. Idiosyncratic Expressions comp cd (Parallel Recordings, Ltd. 008)
PRESS INFO -- After eight vinyl releases, Parallel is pleased to offer=
a cd compilation as release #9 (number nine... number nine...), including=
our faves (at the moment) for the last three years, & two new tracks. From=
PRL-002 comes the 'alien sounding' Unexpected Visitor courtesy of Sharp and=
Williams as well as Burtt & Williams's exquisite electro-disco=
(appropriately titled) 'Schizophrenic Disco.' Kit Clayton & Jason Williams=
are I-Liner on 5-star rated PRL-003's S-Bahn. I-Liner also pulls into this=
station (number nine... number nine...) with new track entitled 'In The=
East,' a bit of deconstructed jazz funk from the t-dimension. The title=
track of Velocette's PRL-004, 'Memories for the Future,' has been called=
"difficult to catorgize - techno jazz" & appears here again. Velocette also=
offers up 'Savannah,' a brand new, 6/8 electronic jammy for your inner=
hominid to shimmy across the mushroom dotted plains. Kit Clayton recieved=
high praise on PRL-005, in fact one writer called it "some of the most=
inspired music i've ever had the pleasure of reviewing." We have here 'Box=
Section,' a "boxy tech-house number" & 'W-Shape (Velocette remix),' with=
its "shooting star murmurs" & "motorized bassline." Keek (aka Timeblind aka=
Chris Sattinger), author of PRL-007, is represented here by 'Sodom +=
Gomorah,' a bacchanal groover suitable for play in either city. Velocette=
closes off this compilation with the "rolling, melancholy" 'I Feel...,"=
also off PRL-004. Parallel is sure you & all your friends will enjoy the=
digital convenience of this cd for enjoying & sharing that Parallel Sound.=
So just answer two little questions before we go: Movin'? Groovin'?*
LANCE COMMENTS -- Most of the Parallel Label classics finally see a cd=
release on this new comp. Despite having releases from Kit Clayton, Jonah=
Sharp, Chris Sattinger, Jason Williams, and Velocette, the Parallel label=
is remarkably underrated label but hopefully this comp will help the vinyl=
impared see the light. Check this if you're into various flavors of techno,=
tech-house, tech-dub, and electro-tech.
