Circus Maximus does a great job of capturing all of the excitement of the classic movie Ben Hur while fusing it with the same game play mechanics of such racing games as EA's outstanding Road Rash series.
From the sounds of the horses, to the cries of the warriors as you attempt to impale him (or her) with your spear or trident (or other destructive device) it all comes out very clear.
Circus Maximus uses the entire controller and unless you are double jointed you may have a problem reaching and utilizing all of the buttons that the game requires.

 [No title]
This famous circus "ballet" was performed by a "corps des elephants" costumed by Norman Bel Geddes and choreographed by no less than George Balanchine, all of whom did not prevent it from being roundly despised by the musicians who had to play it.
Sound effects, whistles, slides, and snatches of classical music that punctuate every action in the center ring are also provided by the band -- the same effects that found their way into cartoons and early film comedies.
In the circus it's not enough that they be salesmen and autographers of coloring books, a status to which they have been too often relegated, and from which they are expected to earn a major part of their income.

 Records: KISS' Psycho Circus | Oct 2, 1998   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
On this, the band's 8,000th album and first studio effort since reuniting in their original incarnation, our four heroes somehow manage to both recapture the wildly original spirit of their past efforts and keep the new songs from sounding like a bunch of edited cuts from 1975.
Despite the general consistency of Psycho Circus, KISS falter slightly on "We Are One." Alarmingly corny background vocals turn what is already a tepid ballad into a summer camp sing-along with a generous portion of marijuana.
Psycho Circus still proves itself to be something perhaps better than a revelation: it's one hell of a headbanging confirmation.

 CD Review: Twilight Circus Dub Sound System Dub Plates Volume Two   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
The record jacket describes the LP as "a collection of special dubplate mixes and exclusive Twilight Circus tracks previously only available to sound systems and d.j's." There's at least 2 new tracks ("Trinity" and "Iguana") while the rest are new versions of tracks from several past albums.
These tracks feature the usual array of colorful sounds, most of which are played live by Ryan: drums and percussion, organ hits/melodies and *deep* bass lines all immersed in a swirling sea of effects and atmospheres.

After two years hard graft the album is finished and we would not be speaking out of turn if we were to say the Circus just rolled in to town.
The Prophets of Sound drive their brightly coloured cement mixer of disco out of Philadelphia, down the I80, crash through the back wall of the Paradise Garage (high fiving Larry Levan as they pass the DJ booth), pick up the Furious Five on the way out and screech to a halt outside Body and Soul.

 Twilight Circus Dub Sound System - reviews
Last years Twilight Circus - In Dub album was an amazingly well done tribute to the masters of 70s reggae dub style.
On many parts of the album it works quite well and creates a blissful and trancy head space but there are moments where the samples and the live rhythms dont quite meet up and it seems a bit disjointed.
For its simplicity I like the first Twilight Circus album better but this one has its beauty as well and for its freshness I prefer this one.

 Twilight Circus Dub Sound System - reviews
Twilight Circus Dub Sound System succeeds because of its deceptive simplicity; the music seems to be an alarmingly precise and studied recreation of the original, groundbreaking 1970s dub by progenitors King Tubby and Lee Perry.
The warm, organic textures, the unashamedly melodic basslines, the deliberately messy live instrumentation and atmposphere are completely without peer on the current scene, dominated by boundary-pushing German artists such as Pole and Rhythm and Sound, who often surgically excise reggae's soul in their clinical pursuit of post-dub experimentalism.
The next track, "Blue Motion", has a Joe Gibbs crisp Rockers edge to it with a psychedelic guitar vibe, sounding similar to Uhuru's explosive 7" dub of "Sun Is Shining" on the Channel One label released in the early 80's.

ON THE face of it the Sound Circus is a good idea for London - a medium venue where you can go and watch up and coming groups in comfort without getting chronic neckache - or getting liberally doused with beer as people try and shove past you.
If the Sound Circus took a little time to warm up John Miles took even longer.
He wasn't helped by a rather unbalanced sound system that was at an almost painful pitch if you were anywhere near each side of the stage and also managed to render the piano inaudible for most of the time.

More travel is on the itinerary as Moore recently abdicated his position in Dutch space rockers the Legendary Pink Dots after a 10-year stint, motivated by the need for a change and the desire to devote more time to the Circus.
Joining the Dots in '91 through a Skinny Puppy connection, Moore brought a rock influence to the group, playing bass, drums and guitar on their recordings while starting up TCDSS in '94 as an outlet for his dubbier tendencies.
I also have a pile of unreleased Twilight Circus dub plates that I can let rip for devastating bass-dub quakes.

 Twilight Circus Dub Sound System - reviews
Multi-instrumentalist, producer and engineer Ryan Moore is Twilight Circus Dub Sound System.Since he started in 1995 he has become known as one of the most creative and original dub wizzards in the world.The style of his latest album -Horsie- is strictly experimental, exploring new directions in dub, postrock and electronica.
Whereas 1998's Dub Plate Selection was gigantic tower of sound, drenched in Middle Eastern melodies and with nods to electronica, with Horsie, Moore, whose main gig is as a member of the Legendary Pink Dots, has turned to the conventions of pop music.
Two of these guitar augmented songs in particular, "Horsie" and "Oats" are some of the finest Twilight Circus songs to date, the latter being one of the most beautiful songs I've heard this year.

 Review - Twilight Circus Dub Sound System: Dub Plate Selection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
This album is already the sixth release of Twilight Circus Dub Sound System, the Nijmegen (The Netherlands) based dub outfit led by Canadian Ryan Moore, who was heavily influenced by dub and U.K./JA roots at the start of his career in 1981.
Recordings of Twilight Circus Dub Sound System are made almost entirely with live instrumentation and use no programming or computer sequencing - the few samples or loops are played live and "on the fly" to the multi track.
Bassist/multi-instrumentalist Moore fully succeeds in combining his reggae and dub influences - which unmistakable shine through in his dub outings - with his own inventive and fresh "dubbing" ideas leading to refreshing modern dub grooves.

Little Tempo was formed by art students in 1992 and has since evolved to become one of the most popular bands on the Tokyo club scene.
He can always be counted on to be challenging, topical, musically expansive and lyrically visionary - no small feat in a genre that sets aside old styles like ska, rock steady, roots and dub for the rest of the world to mine as it drives relentlessly forward.
With his mastery of the dancehall deejay style and powerful singing voice, he is uniquely poised among current reggae artists to be equally at ease in a ballad or a fiery reality-themed tune to mash up any dancehall session.

 NOW: Twilight Circus's Roots Riddims, Jan 17 - 23, 2002
Moore does everything on the Twilight Circus sessions himself, and despite being a fan of more contemporary club and electronic music, refuses to get out of the fantastically earthy dub that's dominated his nine records so far.
Beyond his steady stream of Twilight Circus releases -- at least one a year, plus the archival Dub Plate series of unreleased riddims -- Moore's best way to keep the music fresh is by playing live.
Considering that live dub shows are usually boring affairs featuring a bunch of studio musicians and a wizard behind the mixing desk, it's no surprise that Moore's decided to go the solo route and mash it up in his own unique style.

 DUBZONE/ Groupes/ Twilight Circus Dub Sound System (aka Ryan Moore)
Twilight Circus Dub Sound System est le "one man project" de Ryan Moore, musicien/producteur canadien actuellement basé aux Pays-Bas, où il a fait partie de 1990 à 2001 de Legendary Pink Dots (là pour plus d'informations, on ne peut décidément pas résumer LPD en deux mots).
Dans ce cadre, il a aussi participé aux nombreuses collaborations entre LPD et cEvin Key (notamment The Tear Garden, ou les albums solo de cEvin Key), qui présentent souvent, si l'on veut m'en croire, un vif intérêt.
C'est dire si ce DJ Spooky vs Twilight Circus m'a plongé dans l'expectative.
