| | Gerald is back! Drenching Detroit-styled techno in sparkling | |
| | electroid acid killers, this set was recorded in one session | |
| | using two laptops and a DJ mixer at GeraldÆs Diehold Studio on | |
| | February 11th, 2006. With one exception (ôAuto Rebuild,ö the | |
| | third track, is a remake of 808 StateÆs ôAutomannikö), the | |
| | albumÆs 24 raw, club-oriented tracks are all new and were created | |
| | over the last year in Berlin. The collection departs from the | |
| | style of his last full-length, æTo All Things What They NeedÆ, in | |
| | many ways, the most obvious being the absence of singing. Asked | |
| | why he decided to make Proto Acid wholly instrumental, Simpson | |
| | doesnÆt mince words. ôOn my last two albums, I felt pressured to | |
| | include vocals,ö he replies. ôNowadays, I feel singers should be | |
| | put on a bale of hay with a piece of straw hanging out of their | |
| | mouths while playing acoustic guitarùkeeping it real, if you know | |
| | what I mean. I want to make music for clubs and sometimes you | |
| | just have to get down and dirty into the machines and, to take it | |
| | there, you canÆt hold anyoneÆs hand. Some things just donÆt need | |
| | a vocal". Asked to describe the albumÆs sound, Simpson says, ôTo | |
| | me itÆs proto acid; itÆs how I feel house/techno music would have | |
| | sounded if the whole rave thing hadnÆt happened in England. When | |
| | I was younger, I would go to soul and funk clubs and you could | |
| | easily mix a techno/house track into your set without spoiling | |
| | the environment. Could you imagine playing a techno track at an | |
| | rÆnÆb club today? Things have splintered and fragmented and | |
| | floated so far apart that funk seems to have dropped through the | |
| | cracks. IÆm one of those preserved creatures that basically loves | |
| | to use genres as a palette. So when I say proto acid IÆm saying | |
| | this stuff has direct lineage to Chicago and Detroit in the | |
| | mid-to-late 80s.ö ôFor me, acid was all about the tweaking of | |
| | synths and riding a groove, you know what I mean? Like, before | |
| | the masses thought the Transistor Bass machine was a special tool | |
| | for doing acid house music, I was already bored with it and had | |
| | moved on to tweaking envelopes on other Roland machinery, so I | |
| | never really possessed that value for the 303 like everybody else | |
| | did. I feel like I followed my own path and was inspired by what | |
| | was going on in Detroit and Chicago but always did my own thing. | |
| | To me, the new album is acid and acidÆs a part of everything I | |
| | do.ö At this stage in his career, one might assume that Simpson | |
| | has covered every base imaginable, but apparently thatÆs not so. | |
| | Referring to the new release, he says, ôItÆs the culmination of a | |
| | dream IÆve had since I started making music, and thatÆs to take | |
| | the studio into the club; this album is snapshot of those | |
| | possibilities.ö | |
