First use of a Roland 303 on a record?

it's not a 303, but this igor wakhevitch track from 1972 is the first acid tune i know of...

:eek: 72 ! amazing find , hats off....

edit: googled , and found out its the Dali Collaborator that also made 'Knives and a Feather' thats on on a mate of mines comp that's coming out soon , "Sherm Sticks...." very obscure psyche disco stuff. double top find .
 
I'm sure you've all seen this...

white car in germany and an even whiter car are pretty far out, but no 303s

aha! I remember some Associates tracks from when I was at school that I remember sounding like Cabaret Voltaire and veing most surprised when I found out who they were. The album had a single word title. :confused:

I won the carpet from under Billy McKenzie's feet on a bet that labour would get in in the 1997 election. Guy I ran clubs with played on his last album so got to know him a bit. Entertaining, if very troubled chap.

Who would have ever bet against that??? I mean that was a dead cert. I would have bet more than a carpet though.
 
Hmmm, actually.... the 1997 election was on May 1 1997 and Billy McKenzie died in January of 1997. So, you kinda didn't win anything off him did you???
 
maybe it was scottish elections or something then? i honestly can't remember. whatever it was i won a carpet off him. which he insisted i take, even though i didn't really want it and it was a bit of an awkward situation.

maybe it wasn't an election whatsoever? tho fuck knows how i'd have got that into my head. that's gonna really bug me now. the carpet was in my mate's house who played on his album tho rather than billy's. don't even remember how it came to be there.............

this has become a boring story :(
 
sorry for bounce but I heard Charanjit Singh's 1982 album Synthesizing: Ten Ragas To A Disco Beat for the first time today.

Wow :eek:


 
ha, yes. it's ok, but sounds like it was predicting psy-trance rather than techno... more of a curiousity than anything else.
