Paradise Circus (album)
''Paradise Circus'' is the second album by English band the Lilac Time and was released by Fontana Records in October 1989. Initially intended to be a double album, consisting of one album of songs by band leader Stephen Duffy and one of instrumentals, it ended up being condensed into a single album at the record company's insistence. The album is regarded by critics as being bolder and fuller-sounding than the Lilac Time's first album, with a greater Country music, country & western influence. Recording In early 1989, the Lilac Time's record company Fontana Records, Fontana/Phonogram Inc., Phonogram asked the band to begin recording their second album.

Four Walls / Paradise Circus
"Four Walls" / "Paradise Circus" is a collaboration between British electronic music artists Massive Attack and Burial. The single was first released as a limited vinyl edition on 17 October 2011, with pre-orders from 10 October 2011. It consists of Burial mixes of Massive Attack's previously unreleased track "Four Walls", and of "Paradise Circus", which was featured in their 2010 album ''Heligoland''. Both songs contain vocals, and lyrical contributions, by Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star. Background In late 2009, Daddy G of Massive Attack appeared to suggest in an interview with '' Clash'' that there would be an equivalent remix album of ''Heligoland'' by Burial, yet various comments made afterwards cast major doubt on the prospect ever being more than an idle whim. In May 2010, Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja told ''Q'' magazine that, "It's happening, but we can't talk about it. (Burial)'s very private and paranoid about it." Release The single release was limited to 1,000 copies ...
