The Chill Room, 15 August 2009 00:00 PST, on killradio.org.

192k, 70 minutes.

I didn't discover them until last year, but I have been playing this band almost every week since I did. Finnish krautrock, edgy experimental ambience and fire, intelligence and adventure. The founder is a guitarist named Jussi Lehtisalo and the band formed in Pori in 1991. Here is a sampling of what makes them stand apart.

All performances by Circle: Madman I / Gravion / Berserk / B.F.F. / Suopea / Kekkone / Hamaat Linnut (Scarecrow on No Man's Land) / Hard to Realize / Viitane / Eripwre / Kultaa / Madman II

under a soft but dense ambient bed that includes Times Square 1983, Paul Schutze, Zoviet France, sex tapes, Damion Romero, Zeitkratzer.

With thanks to wfmu.org, Dave Parker, killradio, podomatic, and the internets.

All Circle material comes from the albums Tulikoira (2005), Miljard (2006), their myspace page, and from wfmu.org.

This can be difficult and challenging music, but it shines and shimmers like a perfectly cut diamond.

Podcast Summary

The Chill Room has been part of the L.A. underground radio scene for over ten years, beginning on the infamous KBLT-FM pirate station in 1997. The Chill Room is live collage, with your mind in mind.

I do the Chill Room on killradio.org, and have been here for years. Radio is an extraordinary medium in which you can actually make magic and conjure spirits without even knowing that you're doing it. Somebody got lucky, but it was an accident. The Chill Room is collage, art, literature, science and history rolled into one. (Secrets sometimes are necessary. The Chill Room is designed as a radio narcotic. It will comfortably assist you in relaxing and withdrawing into the sleep, but it can also be habit forming. Some have been known to experience withdrawal symptoms missing only one week of shows. Use with skill and abandon. Eyes wide eagle vision. Disappear like the tail of a lizard.)
