Das Kabinette - The Cabinet 7'' (1983)

"How long shall I live? Until dawn ... "

This band apparently wasn't around too long, but this release is just full of awesomeness. It's a shame that they didn't last, as this release shows a lot of promise.

A CD by this band recently came out. I assume that it is a bunch of demos and what not, since this is the only release by this band that I know of.

I give this an A+. For a minimal electro song (by a no-name band!), it features some complex layering and interesting guitar work. The b-side is a wierd rehash of the a-side, but "The Cabinet" is so awesome that it doesn't matter!

Position Parallele - Position Parallele 2007

This post sees an interesting release by the French group, Position Parallele. This release reminds me of old French coldwave classics (look it up). It is dark, minimalistic electronic music with a strong pop influence. It is perfect for darker dancefloors!

According to sideline.com, "Position Parallele is the cold electronic side-project of the martial/neoclassical act Derniere Volonte." Funny. This CD is anything but martial, unless you count the floor stomping it's tracks are bound to bring.

Overall, I'd give this release an A rating. It is a suprising gem that is unfortunately on the short side. Be sure to check out my 2 favorite tracks, "Tes levres/Passe Les Portes," and "Je Reviendrai."
