4hero - Parallel Universe (Deluxe Edition) (2021)

Parallel Universe, now a cult status classic album, was the album that opened the door to what Jungle/DnB was capable of in the full-length medium. Marc and Dego fused their futuristic breakbeat programming, synthesised string-work, experimental sampling and a great knowledge of early Soul-Jazz Fusion to make this classic. Parallel Universe is one of the most definitive and influential albums of the early electronica era and inspired others to follow with concept albums rather than just making 'tracks'. Released in 1994, not only was it an album that marked the transition from Jungle to Drum & Bass put also paved the way to go beyond genre. Parallel Universe along with the duo's "Beyond Gravity" and "Jacobs Optical Stairway make up a trilogy of groundbreaking, milestone albums you must have.
