Acid trance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A style of trance music emerged in the late '80s early '90s and focuses on utilising the acid sound. The trademark sound of "acid" is produced with a Roland TB-303 by playing a sequenced melody while altering the instrument's filter cutoff frequency, resonance, envelope modulation, and accent controls. This real-time tone adjustment was not part of the instrument's original intended operation.
A descendant of acid house, since the genre of trance had not yet been invented during the advent of acid house (or acidhouse).
The first volumes of Trancemaster compilations contains a few tracks in acid trance style, just as classic trance tracks. The difference is, while acid trance tracks focus more on the changing TB-303 lines, classic trance (e.g. Dance 2 Trance, Cosmic Baby, Age of Love & Jam & Spoon) tracks are more atmospheric, they use "softer" synth-lines, oftenly stings and other ambient music elements. The line between these two styles is quiet blurred, they also emerged about the same time.
