1. Disengage

   Disengage is third and final album by Circle of Dust released in 1998. Klay Scott began to work on the album soon after a brief departure from Angeldust, a music/magic project he and Criss Angel collaborated on together. After Circle of Dust's contract with R.E.X. expired, Klay Scott took the band to Flying Tart Records. Seven remixes for "Chasm" and "Refractor" were produced. Klayton intended to release the remixes on a single separate CD entitled Circle of Dust - Refractor/Chasm Remixes however, this attempt was shot down by the label. The remixes were instead inserted in the album. After completing Disengage and disbanding Circle of Dust, Klayton went on to work on his next project Celldweller.

Examples of DISENGage in a Sentence

1. Robin Simcox:

   Pathways out of extremism are very rarely instantaneous. It can take years for former extremists to fully disengage from this ideology. Expecting someone who was fighting alongside ISIS one day to be a legitimate ally in the fight against Islamist extremism the day after is an unrealistic expectation, the increasingly popular idea that we should not jail terrorists because that would only make them even more radical shows how utterly backwards this entire debate can become. Yes, prison radicalization does exist. However, the answer is to deal with the conditions that create prison radicalization – an inability to isolate charismatic Islamist recruiters, for example – not stop sending those who broke the law to prison.
