Title:	The Dark Ages
Label:	QUATERMASS (BELGIUM)
Format:	CD
Price:	$8.50
Catalog #:	QS 120CD

"Inky Blacknuss, Two Sandwiches short of a Lunchbox [R&S], Angular Art [Infonet], an acclaimed album Kiss My Arp on Mo' Wax.... these are some of the many projects in which you may find Aandrea Parker's touch as composer. Beside an impressive discography, she is of course, a unique DJ, find traces of her ability in the Studio! K7 'DJ Kicks' series. another aspect of her work is the art of 'remixes': Depeche Mode, Patrick Pulsinger, Lamb, Mira Calix (Warp) , The Orb, Tipper, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Steve Reich... another non-exhaustive list. Along with live work with Philip Glass and Bang On A Can. How to define Andrea Parker's particular electronic universe? One might think about some amplified heartbeats recorded during a tribal ceremony, some dry waves of sounds recycled from Andrea's environment, floating sonic ghosts grabbed from vintage machines. If you listen closely, depth is obvious. In the forefront, bass, snares, hats and other rhythmical elements are moving in some kind of molecular agitation, creating a massive structure in which the subtle abstract touches are floating in a non-randomatic disorder. This is surely the purest electro sound you'll find, but don't expect Andrea Parker to make music for dancefloor addicts only. These tracks are ready to make you move, but the more you pay attention the more you get. This might be the missing link in the mutually exclusive worlds of 'techno' and 'experimental music', now breathing side by side. danger is a duty."

Title:	Here's One I Made Earlier
Label:	TOUCHIN' BASS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	TB 025CD

"Here's One I Made Earlier is a fine collection of productions from Andrea Parker, recognised as one of the world's leading female electronic artists alongside Ellen Allien and Miss Kittin. The album showcases her keen ear for haunting melody, abstract rhythms, found sounds and subtle atmospheres. Predominantly recorded alongside her long time studio partner, David Morley, this collection of inspirational electronics unveils long deleted and rare lost gems from the vaults of such esteemed labels as K7!, R&S, Infonet and Quatermass. Known for her dark, experimental sets and sublime productions, Parker has pioneered sonic abstraction and electronic beats for some fifteen years now -- 'the grandma of electro!' An avid enthusiast of classic analog synthesizers and drum machines such as the Arp, Serge, Buchla, Fairlights and of course the 808, she chooses them over the current fashion for software. Early on she collaborated on some electronic adventures as Inky Blacknuss (with Alex Knight) producing timeless gems like 'Blacknuss.' Then formed 'Two Sandwiches Short Of A Lunchbox' with David Morley on Apollo/R&S and together they went on to produce the classic EP Angluar Art (Infonet) -- both of which can be heard on this new but old collection. In time she signed to Mo Wax, releasing the singles 'Melodius Thunk,' 'The Rocking Chair,' 'Ball Breaker,' and the full length album Kiss My Arp. Parker's productions have many emotions and sonic textures -- a fact not lost on the film and advertising fraternity who have used tracks from her output extensively. Their uses and users have been diverse, from a track on blockbuster movie Vanilla Sky where Tom Cruise is dancing to 'Too Good To Be Strange' and Patrick Moore's 'Sky At Night' to a documentary on NASA and a mugging crime re-enactment on Richard & Judy."
