Kai Tracid???

Well I didn't pay too much attention to Kai Tracid much 'til I was downloading his live sets from AudioGalaxy. His sets are awesome!!! What do you people think about him? I mean I first knew his name with "Too Many Times" which was an ok song but his live sets are as good as Marco V in my opinion. Real banging makes-you-move type of music

well I like him His own productions are top notch, although I didnt quite like his new "Trance & Acid" track... he has a label Tracid Traxx in germany, which releases some awesome german acid bangers

I used to like this guy. But now his productions are cheezy and his mixes are crap imo.

His trance productions back in the days really rocked. Liquid skies, dance for eternity, I can read your mind and some others were really great.

yeah Kai Tracid is mint, I got a nice 4 vinyl box set of Trance and Acid which is quite good

Voyager is a quality track

well I THINK the guy is has style. He definitely has different ..hard beats....don't bore you....he is good at what he does. Maybe one or two tracks I might not like, he is a good 8 out of 10.

yeah I have this too, and I think it is one of the few box sets I have purchased (as an import) that was worth the price. Excellent tracks in this set, including my favorite (the title track) "Trance & Acid" (how could anyone not like that track??? I also really dig the other tunes and like the message in "Life is Too Short" and "Suicide"

Cool :)

Yeah I was just downloading whatever I saw on AudioGalaxy, "Trance & Acid" is pretty awesome, along with live set from Rosenmotags Rave set was a blast!!!

Kai tracid rawks, i got his set @ Qlimax a while ago, just love his style

still trying to get all of his tracks

Kai Tracid is awesome...to be one of the first (if not the first) to combine the styles of trance and acid into some amazing music.

Hell no!
He is far away from being the first one who did it

And presonally, I think his tracks are nothing special... I'm saying this as a person who's been into acid for 5 years at least: none of his tracks is REAL acid trance (and i'm not talking about his other aliases here)

So what is your opinion of his other aliases?

I know that he was involved in coproducing of some trax of ASYS (together with Frank Ellrich). I must say ASYS have some serious shit in their discography. Acid Head Cracker (303 Inferno) and Acid Train are among of my favor tracks of all times!

Also, the Warmduscher project (Thilo Markwort + occasionally Kai Tracid) and Formic Acid are pretty succesful, too!

So I would say he can produce better in collaboration with somebody, not by himself

How is that NOT acid trance??
What examples would you say ARE acid trance?? Acid Head Cracker???

About 70% of all trance trax have an acid line in them. Are u gonna call all of them acid? No! Only tracks that use the 303 as their MAIN bassline can be considered acid.

Kai Tracid - Trance & Acid ---> listen to it again. In the beginning we hear some primitive and fairly weak acid line that can be heard for only one minute and twenty seconds Then later, the main theme drops in... and *duh!* it's not acidic (it may sound similar but it was NOT produced by Roland TB303). But guess what? It's the main theme that counts! It's not enough for a track to contain some random acid sounds to be called an ACID TRACK. The best word to describe the 303 in the Kai Tracid's track is monotonous. In 'Trance & Acid', acid is not funky, fuzzy, warm, or cold; it doesn't scream, nor is it any erratic - it's just monotonous and extremely simple... because Tracid does not want to accentuate it. How can that track be called acid if the main emphasis is placed on a completely different bassline??? 303 is only a minor sound there that was put into the track in order to fill in the intro and the "recession" in the middle. Oh well, he used the word 'acid' in the title of his track... so what? Anyone can call their production whatever they want... but does it make any sense? I think it doesn't. It just confuses people. 'Trance & Acid' is only slightly acidic...

As for what I consider acid. Well as I said, basically any track whose main theme is acidic. Wanna good examples? Check out anything from my sig... and specifically 'Afghan Acid', 'Heulender Wolf', 'The Rabbit's Name Was... ', and 'Acperience' for getting a general idea of what good acid trance really is.

And note that I'm not arguing about Kai Tracid being a good/bad producer. He may be an excellent hard trance producer (his voyager rox BTW!) but don't call his trax acid. Because they are hardly acidic.

edit. nevermind....my answer is in the post above
