Nah man, Acid House and the rave scene in general were highly influenced
by the Balearic sound.

He was one of the Londoners who brought back the sound of Ibiza, mixed
it with the sounds of Chicago and Detroit and helped create the sound
known as acid house at his club "Shoom" with his wife Jennifer back in
the early days of '88.
I have an LP (released on FFRR I think) from '88 caled Balearic beats
that features tracks by the Woodentops "Why, Why, Why", The Residents-
"Kiylarja" (sp?), even a track by then page 3 girl Mandi Smith with the
jazzy remix of "I Just Can't Wait"... more I can't remember...
It's a proud part of my collection... I always get positive reactions
when I drop tracks off it in the UK.
It's a reminder of what the warehouse scene was back then, how diverse
the music used to be and how the majority of "Rave Kids" today would
never be able to get their little heads around where their music came
from and what could have been...
