Love the way the most famoud acid techno acts - the liberators and Stay up forever arent mentioned - but a load of IDM nobodies are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.26.28 (talk) 20:56, 30 June 2017 (UTC) Can anyone maybe add in some details of what truelove records is, and how it encompasses the labels mentioned on the page like hydraulix and cluster[reply]

Also the Mark Tyler link goes to the footballer, they are probably not the same person.

^ Like he said. Completely left out. Go ahead and read about the Truelove Label Collective on Discogs.com.

I 've signed in just to point out the awful articles about acid house and acid techno. ..Who wrote these???

In the acid house page all i see is talk about drugs and parties. Full of innuendos.. "simplicity" "reliable exclusively on the 303" and just spiteful. Here too is pretty much the same kinda ignoramus attitude in writing an article about something you don't know and you haven't listen to.

<<In London, acid techno is considered a less repetitive sound than many other forms of techno>>oh really? by whom? are you implying that repetition is a problem somehow with techno specifically? what does that mean.. that it's less bad??

<<The term "Acid" music derives from the word acid from Lysergic Acid or more commonly known as LSD as the music is intended to give users of this medicine an enhanced experience while listening or dancing to this music whilst on LSD.>> in the words of Steve Martin: "oh nnnnooooo"

"Acid techno continues to be mainly a fairly underground form of music with little commercial impact." so that's what music is aiming for? commercial impact? hhh

as usual the examples are pretty much off. AFX is mainly an IDM producer, duh. What about them Liberator DJs, D.A.V.E. the Drummer, Geezer, Rowland the Bastard, Lawrie Immersion, Lochi, DDR, Ant, Jon the Dentist.. ?

i mean ..c'mon! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acidcoleman (talk • contribs) 02:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC) I wouldn't know what to put, but the article underemphasizes the differences between acid techno and acid house. Acid house tracks don't just "have vocals," they have almost all the characteristics of house, only with a 303. Techno and house are pretty distinct from each other, and that's just as true when your instruments are a 909 and 303 as anything else. Acid techno is tracks like Claude Young's "Acid Wash Conflict." Acid house is tracks like "Acid Tracks" by Phuture. Sure, there's some similarity, but they have a very different feel. One is abstract, mechanical and futuristic, the other fun, soulful and funky. --67.169.197.179 (talk) 05:31, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Elaboration

I shall now elaborate on my blurb regarding popularity. I've seen elements of acid techno creep up in songs by Venetian Snares, and Squarepusher; hence being absorbed into other genres. And I've also seen a revival of the classic acid techno sound (which has many similarities to the old-school acid house sound) by the same Venetian Snares frontman in his associated act; Last Step. Luke Vibert has also famously revived acid techno. Plastikman is a different story. He has more combined minimalist techno with the acid sound (techno). To anybody who wants to rebut this discussion and said edit, you know what, back it up and provide a reference. Because I have been a keen observer of acid, and that's what I've found to be true. Just... man up! And back it up! Lighthead ^þ 07:17, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Venetian Snares, and Squarepusher; did not make acid techno - at all. IDM maybe - yes they had a 303 - but they didnt make acid techno - that was Stay UP FRever etc - totally different vibe.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.233.34.105 (talk) 02:04, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, like I mentioned in the edit summary; you're not gonna find a reference saying anything! Trust me, I just looked. Lighthead ^þ 07:21, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

^greets and all, let's talk a bit on that. i don't plan on writing an article or looking for references ..just trying to "get my imput across" on the matter.

there's a lot more acid feel that most people think. some epic tracks are in fact acidic in nature: we have arrived, energy flash, crispy bacon. acid broke into mainstream ever since the 80s, way into the eurodance and pop areas. the "classic acid techno sound" you're talking about is harsh and industrial. in germany (frankfurt - new zone) and belgium (new beat) acid evolved and took shape. in the us, the midwest and new york scenes developed their own. there wasn't an inventer..

I'm no DJ, but would you really call Energy Flash "acid tekno"? To me it's just tekno. The fact that the sample says "Ecstasy" backs up the fact that to me, it's more of an E rave anthem, as opposed to what I'd call proper acid tekno like the Liberators and that London Underground sound. For me, you want the pounding, squelching 303. Mescalinum United - We Have Arrived does have that squelchy acid sound, but also has that pounding, kick drum bassline that led towards Gabba. As such, it's sort of half-way between Energy Flash and the Liberator 303 acid tekno sound in which the acid line, not the bassline, predominates.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Should London Underground Acid have its own page? Ganpati23 (talk) 20:25, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

acid labels had their unique, defining sound. direct drive, analog, brooklyn groove, drop bass network; dj.ungle, labworks, force inc, djax-up beats, acid planet and so on and so forth. a ton of lables.. still loved, still played. the revival of acid - if there ever was one - came from the british mkay (truelove collective), i don't think i've ever heard about luke vibert famously reviving acid techno..lol. maybe you should listen more and ask the right folks about it.

one more thing: acid can never be absorbed into other genres. because it is underground (fortunately), and more on the hardcore side than ..oh i dunno.. trance. it was strong, it stays strong, and it's going strong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Watskunk (talk • contribs) 21:36, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Here's the thing, I wasn't planning on making this an "intellectual" discussion about acid.~~ So in other words, no comment. Lighthead...KILLS!! 21:22, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Link [5] doesn't work.

It's just the TLS home page, not Rob Nash Sunday Times Culture.

Anyone got any ideas? Link [3] is good. Glad the Liberator crew are mentioned now.
