Parallel
Worlds Live at Underworld Club, Athens, November 18th.
Martin Rev (of Suicide) live! with "Parallel Worlds" and "Cyanna",
as support acts! Martin Rev is best known for his confrontational work with Alan
Vega as "Suicide"; considered one of the most influential bands of the
last 30 years! If you wonder why journalists call Suicide the 'Kraftwerk of the
states' (or why they strongarmed copies of Suicide's first album from Lester Bangs)
- you must check out Martin Rev, and attempt to answer the question, "who
hasn't he influenced?"
Parallel Worlds will play tracks from their latest
albums, plus new unreleased material from their forthcoming 4th album, combined
with the otherworldly visuals of Jim Davakis!

29TH OCTOBER 05 : NEW RELEASE : SELF OSCILLATE : LOST TAPES
As the name suggests, the album is a collection of idm tracks previously thought lost forever. As you would expect it's all very electronic with nice melodies, rythmns and expert programming. But this one has a much warmer analogue feel than most idm albums these days, favouring REAL analogue machines to make this album.....and you really can tell the difference. It features 12 tracks with some great artwork, one for the analogue synth heads out there.
paralel worlds have contributed a track to the Katrina Relief CD, it's a project organized by a coalition of international musicians using their art to raise funds in support of the victims of hurricane Katrina.
