Your New Favorite Song.
I don't know very much about the Finnish band Circle -- I think Aquarius Records gushes over each release, but that's about all I can remember -- but I happened to have this (apparently exclusive) track on a free CD given out by The Wire called Klangbad: First Steps.
And let me tell you, it's smokin': my friend Darren and I were driving, caught in a downpour, and the music was jumping out of the car speakers. Yes, it does kind of sound like Can's awesome "Vitamin C," as it mines that same, relentless, funky motorik groove, but there's this added guitar squall and psych keyboard flourishes and an overall paranoid urgency to the track.
(The next series of uploads will depend on who wins the Movie Quiz -- there'll be more of those in the future, by the way.)
