The album is a mixed and re-arranged ("manipulated"[1]) composite of three live shows on consecutive nights in Turku, Jyväskylä and Helsinki. It was re-issued in 2002 by Squealer Records with an extra track, "Raubonmix". A review in Pitchfork called it "a decent album for any newcomer to Circle's work".[2] Alex Henderson, writing for AllMusic, commented on the two different types of music on the album: "Parts of Raunio...are calm, reflective, and mindful of European chanting and spiritual traditions. Other times, however, the Finnish band rocks aggressively, turns up the amps, and engages in some very tripped-out, free-spirited jamming".[3]
