Basilisk Posted May 11, 2002 Author Share Posted May 11, 2002 Spect-R - This is Acid Artist: Spect-R Title: This is Acid Label: Polytox Date: 1995 Track listing: 01. Acido Flamenco 02. This is Acid 03. Aircrash Review: This early 12" from the Kopfuss/Hiscore bunch is full of acid trance influences and represents the style of the 95/96 years when Goa Trance was a big mixture of various kinds of trance. The formats of the songs often reflect techno influences, though the repeating sounds are often evolving acid lines and bubbling 303s. Spect-R use strong sweeps and pads on "Acido Flamenco" and this track plods along... not the best from this EP. "This is Acid" contains some very trancey riffs and a bouncy, kicking beat. This is the most memorable tune on the EP, as it has nice composition and pleasing sounds. Sadly it fades off slowly - that kind of ending sounds contrived somehow, when the composition could be more epic. The flipside is more like early Goa Trance than acid sounds, but the drums sound weaker and the melodies don't evolve as much. It works out to be an alright tune but nothing special. Overall this is a fine old school EP with lots of acid influences, from the early days of Goa 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
