hmmm.. reading over this, i don't get the feeling that the reply
was a personal afront.. in fact, i think it was a simple, informative
statement.. it's true, acid is certainly not a new thing.. be happy, the
replier could have bogged you down with references to early new wave acts,
something that i feel is rather over zealous.. what he did was to remind
everyone that the kind of stuff that many of these "acid innovators" are
doing is not particularly original.. the entire plastikman sound is a
continuation of the kind of stuff that Robert Owens did back in '85 ("in
the land"), and the entire hard/trak acid thing was tried many times over
by the likes of k alexi and poindexter.. Even the entire breakdown and
16th/32nd note snare build-up jerk off was already conceived by Conders in
"nervous acid".. alot of people don't know this stuff and falsely praise
the new jacks for a false genius.. however, this does not serve to
criticize was has been done recently.. personally, the word acid and the
word track can rarely be seperated, and a good track is always a nice
addition to the dancefloor.. however, a good song (not necessarily
verse/chorus) lasts forever.. i see the entire acid groove thing as simply
functional, in that it's fun to sway too.. however, i don't see it as
innovation.. the filter sweep is fun, but there's alot more to be done
sonically..
Anywho.. the kid was not out to dis you.. he was simply correcting
your misconception.. don't get frantic.. isn't this list here to teach us
all something?
