PHUTURE - ACID TRACKS (1987) VINYL

LOL, you are totally right!!! :-)

Lol they were completely crazy to think that the 303 sound would replace a bassist! Thanks Roland 😁

The synth is an instrument,the people behind the roland synth created the genre. That's like saying the guitar or the piano,alone,birthed rock or jazz.

I remember being a 7 year old in ‘87, sitting in my aunts Corolla listening to this new mix tape she just made... wasn’t too impressed with most of it until this came on. Blew my mind... music like this didn’t exist! How’s that crazy sound being made?! Most Australians were listening to Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham. My 17 year old aunt introduced me to the future. Thank you Ang. You might have gone crazy in your 40s and disowned me over my sons Lego. 😬🙄 But I’ll always appreciate you for opening my ears and eyes. 🙏🏻

[@deceptioncxv6385]

I was 14 when my dad introduced me to the world of acid trax. We were moving house in 2014 and as we were bringing stuff in from the old house to the new one, my dad stumbled across his old cassette collections of the music he listened to in the '80s and 90's when he went to school and university. Stuff he'd forgotten about since CDs and online streaming became more popular. From rap/hip hop to house music to RnB and all types of genres, he found an untitled tape and his curiosity sparked. He put it in the cassette player we still had and lo and behold, acid house music. First track being Phuture's "Your Only Friend" and the track after being a Mike Dunn track. My dad certainly has a great taste of music. He used to tell me things about him moving to a new neighbourhood and he introduced acid house to his classmates at the time in high school, a town which never heard of this type of music before. I was born in 1999 and listening to stuff like this makes me wish I was around to experience the 80s and 90s. But listening to my dad reminisce is all I'm gonna get. 😁

[@JeremyThompson1978]

Here's the story of the first time Acid Tracks was played. Of course it was in my city, CHICAGO! "The guys immediately gave the cut to Ron Hardy, and he played it four times that night at Music Box. “It cleared the floor the first time and second time,” Pierre remembers. “The third time people acted as though he didn't play it a first or second. They acted as though they were hearing this track for the first time, and they were like 'This is hot!' It was as if the music infiltrated every single mind in the Music Box that night because by the fourth time, people were going bananas. Literally - it was surreal."

"Oh shoot, man. 'Acid Tracks' wasn't pre-programmed, man. 'Acid Tracks' was an accident, man. When you get an acid machine you don't pre-program anything. You just hit some notes on a machine, man. DJ Pierre, he was over and he was just messing with this thing and he came up with that pattern, man. You know, dah-dah-dah-gwon-gwon-gyown-gagyown. So we were listening to it, getting drunk, man. 'Hey, this is kinda hot, man. This is a great mood, man. Let's put it out. What the fuck?' You know? We played it at the Music Box, man, and everybody was flipping. When I did Sleezy D, 'I've Lost Control', man, that's got screaming in it. Really, I was trying to get a mood something like the old Black Sabbath records or Led Zeppelin. So that's how it got the name Acid Tracks, because it's supposed to put you in a mood, you know? For one thing, the tune is eleven minutes of the same thing. slight changes, but not that noticeable. Like when you listen to a real long solo in the old days, it's the same bassline going and everybody's doing something different over it. That's supposed to capture a mood. Now, what everybody thought acid house was after that was a drum machine and that acid machine, the Roland TB-303, which was not the truth. Acid house was meant to be the capturing of moods. You don't have to use the same machine all the time. You can use different instruments. I hate that machine with a passion now. Everybody's using it wrong. The way they're diong it now, it's not capturing any moods. It's disrupting thought patterns, man. That just hurts when you listen to it all night. It stabs your brain, man. You hear doh-doh-doh-doh-doh-dit and I hate it, you know, when it goes dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-wheoghwowowweogh. Oh man! It's like scratching a chalkboard with your fingers, man! Man, I HATE that." - Marshall Jefferson, 1988

It still amazes me this is from 87

Not really. It' sounds dated when put up against Blue Monday, released four years earlier. New Order sounded like the Future when I first heard them.

​@@rikardschumacher178 Nope. This track is is stripped down, raw , and brutal in a way that nothing like it before was. Entire genres were built off the sound of this track. Blue Monday was a brilliant combination of italo disco and post punk, but still drawing from the past.

@@rdubb77 Nope. This track is just copied the stripped down brutal raw sound Kraftwerk pioneered in the early 1970's ....

Way ahead of its time
