So it wasn't a hoax... acid house officially started with a Bollywood session musician in Acton in 1981.

Mm..yeh, sort of kind of nearly. I wouldn't say he invented acid house at all. Anyone who bought a 303 back then (1981) and turned it on and used a drum machine also 'invented' acid house. He wasn't making in the wider context of stripping down disco records and dancing in E to foster a new repetitive aesthetic was he ? Negotiating raga scales is a centuries old technique, not particularly recontexualised by looping a samey off the shelf disco beat to it. Phuture is where it started and to my mind has rarely been equaled in the genre.
It is very much back in vogue and rightly so, I for one never tire of it, and I think we'll see more and more unknown early 80s avant garde tracks crawl out of the woodwork with their embryonic attempts to gain some traction, but it'll always be Phuture.

that's not acid house - that's just arsing around with a drum box and synth. Might as well have used a casiotone for all the originality therein...
- more arsing around with a tr-303, casiotone and other stuff. and about as influential.

i feel like im back in some 1980's arcade spot playing OUT-RUN and there is a roller skate rink just a few yards from me and i got my quads on and this track hits and everyone hits the rink and crashes into the floors and stuff cause we suck at roller skating.. so we head back to the arcade and switch back to some shinobi game..

When I lived in Madison, WI, there was a house on the east side covered in insanely strange paintings, they looked like they were done by somebody on LSD, so it was commonly known as "the acid house"...
I think it was officially called "the museum of temporary art" or something like that, as there were new paintings every so often...
