Re-mastered at Piethopraxis in Koeln, July 2007.
Artwork by Tina Frank.
"Hotel Paral.lel", originally released in September 1997 by
Mego, was Christian Fennesz's debut solo album. Following up
from the EP ôInstrumentö, it was an investigation into the
sonic possibilties residing in guitar based digital music,
recorded just before mobile computing devices became the norm.
A far more darker and experimental work than what was to
follow. Freeform noise, sliced techno beats and subtle ambient
textures create a timeless work, which is an essential
addition to any collection of pioneering music of the late
20th Century. On the closing ôAusö we see a glimpse of what
was to come, a springboard to the future.
In addition to the original 14 tracks, 2 extra titles are
included:
"5", (originally released in 1996 as a 7' single on Syntactic
(LEAK20), in an edition of 100), and the acclaimed video made
by Tina Frank/skot for the track Aus.
