Parallel is a compilation album by the intelligent dance music artists Ken Downie, Ed Handley and Andy Turner, aka The Black Dog.^[3][4] It was released in 1995 on double vinyl and CD. The album compiles three EPs released on the GPR label in 1991 and 1992.

AllMusic wrote that there's "some quality material, but without the integrated feel of their other full-length works."^[2] BBC Music called Parallel a "landmark," writing that the remastered title track included on the Book of Dogma collection "is blinding as ... layers of light and reflective sound form an expansive multi-tonality."^[5]
