Prospekt is the ninth album by the Finnish experimental rock band Circle, first released on CD in 2000 by Ektro Records. It was re-released as a double LP by Static Resonance in 2002. The D-side of the re-issue contains the live track "Työläisten laulu" from a show at Jyväskylä, Finland, on September 11, 2001. It was re-issued again as a CD in 2011 by the Brazilian label Essence Records, including the extra track, and presented in a gatefold sleeve replicating the vinyl version in miniature.
Overall, the album has a tight krautrock sound that shows heavy influence from both Can and Neu!. Drawing largely on long improvisations centered on a single riff or chord progression, the songs have an expansive progressive rock sound as well, often going past ten minutes, like "Aarre" and "Eripwre".

A prospekt is a broad, multi-lane and very long straight street in urban areas. The term originated in the Russian Empire. It is often translated as avenue; however, it can also be interpreted as parkway since it is common that a prospekt is the main city route. Under the Universal Decimal Classification it is classified as 625.712.1.
As an urban area sprawls along transportation routes, the roads outside of city limits called chaussée (French for road surface) often also become converted into prospekts.
