Parallel Universe

I'm normally not a fan of "remix" albums and although I held out buying this even after owning every one of their albums I was quite pleased. Each version adds a new dynamic to the original songs and this is now a welcomed addition to my collection of one of the greatest bands.

fast delivery, good price

I first heard this album last month playing over the loudspeakers in the elevator of my office building. Oddly enough, the first CD was played in it's entirety on the way up and the second played on the way down. (It is a slow elevator.) I questioned the security guards in the lobby to see who the band was, as I hadn't heard the music before. After being strip-searched and deprived of food for six hours, I was told that this magnificent work was by the group, The Church. I was released on the condition that I never wear pink womens underware again while at the office. After venturing home and puttin on some green panties, I drove to my local Sam Goody and instantly yelled at the clerk for not having this item in stock. I then ran all the way home (my car got stolen) and found the album here on Amazon[com].

First disc is regular Church songs meant to be found on some dancefloor. Second disc is the parallel universe of their music. Something totally different! They are stepping in an other world and it's a beautiful one. My favorite track is "Twin star". Deliciously noisy at start but reached a beautiful guitar-harp sound in the middle part with magical lyrics "she's got two tiny stars in her eyes ..." and it becomes more noisy again and ends softly with that harp-guitar sound. Second favorite is "1st woman on the moon" I enjoy every seconds of that 11 minutes song, love that over-emphasis on the bass and the lovely percussion. Very sensual. Nice album.
