The Review:

"Alternate Reality"is the latest release from British one-man space-rock band, pArAdOx OnE, which is basically Phil Jackson. Phil is mostly associated with recordings by American guitarist, Rick Ray.

pArAdOx OnE creates a wonderful blend of music that’s mostly keyboard based. All of the songs are instrumental and clock in mostly under 4 minutes. Personal highlights of the CD are the songs that over 5 minutes, such as Adrenaline Rush (over 6 minutes) and Space Race.

Alternative Reality is a rather short album by today’s standards but it’s just enough to keep you satisfied. I would recommend this CD to fan’s of the aforementioned space-rock genre as well as those looking for something non-metallic
