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...
2 Years ago i saw a liveset from Hardfloor and they actually did play
that track... I was almost embarrassed for just being there :)
More Acid classics: We are Phuture, Armando's Downfall
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!
Yup, i asked him that a few years ago when i did a little tour with
him. Most of those guys never used MIDI anyway until that period when
Djax re-released all those classics...
