In times where microchips
begin to think like humans, music will start to sound
like machines, or like mathematical processes and equations.
In the year 2000, life will get more scientific, nature
will be an unfortunate necessity, humanity merges with
cyber life. In these times, it's about as important,
knowing your physics, as it is having your facts on
hip hop at arms reach. And this is the soundtrack to
these paradigm shifting times.

Surprisingly confident,
these alien to our world's soundwaves, walk among us,
ticker with our DNA, and confuse is in five split existences.
This is gibberish, engrafted during traditional stonemasons
rituals. Then again, all I just wrote is a bunch of
crap.

You have heard many
people spit that science fiction, chemical, next level,
spaced out, blah blah style, and it's dope, no doubt.
But while they write themselves on mars, their ass is
still very attached to this good old blue planet we
call earth. So this is flossing with vocabulary and
outta this world thoughts, rather than with Rolexes
and other iced down materialistic trophies. Then again,
all I just wrote is a bunch of crap.

Circular Objects, a
one time project consisting of the lyrical shapeshifting
of Panik and SPAM Kenobi, combined with the musical
unconformity of Periodic and Panik, this can be described
by the crap I wrote up there, and it can't. There are
several things, that make this album worth of one's
biggest praise. As said, these artists are very confident
in doing whatever crosses their mind, that their middle
finger to uniformity is something that will always attach
the listener to these songs. The beats are so way out
there, so full of details, so thought out, well conceived,
so magnetic, you are tempted to turn up the volume,
to hear, if there's another hidden layer somewhere.
And finally the lyrics, are to be analyzed like the
DNA strings. They might not be useful as a guideline
of day to day life, they nevertheless will warm your
poetic heart, you Star Trek nerdism, your binary bloodstream
of digitized analogism, or something like that.

Like on the title cut
"Upload".
Patiently the beat starts, a door opens, and throwing
your eyes around in panic for something deadly attacking
you, they give you advice in "thank god you can seek
shelter in the shield of skepticism". And during the
second verse, you hear this worm like being, eating
up the track. In an even fight, the emcees flow, throw
jewels in front of this monster, and destroy it with
sonic beams.

But don't hesitate to
fully devote your time to the instrumental "Beautiful
People". Throw your ears around the conspired
"Truth",
fight the urge to go to the next pet shop to buy yourself
a 'nano second', after hearing "Life
In A Nano Second". Play trooper and discover
the hidden track, and have the flatline of your creativity
be reanimated with an electroshock.

And while this all possibly
makes no sense at all, why should it? This album is
good enough to have everybody fighting to get their
copy. This is what you will be listening to, when the
science fiction age has finally rushed through our life's.
This is taking you to the future, but as a circular
object, it will also take you back to the naked state
of birth. Upload.
