RIP Acid Techno?

[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

I think I was on that train, but I was hiding in the toilet, cos I didn`t have a ticket.
But someone with diaohrea wanted in, and just as I left, the ticket inspector got me, and chucked me of at Woking.
Which is a hideous place to be at this time of thought.

Went with Paul Cortex to a club in Reading, where he was playin, called Plug n Play...

Started off with an hour of hard dance, then it was straight into acid techno, all the way...:)

Looked at each other sayin, 'recognise this tune- recognise that tune..'.. People jumpin around all over, all quite young so were all quite fresh with it...

The girl who's night it was loves acid techno with a driving passion n said it was the only reason she was putting these nights on, so that she can hear it in it's right environment..

Good stuff.... n not a jaded palett in the place:exclaim:
