Sarah Champion on Manchester’s Acid scene, 22nd October 1988.
The other 2 pages of the NME feature on the acid scene for everyone joining from Faith Fanzine forum. Do you want more of this stuff?

God, that’s a shockingly bad piece of writing and it reminds me of why I always preferred the Maker to the NME, even though reading this at the time would probably have done me the power of good.
Anyway, even though the writing style was so bitty and riddled with non-sequiturs that you’d [i]almost[/i] think the writer might have been on drugs, it’s worth it for that magnificently Tim Booth-ish quote from Tim Booth.
Once more, for luck: “Rap and house music may have a bog following, bit then, so did Hitler; Sampling is not music and house is nice and regular for people who can’t dance properly”.
Beavis & Butthead had it right about that dick. “Son, we don’t mind you making that music, just don’t bring our name into it”.
