"Known for her dark, experimental, electro sets and sublime productions, Parker's own Touchin' Bass label is now a firm fixture on the electronic music radar. Described by DJ magazine as an electro magnet (meaning she seems to attract like-minded producers from all over who are as warped and passionate about cutting-edge electro as she is) with nearly 40 releases under its belt now, including electronic pioneers like Bitstream, Doctor Evil, RD, EggFooYoung, Secret Frequency Crew, Phoenecia, Otto Von Schirach, Kero, the wee djs, Clatterbox, Nomadic, Alpha 606, Ed Devane, ADJ, Scarletron, Andrea Parker/ David Morley and more... plus a collaboration between herself and Detroit's DJ Godfather and DJ Assault, it has to be said... Touchin' Bass, is one of the world's premier electro labels. Nobody's Perfect Part Three picks up from where the first two installments left off -- showcasing cuts from Touchin' Bass releases 21-31 with Parker once again mixing her way through diverse stubborn beats, abrasive noise and oppressive drones. This album starts off with Parker herself, the Grandma of electro and long-term collaborator David Morley. Digging up some lost gems from the archives, the pair reflect on some stunning past glories, classic electronica and are brought to the boil in Queen TB's inimitable style. This mix is 22 tracks of lows and highs, filled with chaos, damaging beats and moody atmospheres, showing us once again the diversity and unique sound of Touchin' Bass. A dark, frightening endurance test!" Artists include: Clatterbox, Nomadic, Scarletron, ADJ and Ed Devane.

"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."

Special deluxe limited version, from 1999, somehow still in stock (unlike the rest of her MW catalog). The same cover design as the regular edition, but printed on a fold-out vellum sleeve. Elegant LP design at it's finest. Special deluxe packaging limited version. Following an exquisite set of singles going back to '96 (Melodius Thunk, The Rocking Chair & Breaking Ball, this album finds Andrea exploring the various sonic territories outlined by her Mo'Wax catalog to date. From sub-bass electro scronch to breathless vocal works of ecstatic pop reverie (backed by scorching cello lines played by Parker herself), this album focuses on a secret sound sensory-glitch that would be laughed out of context in lesser hands. An arena of non-pre-sets, where unique sounds are prosperous and attention to details ping-pongs over ever centimeter of clatter. Leaving the twinkle-twinkle to the eyes of the beholder. In a better world it gets the attention of U.N.K.L.E. x a million.
