93 Million Miles From The Sun
As stereotypical visions of people and places go, the good folks of Doncaster aren't exactly at the top of the list when thoughts turn to embracing new, experimental music. Indeed, having spent the occasional stag night in DN1 and its dens of iniquity also known as night clubs, the nearest anyone could expect to come to encountering new music would be the "Indie half hour" in Seventh Heaven, where Oasis, The Enemy and Ocean Colour Scene are the so-called alternative. Thank heavens for small mercies then, as 93 Million Miles From The Sun not only manage to dampen stereotypes, but their self-produced, self-titled debut long player could (whisper it) just be one of 2009's most exquisite offerings on the album front. Combining layered, textured guitars over an array of effects and choral vocals, 93 Million Miles From The Sun is one of those records that, while evoking memories of the likes of Slowdive in their heyday or even a more sonically enhanced Maps, stands tall and proud in its own right due to the dazzling range of variation across its thirteen tracks. Another key element of 93 Million Miles From The Sun's extensive make-up is that not only do they express a desire to take their sonic experimentation one step further, but they also never lose sight of the fact that beneath all the reverb and delay lay actual songs that would sound just as affecting stripped down. 93 Million Miles From The Sun are:- Nick Mainline (guitars/effects/vocals), Rob Hogg (bass/effects) and Jack Straker (drums/effects). The album 93 Million Miles From The Sun is available direct from Parallax Sounds.

BAGPIPE WHISKEY IN SESSION FOR GLOBAL SOUNDTRACKS! Presented by: Tom Ravenscroft (John Peel's son)
After playing 'Horsebite' by Bagpipe Whiskey in GS018 we received a deluge of emails demanding more. Ever eager to please we tracked down Bagpipe Whiskey, also known as Ben, and he suggested there would be no better time to record him than Halloween and no spookier place to record than an old cinema in Fishguard, South West Wales. So that's what we did.Tuesday, February 10th, 2009
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COVER VERSIONS OF COCTEAU TWINS AND MAPS!!!!
Just to let you know that 2 artists on the Parallax Sounds music label have recorded cover versions.
Isle of Kin, has an exclusive myspace only cover version of the "Cocteau Twins - Oomingmak" which originally is taken from the Cocteau's 1986 album "Victorialand" and i must say that Kyle has done an excellent job in creating it. A big thanks also go out to Robin Gutherie for his kind permission!
93MillionMilesFromTheSun, have an exclusive cover version of "Maps - To The Sky" which originally is taken from Maps 2007 album "We Can Create" and i must say that the original track is excellent but 93MillionMilesFromTheSun's cover version is indeed better! The 93 team have managed to give the track more guts, making it stand out even more. It's well worth checking out!

CREDIT CRUNCH AND PIRACY DOWNLOADING AFFECTS INDIE MUSIC LABELS WORLDWIDE!
Indie label distribution company Pinnacle Entertainment has been declared bankrupt, with the firm letting go over 94 people (December 3 2008). The company is the latest casualty of the credit crunch, and puts the entire future of indie labels into question, as the company was responsible for releasing records from over 400 indie labels. Among the hundreds of influential record labels that were distributed by Pinnacle are Rough Trade (home of The Strokes), One Little Indian, Drag City and Fierce Panda.
So, what with the credit crunch and lots of people pirating by downloading music from the internet all the time, things are going to get worst by the sounds of things but Parallax Sounds will continue providing good alternative music. Parallax Sounds does not care about the credit crunch because its not about the money or how many sells, its about the music and getting people into the music. Even if we only sell 1 copy of an album, Parallax Sounds will still continue to help keep the alternative independent music alive. Thats serious dedication for you!

PARALLAX SOUNDS music net label launch and compilation release!!!
PARALLAX SOUNDS MUSIC NET LABEL LAUNCH!!!!!! Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Music Artists, Young and Old people from all over the world, and Music Fans. Welcome to Parallax Sounds music net label, home to music artists of a alternative nature from all over the world!!! In the beginning there was the "Big Bang", and now recently the "BIG BANG MACHINE". Scientists and Physicists created their own "BIG BANG" and then "PARALLAX SOUNDS" was born!!! (Joke!) Parallax Sounds will be officially launching the music label on "Wednesday 1st October 2008". To celebrate the launch of the label, there will be the very first Parallax Sounds release which will be the Parallax Sounds music label compilation album titled "Parallax Sounds Volume 1" by various artists from the label and will be available as a FREE mp3 download on the Parallax Sounds website and myspace. There will also be a limited edition CD-R version (100 copies only) for a small price of £2 plus £1 postage and packaging in the U.K and £2 postage and packaging to the rest of the world. Parallax Sounds is an independent, alternative, D.I.Y, music net label created and co-founded by myself (Anthony Merrill aka Maelstrom). Yes, it's only me thats managing the label!!! The purpose of the label is to open the ears, hearts, minds and souls of people out there with good, positive unheard and unsigned alternative music and to create recognition for music artists on the label to a wider audience and to develop my passion and John Peel's (R.I.P) passion for music further. I will be arranging and planning some press coverage and some radio sessions in the near future and will let you know more nearer the time about that. Please keep in mind that this label is at experimental, developing stage and is only a small label but if we keep being positive and help each other along the way, who knows? We might develop into something more bigger and become the new Warp Records or something or maybe i can be the next Tony Wilson (R.I.P) of Factory Records! LOL!! Parallax Sounds looks to have a good future ahead and more great music artists are destined to join, with a couple of already famous music artists joining up in 2009 (Hopefully), just to give the music label some support and abit of a boost! I personally want to say a big "THANK YOU!" to all the great music artists on my label for helping to make this happen and for believing in me! I also want to thank all the people out there and the music fans for their support, and wonderful comments and messages that i recieve daily and for people who take time to listen to the music. Without YOU...this label would be nothing! As quoted by Krister Linder, "The artists are in no way exclusively bound to Parallax Sounds. Neither can all of their music be said to represent Parallax Sounds. But these souls are in some way contributing to the Parallax Sounds project and furthering its spirit." We are are all equal and we are all good friends. Let's keep up the good work by being positive to one another and to help each other succeed in our dreams and happiness in life! Parallax Sounds hasn't even started yet and the label as already become quite popular. Exciting times, surprises and bigger things are yet to come in the future. So.. on the 1st of October why not join me with a drink to celebrate the beginning of something special. Have fun! Lot's of Unconditional Love, and Peace! Anthony Merrill (Co-founder of Parallax Sounds and Maelstrom).
