Melodic Acid-Inspired Oddities

Lately I've been really into the old acid sounds from the late 80's and early 90's.
Here are a few standout acid tracks that put melody in the spotlight and are really worth a listen:
The first track is a great Acid House track by 808 State called Flow Coma.
I find this track particularly nice because of how it veers into more abstract territory than most
Acid House with its engaging melody.
Next up is a track by Plastikman. I really could have put up any of his tracks.
It's hard to pick favorites with him, but I think this track does well to show what sets Plastikman's
sound apart from others with its dark, bending, and evolving melody.
Lastly, a track by Hieroglyphic Being. This man makes more music than one can keep up with.
This track shows his purposefully unpolished sound. It's outsider Acid for the adventurous listener.
The electrified pan flute sounding melody has me coming back to this track again and again...so good!
