Jack The Tab - Acid Tablets Volume One

one of the better concept albums on the market. if this had actually come out right at the end of the 60s i think it would have freaked people out. the band's sampling of all things from that era makes this also a great learning lp. Vietnam, The Trip, swinging London, biker movies and Dallas 1969. What more could you want?

This is truly one of the conerstones of modern techno music. Consider when listening to it today how groundbreaking it was in 1988, at the birth of acid house. To the person above who says it's just "acid jazz with enless acid patterns" - considering that acid jazz and world music were not even recognized as being compatible with music like this, I'd say GPO and company deserve some serious props. "Balkan Red Alert" is as mind-blowing now as it was then. And let's not forget that probably 70% of this album is played live, not sequenced or programmed, most notably the drum tracks. This is just a super album that deserves repeat listenings.

I think this LP was kind of boring. It'S more early Acid Jazz mixed with endless acid-like patterns. the sound was rough like an underground production. The highlight is "Blue Heart" by Essence. btw: Are the titles and artists swapped? it's King Tubby with "Psyche Out" and not the other way or not?
