808 State is one of the most influential groups of the electronic scene from the end of the eighties to the nineties. Their first album, 'Ninety', recorded in Manchester in 1989, was a testimonial of a new paradigm in dance music in a mixture of breakbeats, melodies, elegant atmospheres, strange effects, aesthetic drop outs, basslines of 303, and many other influences, inspiring a whole bunch of different artists of the nineties as well as the rave scene. Clearly different from the other artists, they absorbed the influences of hip hop, acid house and even Detroit techno and transformed them in a new kind of electronic music style. The main track of the album was one of the greatests classics of that period: ‘Pacific 202’, a mixture of acid basslines, a saxophone sequence and atmospheric synths in a clear jazzy climax. ‘Magical Dream’ represented a lovely combination of melodic bass & synths with breakbeat and the nice vocals of Vanessa. In ‘Ancodia’, some scratch effects were used in the melodic breakbeat base, joining the elements of hip hop, dub, house with new melodies.
‘Donkey Doktor’ borrowed the sample of the Detroit classic track, Cybotron’s ‘Techno City’ and added it with a melodic and futuristic breakbeat structure. 'Ancodia', had vocal chorus samples and scratching, with clear hip hop influences; 'Cobra Bora' was a litle bit faster kind of breakbeat, more dancefloor, with a drop out full of climax & melodies, but ‘Sunrise’ had a different approach in a strange, ethereal and sinister kind of music. Album Reviews (c/o www.discog.com) Hands down - one if the most important electronic/early techno recordings, ever. Recorded in Manchester '89 during the 24 Hour Party People days on Trevor Horn's forward-thinking label ZTT. We've got a very credible vibe in these tunes and this helped to raise the bar on overall sound and production (i.e Future Sound of London or Renegade Soundwave)-at the same time there's some sublte wacky stuff on here. 'Pacific 202' is a masterpiece and is a major timeline marker.
In the late 1980s, 808 State asked themselves a couple of important questions: Was it possible to get the masses to rise up and embrace instrumental beatscapes? Download 808 State - Plan 9 FLAC (1993) or any other file from Music category. HTTP download also available at fast speeds.
808 State In Yer Face Bicep Remix
His LP has some of the most complex and beautiful drum programming you are likely to ever hear. Makes you wonder what happened to not just these guys but to the scene as a whole. After a masterpiece like this which is truly blueprint for that big sound that everybody attempted to immitate. Check out 'Cobra Bora'. Just when you think it has done it's thing, it takes off to another level.
Pure techno jazz of the very highest order. An absolute masterpiece from start to finish. This is more apparent now than ever before and although to the untrained ear (or novice) this may sound dated, its only because of those big stadium sounds (as used on ie. Cubik) that will make people think this.
Unaware to them, It was these guys and more to the point, this LP that came above all, first in line with that sound. This is a classic of monumental proportion and defines that year not just by title alone but to hear it, is to go back to the finest techno music of that that year, 90. Ahh, the memories.

Add to all this two of the best techno singles from the early '90s – 'In Yer Face,' a subtly politicized anti-American slammer, and the almighty 'Cubik' (in America replaced by an astonishing remix of the same song, the original having appeared on Utd. State 90) – and Ex:El stands out all the more strongly. A true masterpiece. 808 State - Gorgeous (1992) MP3 CBR 224 kbps Time: 56'42' 97 MB RAR Electronic, Techno, Acid House 808 State are Graham Massey, Andrew Barker, Darren Partington. They formed back in 1988 in 'Eastern Bloc', a DJ record shop in Manchester England run by Martin Price. Gorgeous is 808 State's most vocal-oriented effort, and features a number of fairly anonymous guest singers.
On this album they use an assortment of vintage and contemporary equipment, including old analogue synths and now-quaint drum machines, in their sonic fabric. Something that would be recognizable to anyone who was into House music around the late 80's.
