This 1998 release is the debut of a post-Thela project from the New Zealand underground. Those expecting a progression on the minimal post-rock sound of that group may be surprised to hear two of the group's members taking steps in a minimal electronica direction. However, this is not a digital emancipation of noise, as the duo created this series of short, repetitious vignettes with primitive electronics of a bygone era, resulting in a hazy, almost dub atmosphere which is as close to early Cabaret Voltaire and Coil as it is to Oval or Gas. Parmentier could be the missing link in lo-fi noise and avant-garde electronica of the late '90s.
