all these comments about music having acid elements in them.

got me wondering.

What do you mean by "real acid"?

rofl, "real acid". Acid is a sound. It's either acid or not.

Nothing fucks me off more than a fan that thinks a DJ can do no wrong. There is a lot of good music out there. How some people can be so easily pleased is beyond my comprehension.

if it has hoovers in, or influenced by Oakenfold post-98, probably not acid?

Then real acid would be the sound derived from the Roland TB-303.

And to hear acid exercised to its fullest extent in one track I suggest listening to DJ Misjah - Temple Of Acid. 16 minutes of acidy goodness. Acidy? It's a word trust me.

"Acid" is any sound made by a TB 303 or a sound that emulates it.

Yea it's a sound that was fairly big around the late 80's and into the 90's. The acid house scene in the UK was huge. As acid eventually turned into rave you can generally safely associate acid with fairly harsh electronic noises produced with a 303 as system j said.

josh wink - highwer state of conciousness, is 303 abuse.

junk project - braintool, hard acid.

also, there can also be a bridge between electro and acid, when the electro bassline stops breaking up as much, and becomes more fluid, it can sort of double as acid. ive heard a couple of choons that are both...

Simple answer: Any sound produced from the Roland TB-303 is Acid.
