I'm in love with the track Flow Coma remix by AFX - 808
State, so I ask to the 808 experts: Which album do you
suggest me by them?

There's that really famous track by them that's re-released
every few years. I forget the name. I've got a 7" of them
vs. MC Tunes that's pretty good too.

I have the 808 State singles comp (with the fish tank on the
front) I really think I need to look at their new stuff
soon. :/

I think the CD I have is 808:88:98

Did any of you hear the remix 808 state did for Audioweb?
That was great! I have it on promo vinyl and CD.

Something that made me think "atlantic drive" or something
similair. I don't think it's actually that, but I associate
the title with that.

Is the 808 state remix of 'Into my world' worth anything to
collecters on vinyl?

yes the fish tank is 808:88:98. Ive got that album as well.
its v.good. I recomend another album by them called EX:EL i
think. quality tunes on it like cubik and songs from that
period.

808 State had varying amounts of street cred in the late
80's early 90's, when A Guy Called Gerald was still a member
the produced their best work, even though they went on and
gave the guy NO recognition whatsoever for helping to
kickstart their career. Newbuild is without doubt one of
the most important albums released in that era, that and of
course Geralds 'Voodoo Ray'. 'Ninety' is a decent album
although some it sounds quite dated, EX:EL is slightly
ropier although it did sound mint when it came out,
particularly the multilayerd production which tasted very
niec with a cup of LSD. But for their best work try and
track down the collaboration with Jon Hassel, 'Voiceprint'
an amazing track that sounds very contemporary, even by
todays standards. unlike Cubik, in yer face and any of that
shit they done with mc tunes

I think the track is "Pacific State" (808 State) which is on
of those amazing early house tunes that came out in 88 or
summat.

I downloaded the album united state 90, but it is nothing
special, imo.
Apart the track "Cubik" that was very famous in the first
techno period here in Italy.

Ah, didn't know AGCG was a member!

Diablo: Yes, that's it! Cheers, that track reminds me of
lying on the bed in my brother's room reading DC comics
whilst listening to electronic music from around that time.
I think I was about 9/10 when I first heard it. I love that
track.

newbuild still sounds great 14 years on, and ninety is quite
good (still).

i lost interest after that, they started to do stuff with
barney sumner & neil tennant etc which just sounded dull.

gerald simpson was the obvious talent of the group. if you
compare gerald's hot lemonade album with nintey by 808 state
its pretty obvious.

there's also a 12" called born in the north by a guy called
gerald, if anyone has it i'd bite their hands off.

Well, I'd get your hands on Utd. 90 (which is the american
release of Newbuild, but it has more tracks), Ex:El, and
808:88:98.

All three albums are great, and whatever you do, make sure
to get your hands on all the versions of 'Pacific.' It's a
classic!

My mistake, I meant to say that utd. 90 was the American
release of the album '90.' Get the american version, it's
better as I said earlier.
