[song list＋ア・サーテン・レイシオのコメント]

0.00 Son of My Father – Chicory Tip 1972
The first record I bought with synths in it

2.09 The Makers – Don’t Challenge Me 1972
Currently for sale for £760 on Discogs. When I first heard this I couldn’t believe it was from 1972. Sounds like it was made yesterday

5.03 Electric Machine – Disco Fashion 1979
Rare Italian experimental and psychedelic creation mixed in a classic disco style from 1979. Way ahead of its time and one of a kind.

8.38 Sylvester - I need somebody to love tonight (Psychemagik Remix) 1979
Another piece of psychedelic trippy disco from 1979. What a great year 1979 was, ACR released their first single and there was so much good music around.

15.36 Throbbing Gristle – Hot on the Heels of Love 1979
We played 20 jazz Funk Greats to death when it came out. I was so lucky being 19 in 1979…

19.55 Cabaret Voltaire – Sluggin’ Fer Jesus – Part 1 1981
We played quite a few gigs with The Cabs in the early days and we still keep in touch with Mal.

24.30 Brian Eno – An Ending (Ascent) 1983
Beautiful

28.27 Shine O’ Myte – Bootsy Collins – 1982
Funk ‘on the one’ at its best and Moog’d to the max

32.50 Annette – Dream 17 1988
A classic piece of Mancunian house music which appeared on the ‘North’ compilation along with Acid to Ecstasy by ED209, which was produced by myself and Donald from ACR.

37.09 Hot Hands – Hula 1988
Chicago mayhem from Maurice Joshua & "Hot Hands", also released in the golden year of 1988 on the legendary Trax label.

42.43 Metro Area- Miura 2002
Brooklyn based nu disco duo. I love this tune because of its simple one note bass line.

48.18 Alkalino - Band Jive 2017
From reworks Volume 1 – Prolific Portuguese producer/DJ, very much like I Feel Love but goes somewhere with some killer synth work.
