Wonder if there are people who have not heard this yet. I was trying to track down the origins of acid house, and 90% of the time that lead me to Phuture, buuut, than I stumbled upon this.
Love that 303, especially since that was the year it was released.
“Latterly, outside of India, Charanjit Singh gained attention for his 1982 release Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat, an album originally intended as a fusion of electronic disco music with Indian classical ragas. Singh’s use of both the TR-808 drum machine, and TB-303 bass synthesizer has led some music journalists to suggest that it is perhaps the earliest example of acid house music; predating Phuture’s seminal Chicago acid house record “Acid Tracks” (1987) by five years.[2][8] Comparisons have also been made with the work of other electronic dance musicians who were inspired by acid house such as Ceephax, Phuture 303, and Aphex Twin.[13] According to The Guardian writer Stuart Aitken, Singh’s record was “far ahead” of its time.[8] Aitken also discussed the importance of the record on US radio station PRI’s The World.[14]”
I came across that on the Wikipedia TB303 page. It sounds like a lot of the dance music called Goa Trance that was popular in London in the late 80s and early 90s.
@thecyantist: I don’t have any recorded vocals due a lack of mic, it’s more of a personal practice but I hope put on kirtanica shows in the near future. I’ll let you know when I post stuff.
tb323, check this one out. I used to have quite a few trance records and this was definitely the silliest 303 freak out of them all: Solar Quest - Acid air raid
I had some good times in the 90s but it killed a few brain cells.
