RIP Acid Techno?

[rhythmtech]

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.

[rhythmtech]

dangerous turf? why? because labels sell?

"They just aren`t acid techno, not to me." - who decides what acid techno is? weren't you the one who was all for change? all for music moving forward?

maybe acid techno is still acid techno, maybe you've lost sight of what it is today?

i'm not saying its all amazing.. but it never was ALL amazing.. sometimes i think there's too much looking back at the hayday with rose tinted specs..

i was there in 97/98 just the same as you and a lot of people here were.. and believe me from where i was standing there were some right duffer tracks sitting alongside the topclass ones.. not much has changed. in every scene there's always gonna be good and bad.. and funnily enough everyones idea of good and bad are differant.

case in point - that "infect me with your love"

not my kinda tune at all, never played it, never will. but i've seen a dnacefloor lose it proper to that tune.. i've seen people with the same look on their face as i had the first tme i headr a cosmic trigger tune or a&e dept..

so looking at that, to me, the music is still doing the business.. which means that , harping back to the "its not intelligent.." ethos, the arguement here is futile for 2 reasons

1. im stoned

&

2. i've totally lost my train of thought
