Full Circle: The Birth, Death & Rebirth Of Circle Of Dust is a deeply intimate and fascinating documentary film that provides a profound insight into the operation of the music industry and above all, the creative process and journey of one of the most influential and, arguably, one of the most overlooked figures in the industrial music genre; Klayton, known as Scott Albert in the early stages of his career.

The narrative weaves an immersive journey from the inception of Scott Albert's career as an emerging musician to his eventual breathtaking evolution into Klayton, the multi-genre artist he is today, cherished by fans around the world. However, the titular focus of the film is 'Circle of Dust,' Klayton's groundbreaking industrial project that despite birthed in significantly challenging industry conditions, managed to leave an unforgettable imprint on the 90s underground music scene.

The film is deftly helmed by Director Kyle Newman, who presents an unheard story with meticulous precision and respect for the subject matter, ensuring the narrative is in no way compromised. Newman brings Albert's career into focus, from his humble beginnings growing up in a strictly religious family in New York state to his pioneering new industrial sound which would come to be known as Circle of Dust.

The viewer gets to follow Klay's journey as he plunges headlong into the music industry, fighting against numerous adversities that included controlling record labels, technology limitations, contractual restrictions, and personal struggles that may have easily put the brakes on a less resilient artist.

However, Albert persisted, evolved, and refined his musical craft, ultimately leading to the creation of another musical project 'Celldweller,' which has since garnered a substantial global fanbase. Despite the hurdles, Albert's commitment to his art was unwavering. His journey serves as a testament to his indomitable spirit, showcasing his determination and unparalleled passion for music in the face of adversity, essentially making the documentary an inspiring tale of persistence and resilience.

Besides being a chronicle of Albert's transforming music career, the film also serves as a time capsule of the ’90s music industry, offering a look at the struggles independent artists faced during this time – a lack of creative control, the hurdles of recording and distributing music, and the struggle for recognition. The in-depth interviews, anecdotal tales, and archival footage amalgamate to give viewers a sense of the challenges faced during a period where the music landscape was drastically different from today.

The film further presents an intriguing and dramatic overview of the resurrection of ‘Circle of Dust.’ Over two decades after the initial and rather tumultuous end of the band, Klayton managed to reacquire the rights to his early work and re-released remastered versions of his albums along with new material, bringing the story of Circle of Dust full circle, in a tale of birth, death, and rebirth hence, contributing to the profound sense of the documentary's title.

One of the most revealing aspects of the documentary is the interviews with Klayton himself. They provide an in-depth understanding of the man behind the music and his tireless drive to create unique and compelling sounds, despite the obstructions along his path.

These interviews are compelling and deeply personal, highlighting the trials and tribulations the artist has gone through, his resilience to continue forging a path forward, his musical evolution, and his aspirations for the future. His passion, dedication to his craft, and his unyielding determination to continue producing great music come to the forefront.

In essence, Full Circle: The Birth, Death & Rebirth Of Circle Of Dust encapsulates a compelling saga of the industrial genre's unsung hero and his journey that was never straight-lined, punctuated with disappoints and success in equal measure. However, the unwavering dedication and the undying love to create music that touches the soul remained persistent.

The documentary’s appeal stretches beyond fans of Klayton or the Industrial music scene. Full Circle tells a story of resilience, creativity, untiring passion, and the undying resolve to retain one’s identity, which will inspire viewers from all walks of life. It’s a truly immersive experience and an understated gem that deserves recognition from music lovers everywhere.
