Choice - Acid Eiffel 

OMG!!!! It was 1992 when I heard this trax... On the beaches of Santa Cruz! The WICKED CREW DJs played it... The moon was about to go to rest... while the sun crest. These Wicked Fullmoon Gatherings were a magical time in the early 90's. I was from Los Angeles & would drive my VW from LA to SF to search for this music! Dancing with all races, ages, sexes to Acid House! Just imagine the crowd of us... 2,000 of us! Ravers, Computer techies, Hippies, Gays, Artist! It was free! Cost no money! Just a sound system, a generator, vinyl & the Fullmoon and verbal directions! No GPS or cellphones! Verbal, word of mouth! Gotta thank my buddy Randy J for playing this trax & mentioning who it was during his birthday mix. I was able to find it today & have a rad flashback to this amazing time & trax :) Honest²

Driving through the streets of Paris at night to this song is an absolute life peak experience.

I can hear the influence of this in Faxing Berlin, I can feel the cold European air in the grey detuned television sky.

i'm french i'm 50. i'm a laurent garnier and ludovic navarre fan and 30 years after always ' Goosebumps' !!! EARGASM !!!!

This is one of those tracks you are always coming back to and each time it sounds even better. One of those you love forever. Eternal masterpiece. Laurent Garnier + Shazz, that simply can’t fail…

The memories moves me to tears since remind me of the soulmate who died

Driving home at 4 in the morning after another shit night at work... this always lifted up me up, made me forgot work, the people, and my sad life

Best use of a 303 in human history and some tasty 909 action to compliment. Subtle, Not Obvious, musical, groovy. You see my friends, Techno was never about souless beats with no music.

twin peaks on acid

This is one of those tracks that glued my existence forever to techno. Listening to it now, probably for the first time in 20, 25 years is like tasting again the sweets of your youth, driving through your birth town's tiny roads or even swimming in the remembrance of your youth's oh so bitter tears.... 25 years.... what the hell has happened.....

Sounds like an ocean. A synthetic, magnificent one. In the dark. Holy fuck.

This is the tune that busted my rave hymen, in 1995. Ever since that day when Jon Bishop laid this tune after the instrumental breakdown of "Rock The Discotech", I was hooked on purely electronic music. I knew intense emotions could be expressed electronically because I had heard Chick Corea and Shadowfax, but I never knew it could be expressed with such... swing.

I never felt so beautiful as when I was on LSD.......rising into the arms of the LSD girl, released and free..........forever LSD

Ludovic Navarre aka Saint Germain, with Shazz and Laurent Garnier created this timeless Masterpiece

Heard in 94. tracked it down and got the 2x cd set back then in l5p in atlanta. Still other worldly

Un pure chef d'oeuvre, indémodable même plus de 30 ans après

Perfect track for time travel

@04:43-that drum stab gets me every time, even almost 30 years later

i used to live rue du fbg montmartre in Paris and the Rex was just down the street on the Gd Blvd i went there many times to hear Laurent spin...great memories and crazy times!

I really love when the acid get elegant ❤️

This song will always help me see the beauty in my sadness.

this track helped me through a very very tough breakup...It wasn`t part of the plan and it probably wouldn`t have happened if i stayed in Germany. I still have very fond memories of that person for what they taught me and what i taught them. Sometimes things just aren`t meant to be, this track helped me learn that.

All time.favourite, picked up the vinyl When it got released,still mixing this track in.and out... 4ever

Acid love song. Neverending story. Masterpiece beyond time and space... Thank you Shazz and Laurent. Thank you Henrik Fodor.

Zeitlose elektronische Musik aus einer anderen Zeit..lebt ewig....nur wenige verstehen das ...Danke Frankreich ❤

A total masterpiece of electronica

There is something about this track that makes me like it a lot! It’s the pad sounds or maybe the pad and acid sounds. I will never know.

Been listening this song more than 3 times a day (i discovered it like 5 months ago), and never get tired of it.

Taken me a few decades to track this memory down, due to my sozzled memory. It was and still is a sublime track and the best present on my 60th birthday! Thank you Henrik.

discovered this in london, june '23 at a vinyl techno party. absolutely masterful track...

that sound between 06:40 and 06:41 ear-gasm...!

Definitly a masterpiece...full of soul...and the 303 progression is just dope

47 and this is going off stillllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!

Wicked how we all seem to have special memories of this track...I first heard it in a club in Brussels, The Fuse. A little later it was issued on a compilation cd "I Love Fuse", and years later i saw it live on Spanish(!) television. And now i found it in my you tube algorythm...it keeps haunting me i guess....

Remember .. the good old times. Tresor Berlin!

when you have ADHD but 13 minutes feels like an instant, and you desperately beg it were longer, you know you just experienced a classic. laurent is a deva

Easily one of the best techno songs of all time!! Amazing.

This Track stands almost alone as a testament of a House-scene wich never really existed, only in some Dreams of the "right" feeling People. This is at least my opinion. AM.

i remember hearing this in the Temple of Sound, Dublin in the 90s. It's still a stunning track after 30 years. Sublime.

Omg laurent garnier 's acid eiffel one of my favorite tracks , this is truly remenessing , brings back the good old vibes , true trance👍👏🙌🙌

Excellent TB-303 Sound.

i wish to be 1993 this is the real techno

It will never be surpassed.

This is as good as it gets 💯💯💯💯 One of the best uses of 303 ever. Absolutely timeless stuff still sounds incredible!

For me, the greatest Techno track ever created. An absolute tour de force. LG was an absolute genius !

im having chills listening to this timeless piece

Back 1993, 3 masters at work did a master piece.

i can't believe this is from 1993

This sounds like minimal with the warm touch of house. Ellen Allien just played it on her balcony set. what a great track

I feel privileged to be able to listen to this

Salut Lolo, suis hyper fan depuis longtemps, tjours au devant de la scène même me suis fais virer par la sécurité, lol, plein de bises à toi

still unique, still without alternative. As in every masterpiece. I'm lucky I knew

I'm gonna cry this is so good. Dancing on the dining room table never felt so right. Dang.

L'avoir pu vivre ce morceau dans son jus d'origine, dans le contexte des 20 ans, finalement c'était pas mal cette époque. Le Roland 303, les boîtes à rythme et un parfum plus léger, plus tolérant dans l'air tintait.

This song puts me in a trance,to a ride in space into another world. At that time '93 and '23 Masterpiece of trance music

listen to it is like an meditation - I can play it 3times +++

absolutny top of the techno top :)

one of my favorites of all time, what an atmosphere

I received this vinyl release as a promo from my friend Herdest who was managing Transmat at the time. Gorgeous translucent artwork for the promo material and the vinyl print is ok, but damn, what a stunning track. I dropped this track playing out at every opportunity and it was a floor filler every time. Respect. All my friends and I loved this electronic masterpiece.

Evergreen masterpiece

Le MORCEAU ! 23 ans .... tjrs aussi magnifique !

Un des plus beau track d'electro au monde

6 years old I was reading the newspapers in the 90s, wanting to go to the downtown raves in Orlando, Zen…Aahz…Breakbeasts…Florida Breaks…etc…and all I could do was imagine what the rave experience must have been like during the afterparties of the early 90s… fast forward to a few years back…some people say that Maceo Plex “Solar Detroit” was a rip of this track, and I think that while the 303 acid bassline groove pattern is similar, both pieces are great works and tell story each their own, Garnier was a big influence to Estornel, and it’s nice to hear samples of newer DJs in the next phases of electro, sort of as maybe a dedication to a nice auditory memory of dancing and the freedom it brought, nothing wrong with that, and nothing wrong with tasteful forms of sampling or leitmotifs, i’m still noticing new sounds about Acid Eiffel as well when I return to take a more conscious listen…after about 5:45 in, you hear a female voice almost reminiscent of Orbital Halcyon…not something I can pick up on unless I’m wearing decent headphones, as I didn’t before today….toward the 7:00 minute mark, it’s easier to hear what I want to say are dolphin sonar communications, sounds like some kind of moogy, bassy, brooding aquatic transmissions, what instrument is that? What are those slow rolling overtones? That’s when you feel hooked on this track and the atmosphere it brings…. the last time I mixed it in a set I started to reverberate those effects and make them boomier with a few subtle delays, when it gets to that point, It’s almost like I don’t want the track to end…but then I fade it into “Solar Detroit” and it’s almost seamless in the way the textures marry one another...and while Maceo may have brought me back to this track, but it was my friend Mark Hunt who brought me here initially, via DJ Sasha’s Zen Afterparty, and thankfully the 6 hour Labor Day ’96 set, is still online… soundcloud.com/grade-e/dj-sasha-live-the-zen it comes in just after 22 minutes…we all miss the 90s, maybe some of it we don’t miss so much, but if it wasn’t Global Communication, it was F Communication, and I’m thankful for the aesthetically pleasing electronic music Garnier brought to the table, suffice to say Acid Eiffel is one of the best Acid Tracks in my opinion from early 90s rave period. I wasn’t even old enough to drink, but tracks like this that made their way to me via an older cousin’s mixtape, helped me to pretend.

Straight from the REX Club basement ! So much memories. Thanks for this !

MAGNIFICANT SONG ;) .... of my teenager times in 1993-94 ... & STİLLL these times...

To me, this track really captures the downfall of Paris, from such an incredible city to what it has become today.

I have listened to this song.

I CAN'T STOP DANCING

Best techno ever.

I met the mother of my kids at 5am high on molly when the DJ played it... The Monday after that weekend I ran to record store to grab a copy (Fragile Records). The Paris EP was repressed in 2021, I bought 2 copies

This perfectly expresses the magical feeling you get while driving southwest on US Highway 127 near Pikeville, Tennessee in the year 2078.

I think this just became one of my favourite electronic music tunes.

til the end of time

Is this the best techno track ever produced? -> I think so!

Still as beautiful as always. Sonic perfection

The finest. With some Ur . Still uplifting, making you bluesy while you dance and cry into something groovy that wonr stop. Yeah. Deep Technosound at its best. Shit. But wait 2021.

Et le soleil se lève sur la Rave au petit matin, les yeux s'ouvrent sur l'immensité de l'amour, une aube dorée nous enveloppe comme une caresse. Plus rien ne sera pareil

The choice.... the pads... the 909.... the acid.

45 people had a bad trip

What a trip

I'm not crying, honest.

I love this. Playing it on repeat...

Thx, Mr. Garnier. Almost 30 years, and every day better.

I want to fly and never come back....🙏👌😉

majestic and elegant!

this is just beautiful.

Beautiful! I've heard this in 2010 for the first time. It reminds me of those magical times when everything was just perfect. Good times, fun nights, great people, awesome vibe... I miss that.

i wasnt even alive when they made dis shit mane. play this at my funeral

Real Techno for Real People!!!

Wicked love acid music

how can you not like this, quintessential this one, a gem!

Mon dieu que j'aime avec nostalgie ces années house music

Perso, je l'ai écouté la première fois en 1998 sur une K7 qu'on m'a donnée. Et je l'écoute (encore) ce soir. Il est vraiment tout aussi magnifique. Je n'ai qu'un truc à dire: Merci à ceux qui ont fabriqué ce grand moment de bonheur! Je suis certain que vous l'avez fait pour donner du plaisir. Ben c'est réussi. Vraiment un grand merci les amis

Thanks for posting in such nice sound quality ❤

Last track played at Output Brooklyn

Garnier's best... everlasting for sure!

Les fondamentaux de la house et de la techno-pop made in France.

MASTER TRACK !! THANKS SO MUCH FOR REMEMBER , HISTORY TECHNO, ACID HOUSE, PROGRESSIVE TRANCE!!! RAFAEL

This is mindblowing stuff

Laurent is a very diverse producer, from my first beat mix attempt with Astral Dreams and everything that followed hasn't just "evolved", he has a truly eclectic and diverse catalog but Acid Eiffel has spoken to me or connected with me in a way not many other tunes have, its got an energy to it but to me it sometimes borders on tears, its beautiful, powerful, emotional, doesn't need drops or huge change breaks. He's always loved his percussion and this track is no exception, the acid sample tweaked and echoed, that beautiful underlying harmony, the deep bass sample manipulated and added when the acid is entering a lull, there are so many layers to this and very subtle variations as the overall track takes its journey in intensity. It's a true classic, one of favorite producers and definitely DJ's/Live performers to. F Comm lives on :)
