Celestial is the final full-length studio album by Circle X and was released in 1994.
After experimenting and releasing EPs for more than a decade, Celestial marked the bands first major release since Prehistory in 1983.
Celestial is regarded as "showcasing the diverse, honed ideas in an impressive cycle of thought-provoking bludgeons and sublime dirges",[2] and "Circle X made it seem like No Wave never went away."[3]
The album would be the last album by Circle X due to the death of founding member and guitarist Bruce Witsiepe from HIV complications in 1995.
