Review of Sonic Curiosity magazine - Matt Howarth: "This release from 2007 offers 63 minutes of haunting electronic music. Languid electronics laced with haunting harmonics generate melodies supported by understated e-perc of a bubbling nature. Keyboards provide dreamy chords that are supported by airy textures which exhibit a nocturnal flair. The electronics are generally lighthearted and breezy; even the periodic denser tonalities bear a soft sonic caress. A subtle illbient quality lies buried in this tuneage, but it is not prominent enough to disrupt the overall heavenly nature with any substantial edginess. This glitchy seasoning is carefully implanted in the music in a manner that is almost subliminal, enhancing the tuneage with a ghostly charge, crackling in a fashion that is sedate and unintrusive. This fusion of contemporary EM and crackling techno gives the music a highly intriguing sound that is quite appealing. The rhythms are equally soothing, providing a calm propulsion rather than a driving beat presence. Some of the tempos gurgle as if resounding from underwater or perhaps deep inside a cloud of glutinous gas. It's almost as if the percussives were generated by organic machinery. These compositions display a distinctly celestial quality, ethereal yet sturdily crafted with body. The melodies consist of keyboards thriving in a textural medium, gentle riffs surrounded by cottony expanses of bewitching disposition." www.soniccuriosity.com/sc298.htm review of Howard Moscovitz - www.electro-music.com : "This is an excellent CD in the genre of what some would call Space Music. Parrallel Worlds is big into the vintage analog sounds, but the music is fresh. You can relax with this music and let it carry you away, but it is still interesting. If you like Space Music and/or Soundscapes, you will enjoy this CD."
