V/A "RETOURS D¹ACIDE * A NEW BEAT ACID HOUSE FLASHBACK" (tut08

12-inch PICTURE LP, limited edition of +/- 320 copies

The time is 1986. The place, the ³Prestige² club in Antwerp, Belgium. One
evening, DJ Marc Grouls makes one of those small mistakes that write musical history: playing an EBM maxi single at 33 instead of 45 rpm, he accidentally gives birth to one of the most blatantly successful, short-lived and contentious dance genre ever: NEW BEAT. In the two years that follow, New Beat and its American pendant, ACID HOUSE, take Europe by storm, culminating in the brief but memorable apogee of 1988.

We now write 2008. Twenty years have elapsed, and as the world seems
plunged in a new kind of Cold War, time has come to pay tribute to the sound of an era. For the second volume in the tribute-sampler series, TREUE UM TREUE invited eight artists from the European minimal-electro,
post-industrial and techno scene to shamelessly leap back in time and create their own New Beat / Acid House tracks. The result is a versatile album featuring EBM-influenced tracks in early New Beat fashion, classical New Beat anthems, hypnotic Acid House loops as well as more pop-influenced, Neo-New Beat performances. Def Con 5, 4, 3, 2, 1Š Impact!

A(ci)D ABSURDUM (D), INCIDENT VOYAGEUR (F), IWIK88 (D), JONGBLOED (NL), KALKENN (F), LEANDER (A), MORDREKK (F) and PIERRE NORMAL (B)
