From their facebook page:
"It is time for some new music! 'Isolated Chapters' EP is out!!
2 unreleased songs we never got to finish during 'The 1st Chapter' & 'Isolate' era is finally seeing the light of day."

So they are not necessarily back to their progressive roots... this is old stuff...

This 2 songs EP will never be available physically I guess. I'm not an Apple user. What are the other options for this digital EP? In flac if possible...

Bummer. I'd love it if they went back to that their original style, but...oh well.

I wish they would continue this style!! Also the mixing on these two songs is so good!

I caved in and got the EP...
So, was it worth the $10? Well, that’s up for debate. Sure, the two songs are great and while one of them sounds like it could come off of “isolate” and the other off of “first chapter”, both feel like b-sides (as in not quite on same level as the other songs from those discs - but “duh” not much prog Metal is!). But, since this is probably the only chance we will ever get to hear CM doing that style ever again, it’s not a bad purchase per se.

Now, this is where it gets interesting - apparently the band also released a live disc the other day of them performing “nine” in its entirety!!! I’m one of those that think both “nine” and “havoc” are wonderful albums and I really like this new style of circus Maximus, so a live disc of that entire album is just what the doctor ordered in my book. Haters can continue to hate :)

Yes, and the Japanese edition has the EP as bonus... I currently don't see other editions (US, Europe, etc)... Maybe the EP will be also available on these editions, if they see the light of the day... I don't know... So far, it looks like that only the Japanese edition of "Nine Live" is available on CD...
