    Oh my goodness, if this ain't the coolest, trippinest, tape of the year of 1990, I don't know what is! Nine songs total and all of them are awesome but the stand outs are simply incredible. My personal faves are "If I Had a Yard," "Blue skies," and "Restore My Soul." Check this out from "Restore My Soul," "I cry to you, with two eardrums blistered, from laughing with preachers of night, with my vertabrae twisted, from dancing with creatures of night, a day away from sanctified, a breath away from whole, restore my soul..." A definite thumbs up on this puppy, get now or you'll regret it!

    The Asbury Collegian March 7, 1991Reviewed by Chris ViciousThe Choir is on a rampage! "Circle Slide," the sixth release by the Choir, is a powerful yet ironic album with a deep statement underlying it all. The Choir is one of Christian music's best alternative bands. They have won several awards including: 1989 CCM Reader's Choice for favorite alternative album, favorite long form video, favorite alternative rock band, the 1989 Harvest Rock Reader's Poll…Heaven's Metal #28Reviewed by Doug Van PeltThe Choir's new album, the band's sixth, is a consistently moody collection of tunes somewhere in between side two of "Wide-Eyed Wonder" and U2's "The Unforgettable Fire" (minus "Pride"). I still think the band's best material lies on "Shades Of Grey" and "Chase The Kangaroo."
