Album of the Year #AOTY long list, in no order for now, and:
18. CIRCU5, ‘Clockwork Tulpa’
Hard rocking song-based concept prog. Really great album, gives a kind of really satisfying old school vibe about it too.

DPRP’s Béla Alabástrom and Mr F travelled to Swindon in April to meet Steve Tilling, delve deep into the dark dystopian vision of CIRCU5. We discussed the evolution of Steve’s music, focusing on the brilliant "Clockwork Tulpa".

"Obsession took him to the edge - and almost into a cult."

In this DPRP interview, Circu5's Steve Tilling, explains how perfectionism almost derailed him and the band. Hope you enjoy the listen!

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Get in now before the orange imbecile slaps a 150% tariff on the UK for being a 'Radical Left Communist/Marxist' country or some bullsh*t like that.
