[djmurderbysound]

it was down to some of these acid tracks from 86-88 being bad pressings too,crackling+dirty sounding made it feel so correct if you know what i mean,lol....

[djmurderbysound]

its all down to these old tracks sounding+feeling dirty,some were poor productions+it made the old acid of 86-88 feel correct,if you get what i mean.....??

[HowlingMoonCinemas]

I love these Oldskool Techno synth basses! They sound SOOO much better than the crap we're stuck with listening to on the radio now days! What the hell happened!? It's like we now have an unbelievable drop in technology or something! HAHAHAA!! I'm not kidding!

[michael6mac]

@HowlingMoonCinemas Acid House was like music being set to zero again - all you needed was a bassline and drums and a bit of vocals. These days it's all over produced and the rough edges are processed out - back then most Acid house wasn't even played on the radio.

[HowlingMoonCinemas]

@michael6mac !!??? HAHAHAA!! What are you!? DEAF and RETARDED!!?? Can't you understand music!?? Listen to those melodies (of older music, such as this one)! Listen to those complex beats and high-quality, smooth, synth sounds! They don't have this kind of quality anymore! Instead, we got that new, fucking distorted, harsh, new kind of saw effect on EVERYTHING! And the "RADIO"!!?? MY GOD!! The radio always plays the WORST shit out there! Why? Because, most people are fuckwit, brainwashed zombies!

[michael6mac]

@HowlingMoonCinemas Mmm I didn't see this response till now, it didn't come through to my account, If I'd have seen it I wouldn't have put the invite through! For some reason only the polite message came through! Music today is more processed I don't know what Saw sound you are talking about? Or are you talking about that auto-tune effect that is on everything these days!

[HowlingMoonCinemas]

@michael6mac By the way, "auto-tune"?? HAHAHAA!! What the fuck!?? Are you using a beginner's keyboard/software or something? What the hell is that!?? Let me brake things down for you so that you can understand them. The effect's I'm talking about are called LFO's. There are 7 main types of waveforms used for creating a synth sound. Sine, triangle, SAWtooth, square, trapezoidal, chaotic, and step. The names simply describe the shape and flow of the waves. Each waveform distorts...

[HowlingMoonCinemas]

@michael6mac CONTINUED

synthetic sounds in a different way. The square wave, for example, creates a sort of xylophone-like sound. Nintendo used this type of waveform for most of its sounds. Now, a saw, in these times (modern times), is like the sound of a guitar distortion. Harsh and unclear, and it completely ruins the clarity of other sounds. This is what has been used many times in modern dance music. However, it used to have a very smooth and beautiful tone.

[michael6mac]

@HowlingMoonCinemas Howling at the moon dude! ;)

[HowlingMoonCinemas]

@michael6mac You're howling at the moon? Good for you, but go easy on the beer, you don't want to get taken in for disturbing the peace.

[HowlingMoonCinemas]

@michael6mac I just got to say a little more, because I just can't believe how stupid you are! HAHA!! Oldskool house, techno, and electro just about always have had very special melodies and synth sounds. You DO know that melody is a form of message given by music, right? Can you understand the difference between a happy melody and a sad one? If you can't, you're a DUMBFUCK that shouldn't say a WORD. How about a sinister one and one with an expression of power? I doubt you understand music.

[michael6mac]

@HowlingMoonCinemas Ha ha! I didn't see this either as it didn't come through to me, I'll excuse that you probably was drunk! lol - you sure is Howlin' man!

[HowlingMoonCinemas]

@michael6mac Nope! I don't even drink! YOU'RE the one that's probably drunk! You even sent me a friend invitation! HAHAHAA!!

[HowlingMoonCinemas]

@michael6mac One last thing. The basslines were SPECIFICALLY one of the most amazing elements of oldskool house and techno. They didn't just back up a track, they gave a sense of sheer cunning. Picture a ninja blocking, deflecting, and evading attacks, it's kind of like that. More simply put, it's SHOWING OFF. Let's take "Egma - Let The Bass Kick (Extended mix)" for example. Now there's a bassline with a fighting spirit, so to speak. It's part of the awesome power of oldskool rave.

[scottiec1971]

@ stephen  no that is incorrect. They were known as Nexus 21 before becoming Altern 8

[1988acid]

Acid was good and bad.

[n136ha]

did this lot become altern 8?

[stephen88hox]

@n136ha yes this is before they went altern8

[scottiec1971]

@stephen88hox

no stephen...They were Nexus 21 before they were Altern 8

[sponooch]

strange but great track

[CodeAlpha77]

is this the same "nexus 6" that made tres chic or time chic ??

[DjChoci]

no it isn't

[gellieuno121]

takes me back to RAINBOW and JENELLS!

[audilab]

thats not acid ,definately not a tb303

[RealFreshBlog]

Acid does not have to be strictly a TB303 ;)

[durkit]

Definitely acid, nice one. Never heard this before.

[KyokoAnenokoji]

TB303?

[laurypascu]

True enough, but the TB303 is the best for the job. This track is like making Spagetti Bolognese with soya mince.

Nice one though...

[oldcomforter]

nice to mix it up

[Output9]

Acid was a youth culture, a movement, not a single instrument.

[flidsticks]

True, but it all started with DJ Pierre et al messing with a 303.

[Output9]

@flidsticks,

False, Adonis' Two The Max & The Poke (heavy use of the TB303) were released 1986

DJ Pierre didn't release Acid tracks until 1987, A year later. Fact...

[flidsticks]

I'm not disputing dates. If you want to go back even further, Heaven 17 used a 303 for the bassline of their track Let Me go back in 1982 (they had one of the first 303 units in the UK). Should we crown them the inventors of acid? As unjust as it may appear, it's the person who breaks into the general consciousness that gets credited with creating something new, not necessarily the people like Adonis who may have done it first. Beltram, May & Atkins are the names that spring to mind first.

[oldcomforter]

@flidsticks

in fact, Adonis ~is~ the name the springs to mind when you say "acid".

Adonis is the Godfather of Acid.

I would add Pierre and maybe Marshall Jefferson as well.

May and Atkins, while also amazing forefathers, are Detroit Techno pure and simple, not really acid per se.

[flidsticks]

@oldcomforter: Fair enough, I stand corrected.

[Wedneswere]

@flidsticks you my as well sit, though...

[sponooch]

@flidsticks

i think dj pierre was the first to name it acid.. but he did not made the first acid track actualy

[stephen88hox]

@audilab they prolly plugged a keyboard into the 303 or some other instrument
