RIP Acid Techno?

[dirty_bass]

@ dirtybass

im sorry but thats toss.

there are plenty of producers new & old doing the acid thing and doing it very well. the "oldschool" producers might not be as inventive as they were at one stage but they still come up with some classics now and again..

just look at route 59, suf 87, suf 84, suf 82 (to name but a few) & tunes like DTD's "hotwire" on infectious clearly show that acid CAN cross over into differant genres and still be outstanding.

to say that theres only 1 (new) producer doing it well is a serious insult to the likes of dogwash, KN, rhythm logistics, AP, myself or anyone else that is doing their thing (im not taking anything away from paul - he does it very well & is definitly up there).

but as with everything else the public vote with their feet and they're still voting acid..

Toss to you, truth to me.

I don`t see anyone making good acid techno.
Just my opinion.

There`s some good techno on some of those labels, but it isn`t acid.

exactly.. its just your opinion. and considering you seem to have the same opinion about most techno then y not just give it a rest?

for years the acid scene has endured bad attitude from techno "purists" and "elitists" (elitists is your own description of yourself in another thread remember). but having been involved in this perticular scene, you surely should know that the purist and elitist opinion isnt worth a toss.

I musta really got your goat up huh?

I don`t have the same opinions about techno at all.

I love what I love.

this is a forum, and it`s for discussion.

As far as I remember we are all free to have an opinion.

Mine disagrees with your opinion, but there`s no reason to get all stroppy, I mean really, I thought acid techno people were supposed to have a sense of humour and fun? compared to all us miserable techno people.

shouldn`t you be shouting something about "it`s not intelligent, and it`s not from detroit, but it`s ****ing having it" ?

I dunno, I`m off to polish my elitist badge.

its not about getting my goat up.. its about you going around disprespecting people that put work into what they love. its perfectly acceptable to have an opinion on something but theres a way to deliver it and IMO your delivery is quite crass and disrespectful (just my opinion of course)

[dan the acid man]

Covering yourself by putting IMO after something is worthless really when you think about it, everything we say or write on here is only our opinion.

We've had this discussion alot on here, i agree with alot of what Steve has said, it's easy to see why the london producers have changed, if they hadn't im sure alot of people here would be saying " why does *insert name here* always produce in the same style.

[rhythmtech]

the IMO was ironic/sarcasm.. whichever fits best :briggin:

and its not about london producers that i disagree.. its saying that 1 perticular producer is the only one making anything good.. clearly this isnt the case, or the labels wouldnt exist.

as the saying goes - opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one... doesnt really mean i wanna go round staring up every ugly arsehole that i see though

[dirty_bass]

. clearly this isnt the case, or the labels wouldnt exist.

dangerous turf there

In my opinion Westlife make nothing but purile shite.
But their label still exists, and sells loads.

I`m not in dispute over the wether the records are good or not anyway.

They just aren`t acid techno, not to me.

But hey, what does it matter what I think really.

everyone is gonna play follow the leader regardless.
