I would highly recommend checking out Fred Gianneli's music on +8 and on his own sublabel off of +8 which is called Telepathic. Many know the label by the prominant catalog code of PSI which looks like LSD or actually "lSd" but upside down. Most of it is experimental acid, some tracks are very soft, beautiful and trancey while others are kinda hard and more dancefloor oriented. It's different than most experimental and intelligent techno that's out there mostly because it's dance floor friendly. There is a CD compilation of most of the earlier works called "Telepathic Wisdom". I really like the past several singles that have come out on the label as there are quite a few artists on there including Mark Gage. I think Fred has improved a great deal and has done really well for himself. Check out the discography on hyperreal.

I'm so sick of hearing this... I have all the so called acid house records that PTV put out and only one of them has an actual 303 used in it was the remix of Tune In. Honestly, I have quite a few acid house records from 1986 until present day and I have yet to see the influence that Gen had on any of it. As for the scene, people were having acid house parties long before Gen came along and decided to call it all his own as he does with most trends be it raves, piercings or whatever. As Dana indicated, I have no tolerance for Mr. P'Orridge either. I've heard several bad rumours even about how he screwed Silent Records out of lots of money and why his wife Alaura left him but I'm not one for gossip. ___ / / / / / / _ __/ (_/__/ / (__ (__ ___/
