Hello all,

first the review:

"A sound wave, dark and droning hops in opening of
Beneath Fear. A
variegated
intro, which lets emerge a fine piano melody, stiff in
a dense sound
fauna.
This soft tune shares its harmonies with a cloud of
tonalities as
varied as
the fear can have its reasons; flutes, whistling synth
with the
melodious
set of themes, percussions hopping and jerking in a
light and
lugubrious
environment. If the tempo is of equal appearance, it
becomes more
implosive
in the end, hammering the rhythm with the force of
fear. Interesting
Of
course! Parallel Worlds, or Greek musician Bakis
Sirros, presents a
totally
awesome title in Obsessive Surrealism; the perfect
fusion between EM
and
electronica.
A world of rich sound textures and disconcerting
tempos, which are
moulded
perfectly to the sound effects and samplings
meticulously proportioned
by
Bakis Sirros. This defender of analogical sonorities
create thus an
extraordinary effect of richness to juxtaposed
dimensions, as in a
parallel
world, which fills with wonder and which changes many
data in a musical
world where the sound machines don t have borders.
This gives additional languorous effects on titles
like Different
Pathways
and the aggressive Into the Caves of the Mind where
the ingenuous lead
lines
are absorbed by sound effects that propagate an
opposite rhythm. An
incredible and subtle moulding, as if my invisible
clone would go in
front
of me and absorb me while passing... I mould in him
and am his forms.
Completely brilliant. These strokes of genius
pullulate on Obsessive
Surrealism, of the avant-gardism publisher DIN
Records, which
specializes in
the Contemporary Electronic Music. With its vaporous
gas jets, Empty
Human
Cells presents a static intro. Gradually, a circular
tempo is install
supported on deform bass and percussive, if not
hammering, sound
effects
which flies, whereas environment becomes intriguing,
on short symphonic
layers. With a title as striking as Increasing
Complexity, we expect an
insane swirl. But we have instead a small islands
beat, with
xylophonists
percussions. The beauty of this track is this
distortional line of
electronic percussions, which is moulded to a suave
and flowing tempo.
A
beautiful throbbing tempo wakes up Reflective senses.
Slow, like a
hypnotic
pulsation, a fat and round sequence oscillates through
synthetic pads
that
float gently, on a more and more hopping sequence. A
strange cascade,
to
strings synths, crosses this bouncing movement which
takes a form of
undulating jazz with bewitching layers and very
effective percussions.
Whereas Mindmists makes us visit the corridors as
deviating as Empty
Human
Cells, with more variances in the rhythms, Pale Yellow
Sky is a
beautiful
meeting piano/cello, in a lounge environment of
amplified percussions.
Still, the tempo is solitary and is carved around
sound effects and
samplings. Aggressive and tasty, Distracted strikes us
full whip with a
heavy electronic approach, as if Ramp would have built
this movement. A
powerful title which is an absolute synthetic
effervescence, in a loud
ambiance, bordering Mark Shreeve and Ramp limits.
Still on the upbeat,
Crying Spells has the look of its title. An intense
paranoiac bolero,
with
unpleasant choirs on satanic pulsations.

What an opus! From the first to the last key, I was
struck by the
musical
approach of Parallel Worlds on Obsessive Surrealism,
which gives me the
same
impact as Brian Eno with Nerve Net. Everywhere,
samplers and sound
effects
paper the parts length into broad, over sizing the
structures, all in
their
giving an artistic depth to the astonishing paradox.
Very good, very
refreshing, we perceive the parallelism intrusion with
an amazing
subtlety,
signs of a perfect symbiosis. (Rating: 5 out of 6)"
