Friendly Children is definitely the easier play, but Timeisfinicharunninout is divisive Parrish at his best. Spacey, weird, time shifting. It's likely to clear the floor of your instagram renta crowd, heads on the other hand will weep i'm sure... well i would.
Has anyone got a non distorted version or is it just how it is? Fairly frustrating...- it's still fucking distorted... ffs
mine plays fine...- Repress now at Junorecords. Hope that this pressing won´t have the problem with the distorted bassdrum.
- Be very careful not to get a pressing, where the bassdrum is so distorted, that "Friendly Children" is as good as unplayable
(See the comments below). 
Edited 19 years ago"Friendly Children" is one of those super nasty Theo jams that works as well on the floor as on the mind. It may not sound that way the first time you hear it, but it's the truth. The flip is a tough one. it starts off super slow, you can play that part at 45 and mix it with house. when it breaks down though, you gotta turn it down to 33 again to keep a similar tempo. Very bizarre, and certainly not "easy".- The worst thing about this whole project is the fact the vinyl is pressed so atrociously that it's close to unplayable. Scratch that, it is unplayable. What upsets me the most about it is that 'Friendly Children' is one of the best tracks I've heard for ages - I desperately want to be able to play this out and put it on CDs - only the sound quality is so bad that that's not an option. It makes me weep everytime I try to listen to it.
- One more for the collection from Theo.
Timeislafinacharunninoot starts on the ground. drop dead slow and builds and climbs up into an addictive boogie. Good social track for introducing the dancefloor.
Friendly Children provides you with a wonderful Lo Fi dj tools record for the eq happy dj. I can't get into the mid section with the off key pads it has. I have to get out before I hear it otherwise it bugs me. Totally destructive to the Friendly Children who are stuck in my head na na na-ing the day away.
