"Parallel Horizontal" is a song by the indie pop band Marine Research. It first appeared as a single on 27 July 1999 and then as the opening track on their only album "Sounds from the Gulf Stream" on 24 August. [Allmusic entry ( [http://wc07.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:gpfpxqrkldse link] )]

Its two B-sides were recorded for John Peel's Radio 1 show in May 1999. Neither song featured on "Sounds from the Gulf Stream" and so were exclusive to this release. Amelia Fletcher and Peter Momtchiloff had first recorded a session for Peel in 1987 when they were members of Talulah Gosh.

A music video was made for the song. [Southern Records entry ( [http://www.southern.com/southern/band/MARIR/19500_video.html link] )]

"Parallel Horizontal" garnered several positive reviews. [Marine Research home page ( [http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~queenb/parallelreviews.htm link] )] Paul Connolly in "The Times" described it as "Perfect sunny day pop music", ["The Times", 17 July 1999] while Dale Kattack in "Nightshift" wrote: "it's fantastically merry and uncomplicated but for all its sweetness there's barely a trace of tweeness to he heard". ["Nightshift", July 1999] Stevie Chick in the "NME" described "Angel in the Snow" as "four minutes of icy-cool girl group incandescence". ["NME", 31 July 1999]
