Alotus is the thirteenth album by the Finnish experimental rock band Circle.
The album cemented Circle's relationship with Hans Joachim Irmler, a founder member of the 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, the vocalist Mika Rättö often wore a T-shirt with the cover art from Faust's eponymous first album. "Northern Sky" was also included on the 2002 compilation album Klangbad First Steps.[1] [2]
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.
