My life with acid 2

Hi folks, I'm back to share with you the moments in my life I spend listening to acid trax. This time, it's about a vinyl belonging to the furthest acid experiences one can have. It's about noise, acid, drums, analogue bass... I's about........ TNT 2!!!!! Produced in 2006 by the duo Tadd Mullinix and Todd Osborne, it is almost as tough and rough as TNT 1 released the year before.

When I was listening to the track 1 on the B-side last time at home, volume high up, my wife came to me, shocked with horror, eyes-wide, asking me how a sane person (she counted me amongst these) can listen to such a noise-producing, harmony -rejecting, terror-diffusing track!

Simple answer:
Because it's raw, pumped-up with energy from violent marching outbursts of exploding analogue synthesizer galaxies! This piece of vinyl is a no-compromise giant squid coming from dark mysterious 20000 miles under the sea, eating the faint-hearted along its way....

Try it yourself, if you haven't yet! But be careful with your surroundings.. it can seriously distort your personal relationships!

Snatch this!:

Tenori-On

Yamaha came with new interactive instrument combining visual experience and hands-on MIDI controller, called "Tenori-On" ! Take a look at its website.

My life with acid

I don't know hat happened to me but I recently can't resist retro acid 80s tracks:




Tyree feat. Chic - I Fear The Night (Supa Dupa Classic Records 01)





















Rodney Bakerr presents Mystic - House Girl (Clone Classic Cuts 08)























Tyree / The Elect - I’m Free / I’m House (Clone Classic Cuts 11)






















Steve Poindexter: Born To Freak E.P.(Muzique Est. 1989 004)





















Cheesy but groovy and oh those analogue drums&synths!!!



How did I get to listen & even play acid tracks?
It was at one of the best parties I was witness to: Matthew Herbert playing TNT track in Spojka club in Bratislava some 4 years ago:
























After this eyes-opening experience, I fell instantly in love with acid!
That's all for now folks! Story continues later.....
