I think the big irritating thing about the electro "revival" is that the fashion oriented way people get all concerned about it being a trend in the first place.
let me put it this way-there isn't anything stopping the producers, djs, and would be fans of Acid house to go make some acid house records and mixes and parties pretty much whenever. why for a revival to happen this year or next year or any year? go do it! look, I realize I'm a bit of a "DJ Smorgasbord", so maybe this won't impress anyone, but I found a really old Acid house record that I was mixing in with my "electroclash" mix JUST BECAUSE IT SOUNDED GOOD. peep it at about 31-34 minutes in- http://www.bfamilyrecords.com/mixes/meta/extralongshortbusmix.ram you know, acid is just the sound of a 303- a tool for writing music. why does there have to be all this codified fashion crap. whats the big deal if someone where to make an electro track with an acid bassline? oh the horror! p.s. the new Osbourn track "Shift" in Ghostly/Spectral's State of the Union EP is the phattest retro acid/jackin' track I've heard in forever.... when the acid kicks in at the break... oooohhhhhhhhh.... ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2003 18:08:24 -0400 (EDT) >who's to say that the acid house revival has to be the UK version? > > > >On Fri, 13 Jun 2003, rob wrote: > >> >> The big Issue here is are we in a true state of an "Acid House Revival"..... >> I don't think so and I don't think we've ever seen one!!
