Thirty-nine years ago, the Roland Corporation had an idea. What if you replaced your bassist with a machine? Short Circuit 2? No. The result, the TB-303. Fix it up with your TR-606 drum machine and you could be your very own band! Who needs others to sooth the loneliness, eh Roland’s little silver machine was a failure. What came out of it didn’t sound like the smooth strumming of a bass guitar, it sounded like liquid tin poured across a xylophone. From such failings came something else, a movement and sound that might be tipping forty but is still full of vitality and verve: acid.
The history of the TB-303 is well known and here at WE FORFEIT we’ve tried to tell it in records. From the first acid house records of Chicago and, perhaps, the first use of a TB-303 on an album to modern day mutations, the lads are tripping down a squelchy lane. Brutality and brilliance abound as the molten messiness of the acid box is put through its paces, from expert knob twiddlers like AFX and Mike Dred to modern day noodlers like Kettel and EOD.
