Paracont
Zoom


Who knew this was such a rare CD? How rare is it? I had a tough time finding an image of the cover online to help prettify this blog entry. That's how rare it is. But it's a testament to my dedication to you, dear readers (reader? Web-crawling bot?) that I ventured out into the wilds of the information superhighway to schlep back this album cover for your enjoyment. Actually, I just went to Discogs.com.

So anyway, Paracont: This is squarely European mid-'90s electro/EBM. It's the kind of thing you wouldn't be surprised to hear on the old Celtic Circle label. Paracont released two full-lengths, this one and a (lousy) follow-up called Xtra-1, plus a split EP with Klinik. And then they went away and haven't been seen again. Were they kidnapped? Eaten by sharks? Or worse, did they get jobs and wives and...kids? The horror. The horror.
