ceephax Good Acid Compilations

I noticed that most of the few acid house compilations(or related) that I put my hands on usually aren't as good as I would expect them to be.

I think I understood than most of the early 90s acid is never be as good (in my opinion) as afx and ceephax when they do their kind of acid.

But still, I am looking for good comps, and most of what I've found until today as disappointed me. I don't know, may be I've a problem with "proper" acid, because for example I downloaded the 20 "best acid tracks" chosen by DMX krew for Fact mag and didn't like most of them, although dmx taste can't be suspected.

But I still want to try, so, go on with recomendations(full albums by an artist accepted also).

Just like any genre, you're going to have to sift through the cack. I like the classic 80's- early 90's shit though. well some, not all. To me however, ceephax, afx, & vibert are all a step above acid wise. i hate acid with randomy 303 lines that sound like no effort was made to make them other than a battery removal. none of the aforementioned artists do so (or if they do, they cover it up well by editing the pattern afterward), as they program with a purpose (not saying they are perfect, and haven't had some happy accidents). i am in no condition to be typing. i'll continue this in some hours.

i don't really like acid that much but i wanted to learn about so i got we call it acieeed!: "36 of the maddest acid tracks ever"

Yeah but does it worth it?

There was a mixmag issue tribute to acid a few years back that had an all-acid mix by josh wink that was pretty fucking stellar

Yeah Hardfloor is one of the best I've heard so far.

Was curious about that list from EDMX, found the article online:

I'm quite enjoying reading the comments he makes about each track

...

cosign whoever said 'Acid: Can You Jack?'. Most of the essentials are there, if you don't like it then you probably don't like acid house

You want the 030303 comp

You don't need to post it in the acid topic so i am aware of it.

I used Pinch of Salt in all my mixes long before you composed it. Most of the girls are crazy for it here in Paris.
