Paral-lel : Upgrade to mutant sheep

Upgrade to mutant sheep is a new step in blending and mutating styles: electro, grime, drum'n'bass, electronica, techno, 8-bit music, hip hop… Gigabytes of sound and interactive entertainment investigation enabled Paral-lel to create their own sound identity. This new album asserts the necessity of individualization in a consumer society which keeps cataloguing each project as a product and each entity as a potential buyer, being part of a consumer stereotype (niche or target consumer). We all are sheep of Panurge, as stated by Rabelais (cf. Pantagurel), in this society which maintains our gregarious instinct, but despite that, it is always time to stand out of the masses. The only possible evolution is this mutation which enhances each protagonist rather than marginalizing him: the upgrade from sheep to mutant sheep is inescapable.

Upgrade to mutant sheep is an album with a strong thematic content, seeking to break down the genres by proposing 12 tracks of fusions and mutations of electronic music. From the subversive techno of Attack of the mutant sheep to the cordial hip hop of Balnäv, through the melodic and breaking electronica of End of conclusion, or the devastating drum'n'bass - jungle - lowfi of Ninmentolenox: there is no real frontier anymore.
