#19: Alan Parker – Unlimited Love (The Black Science re-edit [Strut] 2000

Price on Discogs: £5

Teetering on the edge of my £5 rule for this blog is a slice of Alan Parker magic that came under Ashley Beedle's scalpel some 20 years ago. Of course you could pick pretty much anything from Ashley's catalogue (and we probably will in the months ahead) but I stumbled across this today in the corner of the record room and was instantly transported back to happier times, namely getting lost on a dancefloor at Soul Buggin' where this track has been played a few times. The 1976 original is criminally short so Mr Black Science himself does what he always does so infuriating well - by splicing and looping all the best bits for maximum dancefloor carnage (with a few subtle extras dropped in for good measure) that spins you round in such a daze that by the end you're dibbling all down your chin not fully aware what day it is. I haven't really featured edits in this blog yet and for good reason, many are lazy and quite simply not needed but "Unlimited Love" does everything you want it to. It's not reinventing the wheel but it doesn't need to. Just leave you grinning from ear to ear.

Of course, there's an equally incendiary Idjut Boys re-edit on the flip of a certain Keith Mansfield but that's a tale for another day...
