  • Terry Farley has overseen a five-disc compilation called Acid Rain: Definitive Original Acid & Deep House 1985-1991. Due for release on Harmless in July, the compilation features all of the key Chicago artists involved with the birth of acid and deep house, including Mr. Fingers, Frankie Knuckles, DJ Pierre, Gene Hunt and Virgo Four. Split across five discs—that's some 61 tracks in total—it promises an exhaustive collection of classics and the odd overlooked gem. Though the music is American in origin, the compilation's curators are British: it comes accompanied by 32-page booklet compiled by Miles Simpson, along with scans of flyers and photos from Farley's personal archives. This year has already seen one significant acid house reissue—Soul Jazz's Mysterons Invade The Jackin' Zone—while Trax reportedly has a 16-disc boxset in the works.
