The Henglers concept: For your edification and amusements...
The concept of Henglers Circus is pretty simple: its my attempt at a kind of very early era prog band, circa 1970-71. After a long time playing electronic music, I was anxious to see if I could still compose in other styles, and the music that became Henglers Circus began to form. As four pieces were completed, I decided that it would be nice to present it as a mini gatefold album, with artwork in keeping with the era. The Lion head door decoration on on a building in my hometown of Liverpool was a massive source of inspiration in drawing the elements of the concept together, it just seemed like an iconic kind of image.
So remember folks...the album is real, the music is real, but the band Henglers Circus is not real. Well not at the moment, anyway.
About the Album...
At this point your probably wanting to know more about the actual release... Due November 13th 2014, Henglers Circus is limited to 300 copies. It will be presented in a full colour mini gatefold sleeve design created by artist Moonhouse, responsible for many covers for the EEMC label down the years
