3.0 out of 5 stars 1985 - 1995???, 3 Jun 2005
By D. Barlass "dogboy73" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Hardly the golden age of Acid. Surely 1985 - 1989 would have made for a tighter compilation? How many of these tracks are later than 1989 anyway? Must be all of 2 of them surely? There's some real gems on here but there is certainly room for improvement. For starters it features Phuture's Acid trax - The first ever Acic track. It had to be there no question. There's also Tyree's seminal Acid over, This is Acid by Maurice + plenty of other classic Trax records (et al) Acid/Chicago House tunes. But there's a few oddball inclusions to justify the - 1995 title. Green Velvet's Enforcer? Never heard of it! If it is a classic Acid track it must have slipped me by!

I'm no expoert on early Chicago Acid House but I can't help feeling that I could have put together a better compilation than this! Where is the Phuture phantasy club's Spank spank or Slam? Steve poindexter's Computer Madness? Phuture's, We are Phuture? Adonis's No way back needs to be on a compilation like this for sure as do countless other Chicago classics of the Acid House orientation.

A good compilation but could be better. It does come with a 52 page booklet including interviews & some images. Not the most glossy booklet in the world but it makes the asking price of this package, with the 2 CD's, worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fairly typical SoulJazz comp, 5 Jul 2007
By Paul Waller "p_dubya" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a pretty good comp that includes massive tracks like Phuture's Acid Tracks, Armando's Downfall, Lil' Louis' Video Clash, Tyree's Acid Over & Maurice's This Is Acid but as is usual with SoulJazz, dosen't set itself up as a greatest hits comp but more as a collection of rarities & as a taster of the scene.
One has to bear in mind that there are many Acid comps available, most of which concentrate on the better known tracks of the era. So how do SoulJazz bring something valid to a fairly crowded marketplace?
As usual this label dig a little deeper, go to the source & provide an intelligent perspective by listening to the original scene stealers-generally avoiding the cuts that's licence's have already been snapped up & manage to provide something authentic, valid & that complements existing collections.
The previous reviewer mentions some classic cuts that aren't present here but I can assure you are available on other readily available comps. I agree that the true acid period was over before 1990 & do particularly miss the inclusion of cult classics by the likes of MD3, Bam Bam, Laurent X, Mike "Hitman" Wilson, Mr Lee, Housemaster Baldwin & others + a label like SoulJazz really must dedicate an entire comp to early works by geniuses like Lil' Louis, Jamie Principle & Larry Heard (Gherkin Jerks anyone?)!
You couldn't really do acid justice by putting together a 2 disc comp so buy 1 & if you love it get the rest!
You should start with Clearwater's Acid Masters & the Trax Acid Classics comp but should include this 1 if you want 2 put a decent set together . . .
On 1 matey & Don't forget DJ International.
Oh yeah, MTS &RDTH, Joeskie Love, Steve Poindexter & all that late Trax acid stuff needs re-issuing for sure but forget Joey Beltram's Noo Yawk perspective, only the Detroit guys are truly relevant outside of the original Chicago scene!
