Another stormer by The Black Dog well, Ed Handley, this time under his Balil alias. ‘Parasight’ is a real trance-inducing record. Starting off like a Moroccan barrel organ on crack, the track quickly gains momentum and skilfully blends percussion, 303 acid squelches and a pervasive Maghrebian ambiance to really go off. It’s like falling into a bottomless pit and being serenaded by snake charmers on your way down. Of course I’m using the imaginary imagery loosely, so what? The only place I ever came across a snake charmer was in Marrakech and he was very friendly. Another track that is over far too soon and which defies time.
