Yeah, I'm actually quite enjoying this acid revival. It seems to be the next 'big' sound - it's only a matter of time before Madonna starts wailing over bubbling 303 basslines but in the meantime there's some nice stuff coming out - Abe Duque's 'What Happened' EP, some of the newer Poker Flat stuff, some Trapez releases - all have got that unmistakable squelch about them and are great tunes to boot. Hell, even the mighty Kraftwerk have a full-on acid shakedown on the Aerodynamik EP courtesy of Alex Gopher and Etienne De Crecy (one of the weaker manifestations of the sound imho).
Of course, it means that lots of people will be reaching for their copies of rebirth and going at it like loons possessed and we're already starting to see a fair bit of crap around but I think it's unfair to dismiss *everything*. And of course, if you're into that hard London squat-techno sound, the acid never went away in the first place ;-) >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 23/06/2004 1:13:28 pm >>> *** hey and why not revisit something old? the past, unknown to one, carries no less mystery than future. after all everything melds into present, this very moment, right here sorry for pretending to be wise=) /z99 it was 23.06.2004 when u've been going like this -=> ::> no this is your problem not mine I have little to no interest in retro ::> music... why revisit some thing already done why not strive to do soke ::> thing new and innovative... ::> On Wed, 23 Jun 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> >> >> >> >> there's your problem - you're thinking early 90s acid, which has nothing on >> late 80s chicago acid! >> james >> www.jbucknell.com >> >> >> >> >> Neil Wiernik >> <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> g> To >> 313@hyperreal.org >> 22/06/04 02:24 PM cc >> >> Subject >> (313) 303 SUMMER was (313) >> plastikman.... >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> this happened here (montreal, canada) last winter... lasted all of 5 mins >> (thank god) and >> disapeared back into where i belongs the early 90s retro bins... >> ;) >> >> >> >> On Tue, 22 Jun 2004, Fabrizio Nahum wrote: >> >> > >> > > on a side note: here in rome it seems like it will be a 303 summer, as >> > acid >> > > is making a big comeback both st the record shop and the various summer >> > > techno events.
