I can recall when first hearing Todd Terry, thinking "this isn't house" (let alone "this isn't acid") cos my ears were fine-tuned to the Chicago sound. Yeah and his earlier LPs (Royal House, TT Project) include hip-hop style tracks. Oh, and evne though I did buy some crap back then I never found myself buying any PTV/GPO related stuff back in 88 or whenever. As far as I'm concerned that says it all.
