When I was about 12-13 ish, I fell into a bad crowd of born again Christian peoples. Well, it wasn't all that bad, but it took a few years to get back to normal without feeling bad about it. But one really good thing came out of knowing these poeple... Circle of Dust.
If you have never heard of Celldweller... I understand. You have likely heard some of his work, regardless, and not have known it. He does a lot for movie trailers, video games and such. but way back in the day, the man who is Celldweller, Klayton had long hair and did a project called Circle of Dust. I saw him perform live when I was about 15. (it was also my first experience stage diving!) The show was amazing, and it changed the way I thought about music for my life.
As I said, I had first heard of Circle of Dust because I was in with this Christian crowd. Originally, Circle of Dust was a Christian band. As for now, who knows about what Klayton's current religious affiliation is. I turned out to be a normal atheist, so who knows where he is now. (Listen to one of my favorite Original Circle of Dust songs HERE!)
I mention this because I went to see Celldweller just this past weekend, and I felt so alive being there to hear and see the music I have loved for so long.
The first time I saw Circle I was invited by this guy who I couldn't stand, but I really wanted to see the show. It was worth it! The second time was worth it as well. Oh, and here's some Celldweller for you!
