Parallel Mind

Parallel Mind is an instrumental progressive rock trio whose compositions are intense and complex, yet still accessible and powerfully melodic. Inspired by the likes of Yes, Genesis, Rush, and more recently, Planet X and Porcupine Tree, the band creates a fresh and modern sound that is both forward-thinking and hard-hitting. At times described as "cinematic", the music invokes the listeners imagination and creates a mood that truly entertains audiences. Parallel Mind began in the Fall of 1999 with the meeting of Joe Babiak and Nibandh Nadkarni. Throughout the years the group has undergone numerous changes in personnel, but Joe and Nibandh have always remained the groups backbone. Bassist Jason Pachona joined the group early on and contributed his many talents to the song writing and overall sound of Parallel Mind. In early 2003, Parallel Mind asked veteran prog bassist Bill Kopecky to come aboard and assume Jason Pachona's role as bass player. In 2005, Parallel Mind signed with the Canadian label Unicorn Digital. During its first year in release, Parallel Mind's debut album, Colossus ADEA gained worldwide attention, selling many copies and receiving outstanding reviews. The album consists of five tracks totaling over one hour of serious and thought-provoking progressive rock music. As of 2006, Parallel Mind is currently writing material for their next album, this time using the talented bassist Ty Phillips. Ty's melodic playing is strongly rooted in jazz-fusion and adds a fresh sound that will surely take the group to new heights. Over the years, Parallel Mind has earned a reputation for putting on high-quality performances that showcase their excellent musicianship and compositional skills. They have established themselves in the hearts and minds of music lovers everywhere. [bold]Welcome to the music, the vision, the experience that is... Parallel Mind![/bold] Read more on Last.fm.
