I remember it as clearly as it was yesterday. My only source of "techno" at that time was MTV: U96, Usura, 2 Unlimited etc. I was at a demo party and a friend of mine who was responsible for ampification came to me with a huge smile on his face, waved a CD with "Acid Flash 1" on its cover and inserted it. The above track kicked in and I got dropped into another dimension. I was completely sober yet I was sitting there in total confusion and awe. My response must have been similar to a caveman's, seeing a rocket launch. It was a complete life changer regarding my relation to music (and quite possibly what kind of person I became). Needless to say, still a favorite of mine and always will be!
One main thing why Acid Air Raid was an acid revolutionary track is that back in the 90’s at the peak of acid music, all tracks were using one simple 303 pattern, or at least 2 or 3 at the very max in one single track. We were all used to a one-pattern only tracks, looping over and over. Then this thing arrived and dropped like a bomb, a track that literally BEAT the shit out of the 303, pattern after pattern into a very complex acid composition. Very unique (and still is when you think about it, I haven’t heard anything yet that uses as many patterns and complex shift in a 303 track)
On my red vinyl (The limited original 12" version) there is an engraving that says: "The acid air raid will smash your ego and educate your consciousness."
Mark McKenzie It will most certainly humble you good and teach you a harsh lesson, I can wholeheartedly agree to that! :D I remember it like it was yesterday.... among the longest twelve minutes of my life xD
OH MY FUCK I've been searching for this track for 20 years! I've had the beginning in my head and some of the buildup and I knew I'd know it instantly once I found it. EPIC!!!
Brutal and mean acid track that blows away pretty much everything. I friend of mine few weeks ago decided to drop this massive acid beast in right in the middle of his set, starting it at the very beginning with the monster intro. He played the track entirely. Now let me tell you this, it literally destroyed the whole room and all the people in there were completely blew away by this acid storm. And it’s 2019, crushing ALL the previous and next tracks in his entire set! Who knew this track would still ravage dancefloors 25 years later.
my 8 years old son heard this track playing and said, mum this one is a real rave. totally agree! :D this is for sure the most acidic ACID TRANCE track I have found so far . George Fleming-Saunders is truly unique artist.
Sometimes a song can... affect you. It can leave a mark on your psyche. Taking psychedelics, all of your walls are down. There was nothing standing between me and this song. It would take me up higher than I wanted to go, and when I thought it was winding down, it would start climbing again. It broke me twice, and put me back together 3 times. It was brutal. And it kept on going! I was afraid it would never end and sad because I knew it had to. I was so far gone, I thought the air raid sirens were outside... I didnt know the name of the track.
This a masterpiece! Greatest acid / techno track I know of, or have ever heard. People debating what style it is, could be, should be, must be are completely nuts, it does not matter whatever drawer they want to put it in, this is as awesome as a 303+909 track can go/be.
Many many years later...this is still real music in my ears!!! No one will bring back those times... Beside the 303s there is a simply perfect arrangement in this track.
maybe the most "surprising" about this track is it was composed by those who made "singtree".. what an amazing talent to cover such a wide scope of genre with equal creativity... genius!
Yes. This track is epic in every sense. So controlled, powerful, ultimately dancable. It penetrates your mind. (I don't use this kind of words often - this track really is extraordinary.)
Agreed. That is the nature of the 303, only a select few artists actually take it beyond the standard patterns. I just remembered how much I love Nostrum.
Huge fan of Solar Quest I deseperately looking for a track of him called "A State Ov Now" it's m'y tennage years athem ! Antoine have it cause i didn't find it Cheers Maxime
This track has been around for a long time, but it is still one of the most amazing acid trance songs ever made. enjoy it all the way through then search Age of love - Age of love.
I bought a 2 disc acid compilation back in high school and this song was on it, 27 years later I found that compilation online and bought it, I had completely forgotten about this song till I put disc 1 in. IMO this is the genre of music dub step destroyed
Seen hell breaking loose one too many times with that one... and it was the chill out room song lol... oh I miss the 90 s... waterden road... oh the good old days...
Dieser Track ist eine Reise durch die tiefen oszillierenden Landschaften des Acid-Universum voller musikalischer Pracht. Er verwandelt uns alle in galaktische Entdecker.
One of the best ACID traxxx ever made.
this track came out on my label originally, its up there on top because the 303 is being played like an instrument,
Indeed.
completely agree
This track got me hooked on acid, thx Ishkur's guide to electronic music
And can’t leave out the horn track pump panel hands down

Maybe in a few months i'll start uploading some Acid Flash cd's
Please do!
I had Acid Flash 1, too! Bought it from Åhlens in Stockholm, Sweden. Unfortunately somebody probably stole it from me when I was in the army.
i had a very similar initiation with beltrams energy flash
Lovely comment man

Bro that's true. But how about "Hardfloor" ??? They used up to six 303 at once. but machines not necessarily patterns.
a little example :)

Check acid baba that is a 20 minute track made by the same maker as this.
On my red vinyl (The limited original 12" version) there is an engraving that says: "The acid air raid will smash your ego and educate your consciousness."
Love it!
Peter Sköld THATS CORRECT....... I STAND BY IT TODAY
Mark McKenzie choci it's you!
Peter SköldWhere exactly on the vinyl does it say that?
Mark McKenzie It will most certainly humble you good and teach you a harsh lesson, I can wholeheartedly agree to that! :D

OH MY FUCK I've been searching for this track for 20 years! I've had the beginning in my head and some of the buildup and I knew I'd know it instantly once I found it. EPIC!!!
Just to make an absolutely certain statement: this is one of the top ten acid tracks of all time.
for me in top 5
For me in top 1
Absolutely No 1
I wasn't ready, but that didnt matter. This fucking song took me farther than I wanted to go.

No one will bring back those times...
Beside the 303s there is a simply perfect arrangement in this track.
This is the ultimate acid track. And possibly the ultimate electronic music track.
maybe the most "surprising" about this track is it was composed by those who made "singtree".. what an amazing talent to cover such a wide scope of genre with equal creativity... genius!
Oldschool never die 😍❤️
Beat ain’t even dropped yet but I’m ready to blow! 😂
😂😂😆😂😂😂
Possibly one of the best acid tracks ever made.

3:52 Most epic acid drop ever!!!
Hell, not only acid- that is one of the most epic drops ever - it ranks right there at the top with others I can think of.
Yes. This track is epic in every sense. So controlled, powerful, ultimately dancable. It penetrates your mind. (I don't use this kind of words often - this track really is extraordinary.)
Wawawiwaa, saw him live 4years ago what a blast 😁
Top acid trance

Was Goethes Faust für die Weltliteratur, ist der All Nighter für die Weltpartykultur.
schön gesagt

It's beautiful but devastating at the same time. You can't even explain that with words.
It's dirty and brilliant.
Whose here in 2021? Acid will never die!
One of the best songs ever created.
Trance, Acid, Goa, Heavy Metal, Folk? No fucks given...
Agreed. That is the nature of the 303, only a select few artists actually take it beyond the standard patterns. I just remembered how much I love Nostrum.
This is one of the greatest techno tracks of all time! Does anyone know why this is not on Spotify etc?
Huge fan of Solar Quest
