Maybe I’m biased, I was fortunate enough to be right in the thick of it when the acid house scene hit the UK, I am well aware it is easy for me to sound like some old git on a soapbox, but at the same time I’m not precious about it, I fully expect to hear some young kids getting hold of the Aira’s and doing some amazing tracks with them, and good luck to them. On the other hand there will be 1000 lame pretenders knocking out generic cheesy pap, same as with any other genre, but as always the good stuff tends to get noticed.
And as Xmit says I’d be the first to say a 303 is not essential for doing acid, personally I think it is more about the person than the gear, it is a philosophy and if you try to fake it, it will show, too many embellishments or try to get too musical/clever and you lost it, its about that raw stripped down groove that keeps you hooked, much like the best funk its all about the stank. IMHO. It came from the ghetto and it belongs in the ghetto, and like most of the best music was not about flashy gear and pristine recordings, fuck that noise 
Anyway, rambling on…
I am looking foreward to checking out the posted tracks, keep em coming!
