Parhelia First Light. Release Date : February, 2006. Label: Independent. Rating: Great. (Screw points. To each his own!) Beautiful! I must reiterate, generally instrumental albums are not my favourites. I like vocals, so unless it's a soundtrack or some sort of genre like techno, I always feel like entire albums are better suited with vocals. That said, this is an EP, so it's not overblown. I would love to hear how words could be applied to this music, as the music is quite wonderful. There is some towering rage-ishness that pules through some of the songs, raising them to a crescendo of well-articulated noise. Song of choice : Hard to pick a favourite. I'll go with "Cloudbreak" just because I like the name! -Andy Scheffler Elsewhere Parhelia website Published : January, 2007.
