Amant Music and Sanctuary Records is pleased to celebrate Lords of Acid?s unmatched musical innovation and influence on contemporary music with the release of their first retrospective, Greatest T*ts, on September 9th. The record includes three new tracks, ?Gimme, Gimme?, ?Nasty Love? and ?Stoned on Love Again?, which were recorded late last year and have not been previously available, as well as many classics such as Billboard Club Chart Toppers, ?Pussy?, ?Take Control?, ?Rough Sex?, ?Rubber Doll?, ?The Crabhouse?, ?Am I Sexy?? and more! Greatest T*ts also contains an enhanced video for ?Gimme, Gimme?. The band, originally, keyboardist/arranger Praga Khan, mixer Oliver Adams and vocalist Nikkie Van Lierop (Jade 4 U), which was formed in 1988 in Brussels, Belgium, with subsequent vocalist Lady Galore, and current vocal superstar Deborah Ostrega, have sold 2 million records in the US. The band?s first two releases, Lust and Voodoo-U, achieved gold status based mainly upon their lifestyle impact.
Lords of Acid have outperformed and outlasted many of their peers, continuing to radically define the musical landscape, incorporating bold new sounds and attitudes into their music. The band?s mix of humor, raunchiness and perversion and lyrics about cross-dressing, doggy-style sex, spanking, and rubber-fetish, has brought them a following ever-wanting more. From playing small dingy clubs with 800 people on their first US tour to large capacity venues, their combination of raunchy humor, X-rated on-stage antics, S&M imagery and hard beats, has made every LOA show the ultimate hedonistic party atmosphere.
Many of Lords of Acid?s tracks have been used in movies, (?Let?s Get High? in ?Bad Lieutenant?, ?Am I Sexy? in ?Austin Powers in Goldmember?, ?Young Boys? in ?Dogma?, and ?Take Control? in ?XXX?, among many many others), and TV (?Pussy? as well as other songs used in the HBO series ?Real Sex?, ?Drink My Honey? in the HBO series ?Sex Bytes?, and various songs used on ?A Current Affair?, ESPN commercials, MTV ?Biorhythm? specials and other shows). From the release of their first single ?I Sit on Acid? in 1989, which the New York Times? Neil Strauss called ?a flurry of pumping keyboards and shifting pitches locked into a loop of a female voice singing lascivious one-liners?, the band gained a cult following. Robert Christgau gave Lust, a ?B+? in the January 28th, 1992 issue of the Village Voice and wrote, ??here at last is product brazen and unwavering enough to live up to the canard about never underestimating the power of cheap music.?

Response to their 1994 second record Voodoo-U was equally as ecstatic. J.D. Considine said, ?A lot of dance music acts acknowledge the relationship between club life and sex, but few make the connection as explicitly as Lords of Acid do here?as much as the Lords play up the sex stuff, the album?s appeal lies more with the thumping overdrive of the synths than any of the heavy-breathing come ons. The New York Daily News? Jim Farber gave the record ?3 stars? in the December 9th, 1994 edition and proclaimed, ?It?s the most fun-loving ? and perverse ? dance record of now.? .
In 2001, Lords of Acid released the critically acclaimed Farstucker. In the May 8th, 2001 edition of the Village Voice, Michael Freedberg wrote, ?Pure witches? brew if you ask me; glam and evil?LOA?s knife-edged, staticky rhythms divide and recombine, busy and complex like 1000 conversations overlapping and intersecting?Above that clutter, however, an LOA song moves where almost no U.S. pop music moves: in and through the ether. Farstucker returns LOA to their basics. They were the group who changed Belgian techno?s outlook from icy darkness to raving bawdy mischief.? In the April 2, 2001 issue of CMJ New Music Report, M.Tye Comer reviewed the band?s fifth record and proclaimed, ?Farstucker?rumbles and writhes with a tried-and-true mix of searing guitar riffs and classic-techno tactics, resulting in a collection of randy, industrial-minded pop-metal musings.? Andrew Lentz?s preview of the band?s Los Angeles show in the March 2nd -8th issue of LA Weekly said, ?...the result is smokin??.You?ll not only walk away hot and bothered, you?ll have catchy kink anthems on the brain.?
The band?s career is not without controversy. In 1994, the band?s cover artwork for the album Voodoo-U, by cult artist Coop, as well as lyrics for the track ?Young Boys? was considered sexually explicit and the record almost didn?t get released. This happened to the band on another occasion as well. Despite a one-day shipping delay, the record was in stores as scheduled and a less explicit version of the cover was also created and in stores a month later. In 1995, Sextasy Ball?s slides used in their performance environment, including artwork by Andres Serrano and others, shown in the context of a retrospective of censorship, were confiscated as pornography and dancers were arrested for indecent exposure despite their black electric-taped nipples.
Lords of Acid have bolstered the group?s reputation for powerful live performances by touring the US extensively and gaining an impressive following. They have headlinied to as many as 250,000 fans during a given tour. Tom Maurstad, reviewing LOA?s performance at the Lizard Lounge in Dallas for the Dallas Morning News (February 21, 1995) said, ??the club looked like a scene out of some cyber-punk-porno flick?In an ani-sex, anti-drugs age, Lords of Acid revel in exhortations of both, and the crowd swayed and boiled in the blessed-out oblivion of the moment.?
The Lords distinctive sound and attitude has set them apart for years. Greatest T*ts is both a wonderful primer for the novice and an essential document of the band?s peerless considerable accomplishments for the completist.
