I'll go for some old Chicago tracks that aren't *amazingly* obvious, but leave aside modern stuff (I do think that Jeff Mills and Mad Mike are the John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders of the TB303 though, as evidenced on Seawolf and the Acid Rain series :) : Six Brown Brothers "City Hall" Dr Derelict "That Sh*t's Wild" Lidell Townsell "Feel The Mood" Mr Lee "Never Gonna Change" Hokus Pokus "Different World" (*especially* this track!) Mike 'Hitman' Wilson "Bango Acid" JM Silk "Music Is The Key" Maurice "This is Acid" Hot Hanas Hula "Hot Hands" The Porch Monkeys "Hello Lover" and of course the tear-jerkingly poignant "I Got A Big D*ck" by Maurice Joshua...

Re: [313] off topic but fun nonetheless
there are so so so many. but here are a couple of my all time favourite chicago acid tracks--house master baldwin 'don't lead me' (future scope), ace and the sandman 'let your body talk'(saber), phortune 'feel the bass' (hot mix 5), the poke (mike dunn's your turn to work it mix), laurent x 'machines'. marshall jefferson 'do the do'(dj international?) some early 90s, non chicago acid--mike ink 'house arrest' on the we call it acid e.p. (force inc), count zero[richard h kirk] 'silent prayer' (ozone). for those in sydney, i'll be playing some, if not all, of these tracks tonight at teknikal at chinese laundry. if it wasn't 22c (74f) and not a cloud in the sky i'd make the list longer. but i'm off to sit in the bushland by the sea and look for fairy penguins. james www.jbucknell.com > From: Samuel Hobbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2002 13:53:20 -0700 (PDT) > To: 313@hyperreal.org > Subject: [313] off topic but fun nonetheless > > hello all- > > i am hoping to get everyone's help in suggesting some > definitive acid house tracks for downloading purposes. > i'm hoping to fill up at least a cd with mp3 tracks > so i'd appreciate as many suggestions as possible. > > THANKS > > -sam > > __ > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo!

RE: [313] off topic but fun nonetheless/acid
So it's not acid house if there's distortion on the 303?? That's adding a little too much narrowmindedness to the genre I think Acid is a feeling, just as house is ;-) personally, I wouldn't know how to really define acid house, but it sure isn't the 303 = acid equasion. There's plenty of brilliant acid around without the 303. Maurice Joshua's - I got a big d*ck as one of the best examples. And as far as distortion goes, like it or not, but Bang the Acid is still acid. Maybe you don't think it's great and it's not from the 80's or from Chicago or sounds like Phuture. But that doesn't mean it's not acid house.

RE: [313] off topic but fun nonetheless/acid
I think there's a bit of a temptation to think that "acid house", like hip-house, was a sub-style of house that only lasted so long, and that subsequent records by UR, Damon Wild, Affie Yusuf et al were essentially techno tracks with an acid sound. I'm a big fan of continuity in music though and so I would class Bang the Acid as an acid track. However (maybe this is just me) when I refer to acid house I generally mean the late-80s Chicago variety, including Maurice Joshua's ode to his penile dimensions and JM Silk's "Music Is The Key", both non-303 tracks. However if I'm referring to the whole style of music that started with "Acid Trax" and includes "Bang the Acid", "Seawolf", "Acid Waves" and all the anonymous blank-label 303 stormers lurking in my record collection, I'll use the term "acid" instead. If the 303 is distorted, if the kick drum has that 1990s oomph rather than the 1980s punch, if there is no 808 or 707 in the mix, that's what more contemporary acid sounds like to me. But if there's a heavily compressed Linn snare, a punchy RZ-1 kick drum, more of a "jacking" than "flowing" rhythmic structure, and especially if there are vocals/samples, that's what 1980s "acid house" sounds like to me. It's all acid though!

Re: [313] off topic but fun nonetheless/acid
Personally I think the 303 defines the acid sound. If it was made yesterday and had nice tweaky 303 nd a nice kick I would say it was acid house I didn't like a lot of the distroted 303 stuff like drop bass/labworks I just found it took away from what the 303 sounded like Can't really get my head round records with no 303 being acid..

RE: [313] off topic but fun nonetheless/acid
The non-303 tracks that I'd count as acid house are very rare, and I think it's only very skilled producers who turned out tracks that still somehow sound "acid" even though there's no 303 in there. A lot of the time, though, you do find that a 303 is present in an almost subliminal way - maybe it's playing a bass part and not being tweaked, for example. The Maurice Joshua track named below actually does have a very subtle and quiet 303 part in it (or at least the version I have does), but "Music Is The Key" doesn't have one at all, even though the overall feel of the track is more spikey and synthy than most house tracks of the time, with that purposefulness of melody over rhythm that you get with classic acid house. Strangely enough, whenever that track 'plays in my head' I always imagine a 303 part in it, and am surprised when I listen to it and find no 303 at all... non-303 tracks I count as acid are so few, though, that you could probably call them "the exceptions that prove the rule". And I agree about the excess distortion etc on the 303 - another thing that separates acid house from more contemporary 1990s acid records is that a lot of 1990s stuff has quite monotonous, trancey patterns for the 303 rather than the out-and-out cheeky melodies used in the earlier Chicago stuff...
