Unlike other albums where the Far East Family Band focused on Pink Floyd-esque psych ballads, on 'Parellel World' the influence of producer Klaus Schultze is more pronounced, merging prog rock with electronic music to create something rather weired and wonderful. Although Schultze oversaw the production of the album rather than playing on it (which he definitely didnt!), the synth star turn is Masanori Takasaki who was later to find new age fame and fortune under the name of Kitaro. This is space rock at its finest and the bands extended compositions attracted favourable comparisons with both Tangerine Dream and Pink Floyd, and even at times the vocal style of the Moody Blues. Unfortunately this was the bands last album but they went out on a high, achieving the rare feat of appealing to devotees of both Kraut Rock and electronic psychedelia alike."
