I agree - and I'd lump "Box Energy" in there as well. In a sense, it's the
anaemic nature of those early acid records that makes them all the more
atmospheric. "The lo-fi ethic", you'd probably call it, worked pretty well
in acid. By the time the genre had evolved to Hardfloor remixing "Yeke
Yeke", a lot had been lost...

Speaking of anaemic production values - is it true that Steve Poindexter's
"Work this Mutha" was recorded using *only* a Casio RZ-1? It wouldn't
surprise me to be honest!
