Groundbreaking record that invented an entire youth movement anyone?
Phuture's Acid Trax was released in 1987, twenty three years ago. Listening to it now it still sounds like the future.
DJ Pierre, Spanky and Herb J invented acid house with this record, and it was partly by accident, twiddling and abusing knobs on the Roland TB 303 Bass Synthesiser to get that squelch. Then realising the squelch was the thing. I love happy accidents. It's minimalist, it's funky, it's trippy, it's loud. It's one of those records that fills any room it's being played in.

That was quick Drew.
Kids are in bed, wife's away at a conference, bugger all else to do but check up on the blogs. I suppose i could be cleaning up the detritus caused by the kids today but then again I will just have to do it all again tomorrow.
Leave it, who's to know?
