In every review i always draw a comparison in this case i make no exception for this album,i here Jean Mitchell Jarre and some Enigma, in my opinion this is a compliment for this album.The reverbs and delays are totally 80’s sounding.Linn Drum, Fairlight CMI IIx, Jupiter 4, Halion,DX7, Moog Modular, System 1,DX100, MC202, Pro One, JX-8P, Jupiter 4, TR8, TB3, Jupiter 4 yes they are there all and they sound great.
Parralox: Atmosphärischer Electropopsound mit Soft Cell Anleihen
Die neue Parralox EP Aeronaut ist erschienen. Mit Aeronaut soll eine neue Ära für die elektronische Pop-Band aus Melbourne beginnen - vom Mastermind und Produzent John von Ahlen betreut.
‘Aeronaut’ ist eine dramatisches, pulsierendes Stück Elektropop. Der Song lässt erkennen, warum Parralox Erasure fasziniert haben und dann auch den Support beim Londoner Konzert der letztjährigen Erasure ‘The Violet Flame’-Tour machen sollten.
The band, led by producer John von Ahlen, has had an impressive career so far. Since 2008, they have released six successful albums and winning support and acclaim from an incredibly wide range of musical commentators covering MTV, Popjustice, Arjan Writes and Perez Hilton .. The music video for " Aeronaut "is a visual collaboration between the creative director John Ibrahim and John von Ahlen after working together on the video for "Eye In The Sky" critically acclaimed, a cover of the famous song "The Alan Parsons Project"Visit Javier's blog to read the original article >> http://javier-javierelectro.blogspot.fr/2015/04/parralox-aeronaut-limited-edition-ep-cd.html
Australia’s Parralox have been serving up slightly moody electro pop at an astonishing clip for six or seven years now, with a wealth of material and remixes to show for it. The title single from their fifth LP should serve as a solid enough introduction to anyone late to the party, where you’re as likely to hear motifs from recent greats like Marsheaux and the sorely missed Zeigeist as you are any 80s classics.Visit I Die, You Die to read the full article >> www.idieyoudie.com/2015/04/tracks-april-13th-2015/
Now on to better news! Melbourne-based electropop-act Parralox are back with a new song called "Aeronaut." And it is simply amazing. In our 2015 Music Forecast, I thought the new singer, Johanna would be on lead vocals. She isn't. Instead, John takes the lead and he does a fantastic job. Have a listen ...
"Going back to Parralox‘s first album, Electricity, is like rifling through a collection of the best singles of the 1980s. John von Ahlen’s celebrated lyric videos for Parralox compress the decade’s finest music into graphical quotes, hints and allusions, sometimes using nothing more than the colour palette of a Neville Brody or Designers Republic sleeve. On record, the references come fast and furious, in complex layers. Each listen reveals another tribute to Yazoo, Front 242, Propaganda, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, OMD, that John Farnham track from Hot Rod, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Human League, New Order, Kraftwerk – a breath-taking sweep through the best-loved poptronica of the period, even if the clue is just a particular reverb on the snare or a three-note chord played on a Pro One."
