I mean I don't even know if people actually listen to acid or if it's a genre of music that online projects like this seem to latch on to. I don't recall (but I'm pretty insular) it being a thing anywhere. Trance/dance music, sure. I guess acid is a subgenre?

Acid is probably the most trending subgenre of techno these days, just cuz you've never heard of it...

This made me want to grind lap times in Wipeout 2097. The soundtrack and atmosphere in that game was really similar to this, and like nothing I'd heard or seen before at the time. It probably shaped my taste in so many ways. Fond memories! EDIT: For those sharing the nostalgia, it turns out that the composer of the soundtrack, Cold Storage, remastered it and put it up on streaming services. It's a two part EP called…

Nothing gives me the tingles like listening to Sasha - Xpander from the WipeOut 3 soundtrack.

This generates much better patterns than any other music web project I've tried. Awesome work. If you had no music experience, snuck into a club, impersonated a DJ, and just pressed play on this, I think even without touching it, no one would notice anything's amiss. If you messed around with it occasionally, you'd probably get hired back. (And that's a compliment to the app; definitely not a diss of acid techno.)

IANAL but, it's not illegal if you don't get charged with anything. It reminds me of a project done some years ago, some people generated millions (billions?) of melodies as a means of trolling copyright claims.

It feels weird reading "from the WipeOut 3 soundtrack" in your post, as if Sasha is some largely unknown artist or that Xpander is a hidden B-side. I'd be surprised if there is a single person from the 90s/00s era who listened to electronic music who didn't know of Sasha. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations...
