'In the beginning there was Roland's founder Ikutaro Kakehashi and an arsenal of computer controlled analog jock boxes designed specifically to outmode the trad rock (read: human) rhythm section... the circuitry was so tightly wound however, so rooted in synthesis that it failed to meet its promise. It wasn't until the mid-80s that the TB-TR system took novel form as acid house; a simple but novel attitude shift that saw an embrace of extra-terrestrial machine funk aesthetics converging with the all-too-human need to make austere, robotic dance music. Enter no fun acid ::: Carlos Giffoni's reinvention and reanimation of the noise cadaver vis a vis German minimal synth rewired to memories of seedy Venezuelan raves circa 199X. A nebulous drone gives way to 606 delirum, followed by an array of sequenced modular synth, infinitely spiraling like a borehole through Kakehashi's 3rd eye. This is acid: the primordial years. On the flip is an elegiac space hymnal take on NFA from techno alchemist Gavin Russom. Art submitted by an anonymous fan. Mastered by Rashad Becker in Berlin, Pressed in Detroit at Archer. Limited to 500 copies.' - Metamkine
