Alotus

Alotus is the thirteenth album by Finnish experimental rock band Circle.

The album cemented Circle's relationship with Hans Joachim Irmler, founder member of krautrock band Faust. The CD was released on Irmler's label Klangbad, and Irmler is credited as producer and co-arranger. In concerts around the time, vocalist Mika Rättö often wore a T-shirt featuring the cover art from Faust's eponymous debut album. Northern Sky was also included on the 2002 compilation Klangbad First Steps.

Strangely, although current members Tomi Leppänen and Janne Westerlund are not credited as playing on the album, they do appear in the band photograph in the sleevenotes.
