acid that isn't minimal and lo fi very often ends up sounding like trance. modern production methods mean you have to be very careful what you do with a 303.
as for early acid being anemic--are we talking home listening or on the dancefloor? acid is killer on a loud system. whereas most modern production sounds anemic on the dancefloor. given the overproduced nature of so much contemporary music chicago acid sounds so fresh and energetic on dancefloors nowdays. on the night of the meteor shower (about 5 months ago) i was booked to play a warehouse party in brooklyn. when i turned up it was full of indie rock kids listening to some hip hop. it didn't look very promising at all. i thought i'd last 15 minutes before being kicked off. i played chicago acid and people went wild. the crowd wouldn't let the dj scheduled after me onto the decks. the power of chicago acid made converts of rocks kids that had dismissed dance music. so anybody in australia up for some acid? james www.jbucknell.com > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2002 16:47:07 -0000 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [email protected] > Subject: RE: [313] acid (house) > > | -----Original Message----- > | From: Klaas-Jan Jongsma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > | Sent: 07 March 2002 16:44 > | > | >imo "acid trax" wasnt that great of a song. it merely > | > opened the door to a new sub genre > | > > | >I think it was all 707 and 303 too. very amenic. > | > | I Know you can't argue about taste but when Acid Tracks was released > | this was a kick-ass record.
