  1. What a lot of people don't realize is that they actually DIDN'T program that 303 line in Acid Trax. They just used what was in the 303 when they got it. And this video is proof =o] Great little vid, where is the rest of it???

  2. That comment about Pierre being the only guy to twist the knobs with the music is so true.

    I wonder if the tempo of Acid Trax played in the background is the original. I know that either Hardy or Jefferson told them to lower it.

  3. The one playing in the video is quite a bit faster. The original is, i believe about 120 bpm.

  7. @computer controlled: The released version that everybody knows is slower than what Phuture originally recorded...Marshall Jefferson told them to slow it down. The released version is 120.

  10. while it is realy the histor of house music at first, it slowly drift into the history of UK house... The point of view is kind of self centered.
