998 starts out with a soulful groove complete with horns, the turntable and a funky beat. The hook line is catchy and the lyrics about flirting with disaster also work for 9/11. This songs is multifaceted and powerful. 'Organ Grinder' has a hard to describe sound that is riveting with vocal blends, horns and subtle turntable accents. As the song progresses there is a fast furious jam and than a bridge change to a slower tempo. It is a spectacle of sounds and wonders. Circus Mind has created an extravaganza of songs that are fun, daring and captivating!
