Download the high quality version of these five songs for free (or pay what you feel they're worth) by clicking the 'Buy Now' button and entering £0 when asked to name your price. You'll receive digital versions of the artwork from the back of the CD and CD itself as well as an alternative cover.
The EP comes after nearly a year after parting ways with my last band, much of which was spent trying to reignite the joy music had always provided me. The realisation that I should be working, should be creating something, anything, began with the odd thought that the fifteen-year old version of me, who first picked up the guitar and felt that initial thrill that would fuel me for the next twenty years, would shake his head in disgust at the fact that I wasn't doing anything with the time, talent and gear I had at my disposal. All things I could've only dreamt of as a teenager.
Circus is the culmination of months of hard work and is the direct product of that initial odd thought.
Musically, there's a hard rock song or two, a big ballad, some metal riffs and a few odd instruments and interesting melodies sewn throughout. All along, the focus has been on catchy hooks and good songs, hopefully that shines through.

Great progressive rock from Rick Miller. Plenty of flute, vocal harmony, and strong guitar work. While many prog rockers are very uneven across their albums, Rick's characteristic songwriting approach never lets down but delivers a solid, consistent approach. Highly recommended!

The Ghosts of Pripyat
by Steve Rotherysupported by 4 fans who also own “Circus”
I was really surprised and happy to see that Steve Rothery had brought out a solo album. I was very impressed by the album itself, Steve Rothery's playing reminds me of some of the greats from people like Eric Clapton (Edge Of Darkness the original Series and Rush) along with Pink Floyd. He has managed to encapsulate styles of playing and merge them effortlessly and seamlessly, a feat that many have tried and few succeeded.
