Zerotonine - Acid Theatre

 

Posted Image

 

Artist: Zerotonine

Title: Acid Theatre

Label: Iboga

Date: 2001

 

Track listing:

 

01. Acid Theatre

02. Dark Entities

 

Review:

 

Iboga is a label that seems to follow the rule that "less is more". The

Zerotonine EP "Acid Theatre", Iboga 009, is no exception from the

Ibogalabelprofile but it feels more energetic and dancefloorfriendly

than previous releases. "Acid Theatre" (8/10) is a minimal track with

lots of grovy beats mixed with some weird voicesamples and acidic bubbly

sounds slowly building and building. It doesn´t really lead anywhere but

the touch of acid (which has no reletation to the silverbox!!!) makes

the track sound fresh and interesting, and a dj that only plays slow

zombietrance might even wake some people up with this gurgly stomper.

"Dark Entries" (4/10) is more like the ususal Ibogastuff. It´s

uneventful to the brim of boredom. The audioarchetecture is impressive

but the result is still pretty boring, and I´ll probably never listen to

this track again after I´m done with this review. If you like minimal

stuff with an edge, then I´ll recommend the A-side of this record.

agree with the reviews above. acid theater is pretty good with german style

driving bass and tough kicks. other side is a no go.

I was really into this record when I first bought it, but it hasn't fared so

well with repeated listening. Acid Theatre has a heavy kick with a nice,

slightly twisted bassline and some female voice samples that caused my friend

to label this "the orgasm track". About halfway through, some high pitched

squelchy sounds come in following a nice break with the eponymous sample

thrown in. I'd play it on the dancefloor to get things moving, but there's

not really that much going on. The B side Dark Entries is even more minimal,

very slow and atmospheric. I actually kind of like it, but I don't think it

would be to great on the dancefloor. I'll give it a 6/10. I have to say I

like those "orgasm" samples even if they sometimes sound a little out of place.

i love that squelchy acid hook in acid theatre, and the woman's voice sample is

excellent. actaully dado also used that "welcome to acid theatre" sample a

while back on his first solo album. i agree that the track doesn't have great

staying power, but the first time i heard it on the dance floor it knocked my

socks off.
