haha,long live acid house..
It was far too short-lived a trend when it first arrived, and to be honest, only a minority of aficianados really had any great understanding of how it worked.
Now, 15,16 years later, a whole new generation has 10 years production, clubbing and listening under their belts, and I for one still very much get off on the new repressings of the old future stuff..
As with every 'movement'. there is a fair amount of dross, in so far as labels need to make quick cash and not every marketable producer can be Todd Terry, nonetheless, Im excited to hear the demise of the 80s pop sound into something more hypnotic and groovy. Acid house is a tough one to bring to a new audience, or for radio play as it doesnt rely on catchy hooks and formulaic programming, which is really its whole appeal.
Its long been time to unwrite some of the rules of dance music, and have a cull. :PNo flashbacks here either Im afraid. Might be something to do with the fact that all the acid I ever did was metabolised within 4 hrs of me taking it, like everyone else.
I did think I could fly and jumped out of a window, though.
