Awesome toon,gotta be up there with Phuture Acid Trax, and Circuit Breaker Overkill, they should play this down the phone when your trying get through to a call centre 🤗🤗🤗
When Richie Hawtin was plastikman and didn’t suck when he made awesome tracks once after another not using boring minimal techno traxz like he does today I want my old sheet one plastikman back
honestly, this sounds more like acid trance to me. though back in the day there was considerably more overlap between techno and trance...and I like it that way.
def more acid trance than techno, but the other commenter is correct in that when this came out, there wasn't much of a distinction. Some of Hillage's (a.k.a. 'System Seven' - I mean what is that lady doing anyway?) stuff is more techno-sounding too. Cat is oooold, like 62 or 63 years. Wow. That's cool as shit. A grandpa techno master.
This is not trance, tiesto is trance. when this came out, there was no minimal, and techno used to have 140 BPM, this track has like 128BPM. So this downtempo was more like house these days, Hawtin decided to called it Acid House, even if he knew that is nothing to do with house music. Its too hard for Trance and has no melody like trance, so it is still monotone pounding techno.
