Hi All,

just wanted some opinions on the best Acid & Techno compilation cd's about. I used to love the hard techno & acid circa 1992-1994 as a kid but never knew who was making what on what labels. The sound i like would be the sort you'd hear on what i now know as the label 100% Acidiferous etc etc, that general sort of thing. big fat 303's and analogue squelches. I'm fed up of guessing and ending up with shit gabber!!! I like early Industrial strength (some of it) like Disintegrator: 'Lock on Target' too, as long as it has no crap swearing/sex samples like all that Mokum bollocks.
I don't really want to get on the vinyl trip as i have my vinyl collection where i want it to be in terms of genres i like. So i'd be looking for Cd's or even quality mixes. I know if i buy 1 record that's it...in for a penny in for pound!

Can someone point me in the right direction?? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Thanks.

Cheers mate.

yeah i'm not a big fan of comps either but i thought it might be a good avenue back into the sound. Any mixes in particular you recommend?

Have to say i'm really getting a feel for acid again. Been checking out some tracks. I think i'm doomed in terms of trying not to buy vinyl:naughty:
