Lack of releases...

I have been trying to learn Live and production in general for the past few months, but I'm not happy with how stuff sounds with software-only tracks. Still, I would suggest that anyone looking for new music give production a try. If we create music in our own mold, we can surely add some new blood to Acid. Maybe having the tracks sound home brewed is actually OK, as it's closer to the spirit of early Acid where people were producing raw music in their secret little studios.

My problem with vinyl is all down to price. Even if good releases come out, exchange rates mean that a single 12" is at least USD15 for me. That is just too pricey, and I must stick with digital now.

I quite agree. This hi fidelity things is all very well IF it provides the market with decent tunes but it doesn't. It provides humorless and pretentious tosh.

I was listening to a havok mix I did a while back and for all the technological advances in sound quality theory there's nothing on the horizon with the balls, spirit and humour of that stuff.

I'd gladly take a cut in sound quality for unforgettable tunes.

Have thought this of London Acid for years now. Think Smitten 51 (Clean & Green) was the last release I actually rated.

Acid is now a niche market. To be honest, I have got a lot of my best tunes in the bins of 2nd hand places. Seek and Ye Shall Find.

"To be honest, I have got a lot of my best tunes in the bins of 2nd hand places. Seek and Ye Shall Find."

I completely agree with this.

A lot of the best tunes that I have are from 1998-2002 period.
