Listener Reviews:

dbssll Parallel Worlds is an original and distinctive voice in a sea of samey electronic music. Off kilter quirky rhythms alternate with slightly uneasy ambience. The melodic fragments always arrive from an unexpected angle and catch your ear as they float by. Give it a go.

selfoscillate Another great album by modular master Bakis Sirros, crafted in his instantly recognisable style. His music arouses emotions without the need for overcrowded arrangements. The melodies speak for themselves and the delicate percussion programming is the perfect surrounding for them. It is all done to the point without clutter. Very nice. Fully recommended. Favorite track: Time Dimension.

mamonulabs This album delivers a rich tapestry of autumnal IDM and ambient sounds. A fusion of analog modular synthesis with digital / granular elements in classic Parallel Worlds style. Favorite track: In Harmony.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luck and Strange is the fifth studio album by English guitarist and songwriter David Gilmour, released on 6 September 2024 by Sony Music. It was produced by Gilmour and Charlie Andrew. Gilmour said Andrew challenged him musically and was not intimidated by his past work with Pink Floyd.

Gilmour's wife, novelist Polly Samson, wrote most of the lyrics, which she said addressed mortality and ageing. Their children contributed additional vocals, lyrics and instrumentation. The song "Luck and Strange" features keyboards recorded in 2007 by the Pink Floyd keyboardist, Richard Wright, who died in 2008. The album also features a cover of the 1999 song "Between Two Points," originally by the British band the Montgolfier Brothers.

Luck and Strange became Gilmour's third number-one album on the UK Albums Chart. "The Piper's Call," "Between Two Points," "Dark and Velvet Nights" and "Luck and Strange" were released as singles. Gilmour began a tour supporting the album in September 2024.

Surface 10 is the moniker of Californian electronic musician Dean De Benedictus. He has previously released albums on the DiN label with In Vitro Tide (DiN8) & Surface Tensions (DiN24). Finishing a hiatus of over a decade, which saw him pursuing several film projects, he returns to DiN with a stunningly original new album, “A Stray Ending” (DiN77).

The DiN label has always actively encouraged the blurring of genre boundaries and with this new opus Dean has certainly done that with influences as far flung as Electronica, Ambient, IDM, Berlin School, Glitch, Progressive Jazz Fusion, World and Cinematic music. Such a heady mixture is immediately apparent on the opener “Neverheart” with its achingly beautiful and haunting chordal themes overlaid with an intertwining tapestry of percussion and glitched out effects. The album rises and falls through layers of dazzling sound design and compositional complexity to reach its apex with the freak-out intensity of “Azz”. The following track “Dorothy Spearhead” is perhaps the most concise piece on show here, with its vocal melodic hook and danceable drum groove. This leads into the spectacular “Non Fi” which propels the listener on an epic tour de force of electronic invention before the album closes with the melancholic shimmering beauty of “Universal Winter (Rework)”.

This new album from Surface 10 is almost beyond categorisation and is full of so many inventive and detailed sonic and musical elements that it will give the listener something new to focus in on each and every listen. Another truly unique addition to the DiN catalogue.

Parallel Worlds

 Listener Reviews:

dbssll Quite a varied release - from ambient drone to more rhythmic tracks full of electronic details. The more rhythmic tracks vary in mood from light almost pastoral to dark bordering on the industrial occasionally. A distinctive voice that will repay detailed listening.

mamonulabs music to travel to the Parallel Worlds of your mind. Fax-heads will love this album Favorite track: Mister E.

selfoscillate This is a really captivating and varied Album, almost like a cinematic soundtrack. It is a melting pot of different moods and styles, dark at times, but also with moments of hope. It brings Ambient, Drone and elements of IDM together nicely, with lots of details that encourage repeated listens. Another great effort by the master of modular synths. Well done, Bakis. Favorite track: Spectral.
