Chalk Circle - The Great Lake
Review by Gabriel Addo
The album "The Great Lake" by Chalk Circle is a fantastic addition to any music lover's collection. The band's unique blend of post-punk and new wave creates a sound that is both innovative and captivating. The album features ten tracks, each with its own distinct style and sound.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "This Mourning," which features a haunting melody and introspective lyrics. The song builds slowly, with the instrumentation gradually increasing in intensity until it reaches a powerful crescendo.
Another highlight of the album is "N.I.M.B.Y.," a catchy and upbeat track that is sure to get listeners dancing. The song's infectious chorus and driving rhythm make it a standout on the album.

This is actually a really decent cover!
What a great song, heard this back in the 80s and today it came on the radio and lifted my spirit. Thank you!
Scott Welland Covered this Song
Everything about this song is so on point
I have another for ya, you can add it to the T Rex covers or Rockabilly covers. Probably the best cover of 20th Century Boy that exists.

Anyone here after The Hardy Boys?
Hello CANADA. ?????
When I was 12, I had a 45 of this single and the hole in the center was slightly off so every time I played the record it had this slow pitch shifting "wow" to it. I must have played that record 200 or 300 times... I got so used to the low freqency warble that the song now sounds strange to me without without it!
The piano outro is as good as it gets.
