"Rarely anymore do I run across a CD that I'll listen to repeatedly and gain "singalong" familiarity with every song over a weekend. I did with this one (actually the US release with many of the same tracks). Molly Felder is absolutely brilliant on this, showing incredible diversity and just plain heartfelt sincerity in her style, especially on Goodbye September and Luckiest Girl in the World. I love the frequent unison harmonies that she and Bill Demain use throughout with great effect. The band is absolutely first rate as well, with some really contagious rhythmic grooves (Moodswinging) and stellar horn ensemble/solo work. They've also somehow recaptured a really cool late 60's/early 70's production formula on songs like Groovy Tuesday and Rome Will Fall. A great listen that will last, you gotta get this!"

Great pop melodies

":...This band is NOT from Switzerland. They are from Nashville, Tennessee. They released albums in Japan, and this album is one of those imports. (There is also a USA released simply called "Swan Dive" that gathers up most of these songs, along with a few from previous Japanese releases.Circle brims with strong melodies, great arrangements and a sense of fun. If you love good pop, get this."
