The return of a legend! Parade Ground was formed in 1982 (a time when lots of bands were popping up, and disturbing rock music with a fresh and daring electro sound) by the brothers Pierre and Jean-Marc Pauly starting with more cold wave inspired songs and evolving towards an intelligent electro pop sound! Their first release came in 1983 under the wings of Daniel B. and Patrick Codenys from Front 242, aware of Parade Ground`s talent and potential, both Front 242 members collaborated on almost all Parade Ground's records and even released some material on Mask Records (Front 242's own label in the early days). Colin Newman (Wire) was also in charge of a few tracks. Their biggest recognition, so far, came when the A-side from their "Strange World" 12" was included on the cult compilation album "This is Electronic Body Music" in 1987. The next year the band recorded their first album, "Cut Up". The two brothers were also involved in the making of Front 242's albums "06:21:03:11 Up Evil" and "05:22:09:12 Off". In 2004, Parade Ground was ready for a new career and played some of their new songs live on stage for the very first time at the 3rd Belgian Independent Music Festival surprising friends and critics a like. Today Parade Ground is presenting "Rosary", their newest creation produced by no one less than Patrick Codenys.
The never released album from 1989, containing 12 tracks
In a limited edition of 520 hand-numbered copies, 180 gram vinyl, no re-press, plus insert with notes from Colin Newman (Wire) and Patrick Codenys (Front 242).
