i think acid will evolve(or re-evolve) into a more minimal and fatter sound
at a slower tempo....135 is great for constructing funky and fat sounding tunes.
100% agreed. I have the feeling that the veteran London producers have different tastes now, and that the scene in general needs a change in direction. The side effect of doing slower, funkier tracks is that the tunes will get mixed in with sets outside of Acid techno, and maybe will help bring acid back.

I'm still dreaming of some hybrid of Acid and the intelligent (oh dear, did I just use that word) music from Extrawelt, Petter, Trentemoller, etc.. Some of the tunes released by these artists have achieved the headtrip of good Acid without needing a 303 pinned at max.

It's not all about the 303 in the end. But it IS about a cerebral lead that serves the same effect. Maybe it's a really distorted metallic synth. Hell, maybe it's even a human voice made to twist all around and **** with our heads.

Experimentation and all that.
