PARALLAX

Listening notes from Ali Finks: I searched for a suitable track for this post and came across Parallax by Sun Electric. It took me back to 1991. I was studying in Edinburgh at that time. During breaks from the library I would head down to the plethora of record shops in the centre of the city. As a KLF completist I was delighted to find a copy of Sun Electrics O’Locco on 12″ in Fopp. I spotted that there were remixes by The Orb and Jimmy Cauty. Or perhaps I had read that there were and went out to snare a copy. I can’t remember the details. I think it might have been on clear vinyl. I used to listen to all the tracks in one sitting while studying at night. It was hypnotic and addictive, predicting the snippets of samples peppered throughout the different versions.
