These are classics, these are history, these are simply ACIIID!!! From 80's to first 90's. Humanoid vs Stakker vs Kosmik Kommando vs AFX Click and vote. \/\/. |

I never listened to them... I think I should though. |

stakker humanoid. love that shit. I am sure you all know it is fsol but anyway. kosmik kommando was fucking awful in my opinion. I am going to flog my copies of the blue and red ones on ebay soon. What price should i ask for? |
||||||||

sorry man. got mixed up. that's universal indicators. still shit. |

humanoid |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
but aren't red and green by afx and blue and yellow by kosmik kommando? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I don't think it's ever been stated catagorically which is by which, and, in my uneducated opinion, I they are a mix of tracks by people at Rephlex with AFX and Kosmik Kommando at the helm. They probably can't even remember who switched on what drum machine. I don't want to be mean, Woofty, but when the poll title said Best early Acid Compilations... I was kind of expecting a broader choice than these. |

has some of the best acid tracks on it. trainspotters will be able to spot the mistake in the discogs listing :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or maybe i've made a mistake? les adams' remix of the maurice joshua track wasn't even made until the year after it was released so fuck knows how it appeared on the album. in fact i never knew it was les adams that made the remix, you learn something new everyday i guess. |

umm let me see with the current wave, analord that luke vibert EP kosmik kommando "adventures in the dynamic" whatever the shit mix cd um...some friends from philly who make acid... i guess not much really...it just REALLY bores me to tears...i love how people say its a "squelching acid bath" or something to that effect - to me thats like saying celine dion is hardcore |
||||||||
|

humanoid and stakker made me almost hate electronic music and according to some they're "essential" - weird |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's not... really it, is it? You've picked some new things, which are inspired by Acid in a broad sense, and then, to be fair the U.I's are kind of rudimentray, quite crude records... and then something that your mates have done. So when you say "acid is lame" you MEANT to say "I have no idea what acid house actually is but that won't stop me from writing it all off as lame". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well anything house is worthless from the get go...as i see it... im open to it...give me another "essential" release...ive give it a go im just saying from what i read, hear, and see people lose their minds over this stuff...and i simply do NOT get it...i feel left out :-( |

I was expecting the next poll to be about Campfire Headphase. Weird! |

|

How about Acid Jazz then? |
||||||||
|
|

|

i used to LOVE that shit when i was 15...seriously im not trying to be a dick...i really liked that stuff...opened me up to a whole need side of hip hop that was refreshing when it all started to go into jiggy, bling, holla type stuff ! |

Things like this combined the other day with someone saying Jeff Mills is a shitty trance DJ... lead me to believe that XLT members should have a mandatory music knowledge test. The results would then be analysed giving that person a rating from "Ignorant" to "Highly Informed" - this status would then accompany every post you make so people could decide whether to take what you say seriously, or as complete bum tripe. |

"Jeff Mills, along with Robert Hood, Carl Craig, and Joey Beltram, is one of the biggest American names in techno. Championed for his music's relentless pursuit of hardness and his stripped-down, almost industrial DJ sets, Mills is the latest in a long line of Detroit-bred talent to take on an international reputation. A founding member of noted Motor City institution Underground Resistance, Mills helped build the artist roster and label ideology (as well as much of its back catalog) with partners "Mad" Mike Banks and Robert "Noise" Hood before moving to New York in 1992 to pursue more vigorously his solo and DJ career (with a resident spot at the legendary Limelight and a recording contract with the noted German label Tresor). (Although rumors of bad blood between the early UR crew have been denied by all involved, Mills' decision to split was apparently total, with Banks all but repudiating his involvement with Mills and Mills distancing himself from the continuing political militancy of Banks and the UR organization.) Mills' UR-related releases (including "The Punisher" and "Seawolf") are stripped-down and erratic, fusing elements of hardcore acid and industrial techno to the sparse Detroit aesthetic. Not surprisingly, his post-UR sound hasn't eased a bit, although UR's penchant for the four-track has been replaced by higher-quality production." from www.allmusic.com - and im SURE they know more about music than you do do you like jeff mills? from his bio his shit sounds stupid...of course, as stated before, i think house is pretty silly and boring - would make sense why i feel this way towards "acid" and "detroit techno" !!! |

bump bump bump bump - isnt boring to you? retarded kids can clap in 4/4 fer'chrissakes |

|

I don't know what your point is. Are you saying Jeff Mills sounds lame now too just going by his bio? Are you saying you don't like Detroit Techno... Acid House... or anything vaguely stemming from House? Would it be easier to say what you do like? |

yes to be blunt, i hate house ! i want to understand what the big deal is behind acid cause i just dont get it...as apposed to giving up on it i wanna see if there is anything out there im really missing - i hate it when people dont get to hear a lot of the stuff i like and i wanna turn them onto new things - hence my issue w/ acid... where do i start with what i like...jesus the list is eternal...lately its been a lot of otis redding, willie nelson, johnny cash, marc hellner's new album is cool, vorpal is growing on me, softland, guided by voices, horace andy, the frogs, devendra banhart, bonnie prince billie, wire, the feelies, the books, beck, aretha franklin, al green, rolling stones, ben webster, clifford brown, awol one, circus, and some more old school hip hop for good measure...thats what ive been enjoying this week !!! |

Nice list. Well, to be honest, if you just don't like House or things like house or 4/4, which is your right of course, I can't think of anything, off of the top of my head, that's likely to change your mind, though I'm by no means an expert. To me it sounds like you don't like what's broadly termed "dance music". But let's use this opportunity, that Woofter squandered with his threadbare poll, to nominate Acid Classics. That comp that Earthleakage mentions below holds a few of the touchstone undisputable gems and founding fathers of Acid House from the off. |

i think i may have ADD, which sounds more ridiculous to me than to anyone - but people watch me hover around constantly and think im insane...or hyperactive... the point of this is i get bored REALLY quickly with music, UNLESS it moves me - i liked some basic dance stuff earlier on future sound of london, orb, chemical brothers, etc but got bored of it after about 2 years - graduated (i guess) to drum n bass, same thing, got bored, graduated to breakcore / ragga / etc - again got bored - it just really doesnt grab me with any lasting power - the surest way for me to lose interest is a 4/4 thud... trust me im fully aware this is in my head and not a normal reaction like most people have - i fell in love w/ a girl who loved house and it nearly killed...it gave me headaches (more than mashed up breaks and gabber-esque things do) ! right now im listening to daydream nation by sonic youth - fuck me what an album...i need to listen to sister when i get home ! |

||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|

eurotechno isn't a compilation, is it? in fact, it's not evn acid is it? i can't even remember what it sounds like. in FACT, i'd like to take this chance to complain that orbital (feeling) and the good version of slam are still unreleased despite being the best humanoid tracks in existance. explain that pls. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
correct. but the facts dont matter anymore, idm is dying, so let the facts slip a little |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
