"When Marshall Jefferson, DJ Pierre and Spanky pissed about with a then defunct, cheap bass synthesiser and came up with this burbling, idiotic, weird sound, they thought it sounded like acid rock. Hence the title of the tape they handed to DJ Ron Hardy at The Music Box in Chicago. Within a couple of weeks they had the hottest record in Chicago. Within a year the sound they had created had become the rallying cry of a brand new youth movement." --"The 50 Most Influential Records of all Time" (1999) in Muzik

"Acid Tracks" is a 12-inch single released in 1987 by Phuture. It was recorded in 1985 but remained unreleased due to funding shortages. Today it is widely acknowledged as the first track to feature the acid-house squelch sound created with the Roland TB-303 synthesizer, which was originally designed as a bass accompaniment for rock bands, but ended up as a favorite among Chicago and Detroit electronic-music producers in the late 1980s.
