The amazing thing about all this was that Fast Eddie, along with Joe Smooth and Rocky Jones, managed to inject enough soul and pop sensibility into the funky acid songs that they made an impact in cities and clubs across America where you would never have heard this kind of stuff played before. Acid Thunder would brush shoulders with Rick Astley (shudder!) and Blue Monday in the same DJ sets at clubs. Your average mainstream Joe got a chance to work that body to acid bubbles he had never heard before. Where/who can do that nowadays? DJ Fast Eddie - one subversive motherfucker.
Everything else still pales in comparison. Long live hip house and aceeeeeed!
