Acid Jazz

Acid Jazz is a British label that was established in 1987 by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson. Although Peterson left in 1989 to form Talkin' Loud, the label continued to thrive under the management of Dean Rudland. The name 'Acid Jazz' was a playful response to the popular 'acid house' movement of the late 80s. Despite its name, Acid Jazz produced records that were not necessarily jazz or acid music, but they quickly became synonymous with 90s style and sophistication. In fact, the term 'acid jazz' began being used to describe any record with a similar vibe. Today, Acid Jazz remains an influential force in the music industry.

Acid Jazz presents the long-awaited reissue of The Aloof’s cult-classic final LP This Constant Chase For Thrills. Formed in 1990, The Aloof were a pioneering electronic act, playing and touring with the likes of Massive Attack and Leftfield. After three albums with the Warner EastWest, they forged their own path, releasing This Constant Chase For Thrills on their own ‘Screaming Target’ label

Despite highlights ‘Doing It For Money’ and ‘Painted Face’ – as well as ‘So Good’, which featured in the US version of Queer As Folk – the LP didn’t get the coverage it deserved upon release.

Within a dark and moody atmosphere, there is definite Ibiza and Balearic feel to the record, showing a band with a positive DIY spirit.
