Phuture - Acid Tracks (1987)

[tkjpop]

Hard to believe this was made in 1987...

[HartRaver]

@tkjpop Yeah..it´s easy to understand what impact it had due to a totally new sound compared to what was hot in 1987...no wonder it was played in the underground for years..the commercial world wasn´t ready for this...and hopefully never will be !!

[sleepsurfsex]

atari song

[HybOj]

I bow down and knee on my knees

[HybOj]

@HybOj Maximum respect, this guy was way ahead of his time, this is a banger!

[keunes]

@HybOj

they were 5 years 2 late in fact:

A1 - 33rpm - Raga Bhairav [Charanjit Singh - Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat (1982)]

[HybOj]

@keunes wow thanks for the insight, I have never heard that song and its really really something! thanks

[thtrausan1]

This was the first acid track and it was made by mistake, when the producer was learning to use the synth and the synth was not meant to sound like this. Think about it.

[ElektroNoiser]

Amazing rubber!

[Gehenna71]

16 and going wild!!!

Once I took one of my friends to La Bush ... she was RUNNING back home when she saw that place and heard the music :)

[SuBrainAche]

Oh my god !! David Guetta is castrated !

[FViverosFilms]

pffffffffffff this is sick as hell,, I love it

[nikito370]

Amazing!!!

[Avaturo]

1987, I stride into discotheque "Prestige" Antwerp - Belgium. This track slammed on the turntables. Started my Acid trip right then & there @ Warp speed, Haven't got back to earth yet!

[Gehenna71]

@Avaturo I can't remember where I was first, in Prestige or La Bush?

[TheYersinia666]

I was born in 91 :(. Such a pure mindblowing track. So damn awesome!

[djloungeX]

X-times digitized, the whole depth is lost. This way, we can't exlain our children, why we were completly knocked out by this track and started a whole new movement. You need to listen to this on vinyl. Sometimes, analog rules. The Roland TB 303 is simply not compatible with digital recording. Sounds strange in our times, with 24 bits and more, but it's a fact. What ever codec you use, its not the same as the original. Nevertheless, thanks for uploading, better than nothing.

[karinoiseluzinda]

cat on acid from Procatinator anyone?

[ItaloDiscogs]

1987 !!! amazing O - O

[wuheheehahahahaha]

Reminds me of Lyte Funkie Ones, An Its older than me like my fav stuff from them.

[ScyL0n]

gee why is it so repettitive? the sound is good! but not very creative!!

[klownck]

@ScyL0n are you dumb.. this an a couple of other tracks spawned the acid house genre.. dumbass

[zzalybyrd]

@ScyL0n oh wow

[ScyL0n]

Love it...... crispy acid so cool. modern artists should do more like this!!!

[superviews]

groundbreaking.



[maxsafe]

This is what ChiTown Acid House is all about my friends...

[djboz3002]

this is a great record , but not the beginning out the house movement, there was many song before this

[djboz3002]

CLASSSSSSICCCCCC!!!!!!! I USE TO PLAY THE HELL OUTTA THIS RECORD

[cheechierocks]

[JavaSpitLava]

[JoeAcid69]

Acccciiiieeeedddd ! 1987 Thursdays in the disco OZ in Stuttgart/Germany with a lot of Poppers!

Do you remember ;-)

[FlamingFairy]

Heaven, London, 1988 - this was MASSIVE, everyone doing that spazmodicalistic acid house dance, dry ice, lazers - oh happy day

[djezballz666]

the 303 supposedly used on this song is on ebay for $10k!!!!!! WTF

[ezetobebad]

Without doubt ...this is a proper acid house track, not to everyones taste ...but I love it. I had many a good night off my face moving to the intricacies in this track.

As a previous poster stated, by 1992 the originality of the underground dance scene was dying on it's feet imho. .....but by then I had done my bit .

[stekel60]

1987,is kinda old style ok maybe not the birtday of the first track but so what.....

love it,if was yesterday!!

[fret73bleep]

[OrchidRecords]

[movkalo]

@OrchidRecords Ahhh, No Way Back... I used to DJ in Chicago in the late 80's and early 90's and didn't know that. Thanks.

[BennOliverr]

[MrJurre]

@gadgetgirl23 I listen mostly Dubstep and appreciate this right now! So i'm sure she will sometime to!

[SiliconHearts]

@gadgetgirl23 she would probably appreciate this now, this is a hot house track

[4stardust2]

[aschwinwesselius]

Tracks like this makes your mind trying to connect with all it's synapses to gather and party...

[aschwinwesselius]

People who dig this sure love Solar Quest - Acid Air Raid: v=AtQRMqPjrmM

[joscros77]

The birth of Acid House.

[markwarren38]

reaches into your brain and messes with yur head mind blowing and im loving it

[WYM22]

Thank you Chicago for giving the world House music

[moskolok0]

mis respetos que hijo de puta temaaa

[professorquack]

To let a track ride for 12mins like this, imagine being in a club in the late 80's hearing this for the first time after the typical house track at the time. I would be like this is cool but after 5 minutes I'd be like this is INSANE and hope it never ends!!!!

[helosix]

@professorquack It sure was... clubs were wall to wall bodies, hot as hell, no lights besides maybe a strobe or two, the crowd becomes one....

[Gehenna71]

@professorquack Exactly. Please note in those days we had the real xtc, not the bad derivates you get now ...

[TheGeraldemerald]

@professorquack I first heard this in Heaven in London in '92 when I was 15 and I can honestly say without hyperbole that it totally changed my life. I used to spend whole evenings with 2 copies of it on my decks just mixing it!!! Hard to believe Pierre & Spanky made this in '85!!!

[humanalive]

Aciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieee­eeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddddd



[TheMorris901]

out of reality...... incredible......

simply the best track

[sine0]

[WilderelAchaiah]

CHICAGO HOUES MUSIC WILL HAVE YOU ''AWE-STRUCK'' I LOVE MY CITY.

[openuniverse2003]

More mindlessly boring than Philip Glass. WORTHLESS. Waste of YouTube server space.

[roel123456]

@openuniverse2003

How can you say that....This track gave birth too all house music......

They should have closed your universe in 2003!!!

[32beatsmaster]

@roel123456 Correction Larry Heard aka Mr. Fingers - Can you feel it. Gave birth to House Music remember Jack?

[motorbikel]

@roel123456 well yes it's aka mr. fingers but this track kicks the living daylights out of mr. fingers but they both still jack dont they? thanks roel greets, michael.

[Mocib]

@roel123456 This track did not give birth to all House music. Read up on the history some more :)

[roel123456]

@Mocib jezus fucking christ... what is wrong with you people? I also know that this was not the first house track ever made. But you all have to agree that this record was a huge turning point in the music history!! More so then the other house tracks that were made round that time. That's all I ment to say.

[stekel60]

@roel123456 Yeahhhh--- like that bro!!!

All the best!,

let,s get it on...

;-))

[jasonsaggs]

@roel123456 ahhh hmmm your quote "This track gave birth too all house music......" not quite right. Sorry. This gave birth to Acid House but House derived from Disco...started way before this...peace.

[Complekx]

@roel123456 No it did not ....

Learn the past before you roll around with these comments

[CitizenofTatooine]

@openuniverse2003

shut up

[openuniverse2003]

@CitizenofTatooine It's okay to cry, loser.

[TheSilverDubber]

Still faquin, COSMIC!!

[Hansibansi100]

Best Time ever !!!!

Sometimes i wish it back....

[Meshmind]

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like this song was quite ahead of its time... Phuture.

[LJMARS]

ive been needing this music i just didnt know it, i feel so much better i am hearing it, last time i heard this was maybe 1988, or 198999897 and thats in the future!!!

[KarzenX]

I could play this anywhere tonight and it would rock the joint asunder.

[LJMARS]

@KarzenX  Yes they would want more!!

[MrMASSIMOVIVONA]

[irdial]

Modern Art.

[chetancisco6893]

marijuana !!!  \m/

[saturn1returns]

My version lasts for 12.20 minutes?

I was rushed to hospital last night and the health care professionals informed me that it was a suspected tb - 303 overdose and first case in the United Kingdom.

I was quite shook up by it all. Well done *NHS for bringing me back to consiousness *(National House Service)

[MrMattpjl]

That's it. I always struggled to generalise the genre that is Acid House, but the previous poster has smacked that nail on the head. It will always be the future.

GET RIGHT ON ONE MATEY!!!

[TwintopTigra]

ACID... that's it...nothing else and it will never be overruled by any other sound!

[hadtomakeonetowatch]

this is fantastic

[tetro13]

бля только не 87 а 85 год !!! выкладываете что то сука хоть пробейте откуда взялось

[icecubes214]

Will forever be the shit... Man listening to this brings back so many memories of the house music era, whether it be acid, deep house, or hip house, It will forever be HOUSE. ... House head for life...

[radiodarkhorse]

I remember being very stoned on hot knifes once listening to this

[malabus]

@radiodarkhorse

LOL Hot Knives.....we were so young LOL *cough cough*

[0The0Web0]

the number one acid classic...still one of the best acid tracks EVER !!

[metamaggot]

just listen to that slow left/right panning in it ....

[martin3031]

at the 1:20 mark i can feel the shivers pulsing through my body, gradually getting more and more intense.

[nicknameSGB]

Acid will never happen again! It may be played in clubs but will not be like it was back then! Sorry...:)

[pfhatty]

@nicknameSGB you're getting old. acid is always and ever shall be. or something a bit like that anyway. yeah. old guy.........

[nicknameSGB]

@pfhatty lol - I love acid music, it just won't have the same impact as it did back in the late 80's!

[keywestWTF]

Oh fucking hell yeah ....

[Stevemind88]

Man now thats PROPER MUSIC.

Acid will NEVER die.

[heelandtoe33]

I can only imagine being in a club in Chicago in 1987, and hearing this track on a big system for the first time. It must have totally blown people away. 24 years old in 2011, and still sounds modern. Amazing.

[EARQUENCHER]

@heelandtoe33 ..yes this song made everyone go bananas....we slam dance off of this track..its a chicago house classic track

[MrAcidTechno]

[aeschhere]

rock and roll was never the same . I like how this piece and it's cousins invaded our musical imaginations . So that even if you dance with your maiden aunt you can appreciate the latest developments in astrophysics .

[ezetobebad]

Fantastic ride

[mrkaic]

Every time I here the Alpha Track I get get goosebumps. Every. Single. Time.

[mrkaic]

[oc1906]

What'a ride :)

[MonkeyBoy00000000000]

Acid was the defining turning point in my taste in music. This is the true beginning of Acid house and all things there after.

[DEAKTOR]

This kind of music is my only drug! Inexpensive and efficient.

[napalmenema1]

Over 20 years old and still sounds like the future.

[martynpank]

@napalmenema1 Indeed! Still listening today! .....& it's 24 years later! Wow, what a realisation!

[pizzaman2o1o]

@napalmenema1 *the phuture

[hofmann308]

@napalmenema1 L = drug of the future ::

[d1rtydirt]

it bothers me that people say there isn't quality music like this being produced anymore. the sounds of quality acid house and techno are still out there, go find them!

[koskoz]

Oh shit, I've seen DJ Pierre at the I Love Techno 2010 in the Red Room. That was some fucking great great techno with heavy bass.

[G3NT3K]

@koskoz

Sorry to disappoint you but that was a different Pierre, he's a minimal dj from Belgium.. His set was amazing though, it saved my 'I Love Techno'..
