DAVE the Drummer - We Are Acid

[Si the Sigh]

i've been listening to a lot of old skool recently
really minimal innit?

I went through loads and loads of old stuff last night, most if I'm honest were tracks by Lawrie, and they are all minimal as hell, but still avin'it. Check these out:

http://www.discogs.com/release/31677 - B side.
http://www.discogs.com/release/21807 - B side.
http://www.discogs.com/release/20091 - B side.

And some tracks that are seriously "druggy" sounding, real out there tracks, sonic soundscapes, still quite minimal in a way, tracks that just keep going and going, getting you in the zone when on the dance floor, the thing that makes the UK sound so special IMO:

http://www.discogs.com/release/49959 - A side.
http://www.discogs.com/release/34525 - B side.
http://www.discogs.com/release/47341 - A side.
http://www.discogs.com/release/21801 - A side.
http://www.discogs.com/release/16268 - B side.
http://www.discogs.com/release/11950 - which ever side has that smoke detector sample (trippy!)

Very interesting...

And yeah, that dark, trippy acid sound will always be welcome.

Those tracks on Discogs:

"Splinter" is really stripped down, yet still seems to make it into every session I have. And that acid line isn't cliche screaming, it's more of the growly sort.

I've been thinking about "Control" lately... I found this old track Voodooamt - "Voodoo" (No Soul Mix) that has the same deathray synth sounds in it. Maybe Henry is/was a Patrick Lindsey fan?

Personally, I would love to hear really deep stuff like that whole Minilogue, Petter, etc. sound, but a bit faster and heavier on the acid. Maybe Henry is headed this way... i know i'll get slagged for this, but it seems to me that said sound has some commercial (read: $$$) appeal while also having integrity.
