Maybe so, but back in the days of 1987-1989 acid house was terminology used
to describe a whole music style, not just the 303 sound. The term acid
was also used as slang to reffer to "burning" (stealing bits of other
peoples records). Therefore records catorgorized as "Acid House" didn't
necessarily have to be full on 303 assaults. Also the term "Acid" was
mis/interpreted to relate to lsd, which regardless or not of proper use
it had a big influence on the psychedelic properties addtributed to "Acid
House" music and parties.

Hey there,
I don't know Genesis or anything but I feel he
is one misunderstood guy. Therefore I will defend
him a little bit. Here is the story i know on Gennesis's/
Psychic Tv's influence into the Acid House scence. When he/they were in
Chicago they went into a few record stores and heard some acid house,
they thought this is cool shit, so they bought about 3 crates full of
records and brought them back to England. Most of these records were
white labels with the words "Acid" stamped on them. So they thought this
was a reference to "lsd" hence their "acid" music is more or less
psychedelic rather than 303 tracks. Anyway at this time, a guy called
Tim Sinemon (Bomb the Bass) was hanging around and babystitting Genesis's
kids. Timmy was played a lot of those records and
got a lot of ideas from them to make Bomb the Bass
material such as "Beat This". I guess Mark Moore
from S-Express also heard some of these tracks and
started S-Express. Who really gives a shit about
all this stuff, but to say that Psychic TV didn't
contribute to "Acid House" would be an
understatemnet in my opinion. Just thought I would
share my views and shit with you. I personally think the limited
definition of
"acid" has hampered the creativiy and diverstity of tracks that are "Acid
House" influenced. How about some 303 tracks that are not just variations
of Phuture-Acid Tracks etc.
