Acid House: New Acid Daze

John McCready, NME, 6 February 1988

As our charts bulge with British House, so its big American brother trips off in a new direction. Spacier and racier, mesmeric and dis(c)oncerting – this is ACID HOUSE. Here JOHN McCREADY traces the rise of House's newest high, and meets its leading light, JAMIE PRINCIPLE, and finds a well strange hombre floating somewhere between the bible belt and the suspender belt.
