Half of the so called New Beat artists were the same few producers under
different names. Some of that shit sucked so bad, but there are some good
tracks that flew under the new beat flag.
Here is a few New Beat tracks that I am not afraid to admit I liked/still
like somewhat
Jesus Loves the Acid-Ecstacy Club
Acid in the House-Miss Nicky Trax
20-Acid to body
I sit on Acid-Lords of Acid (I will admit it, I liked it a lot when it came
out, go ahead and call me a sucker :) )
Frank de Wulf-Acid Rock (back to that Frank de Wulf thread)
Pluto-Isn't It Crazy
Rythym Kings-A La Recherche du Temps Perdue
Out of the Ordinary-play it again
Technoid-technoid

AMEN!!!
Goa should die about as quick of death as New Beat as well, or maybe the
more original sounding goa stuff will mold into something different.
