808 State Discussion

Aside from Graham, who are the members of the live act now? Would be interested to know.

Does anyone know what the band lineup is for this gig?

Thanks for the heads up. What form does 808 State take at gigs now? Is it Graham on his own?

Have only just found out about Andy Barker's death. What a shock – that he'd died at all; that it happened so many months ago. I haven't read about this anywhere other than here and on Discogs. Very, very sorry to hear about it.

808 ∞ and ∞ and ∞

Apologies if you already know about this double-album. According to Juno, it's due for release on Monday 6 July – tomorrow – and includes 'Flow coma' and other tracks that might be of interest:

So instead, I went down to Reckless Records on Berwick Street, and finally bought 'Let yourself go'/'Deepville', which I've never had on 12" (shameful, I know :( ), for £5. I'd forgotten just what a beautiful record this is. The ascending, whirling strings sample on 'Let yourself go' sounds lik...

The pre-release on ZTT's site did mention "hidden" tracks. But the text implied that the three previously unreleased tracks were in addition to any hidden bits. So it sounds as though Olympic (Euro bass gate mix) and Ancodiacobrabora are the two unreleased tracks, and maybe either the Mose...

Asked at Rough Trade Nottingham today. They're selling it for £50, and have ordered only three copies, so they'll get three maximum. Same price and number re. the Propaganda 4x12". So, thanks to Graham, we know it'll be cheaper in Manchester. It occurred to me – and this is a long shot, but bea...

Contrique isn't really a versus track. Maybe Lopez would have been more at home on that 12" and they could have swapped places. Yes, much more sensible. "Contrique" is no more a collaboration than, say, 808 using a sample of The Jam's "Start" or Bowie's "Chant of the e...

How is Jon Hopkins so high up the bill? He's a complete nonentity.

By the way, it's very nice to see Markus, NickKing and Ancodia still online for 808 after all these years. You lot are hardcore die-hards and keepers of the flame.

The Eno 7" of Lopez is indeed on Blueprint . I can see only two unreleased things on here so far, but having said this, Ian Peel (who has compiled this, and, as usual, hasn't done it in any way I'd have liked) has previously given standard names to previously unreleased mixes, eg. the slightly ...

Moses was released as a promo CD . Sorry – right you are. I'd never seen that before. Is it much different to the album version? Could be this: Cübik (State to Pan Am Mix)? That's already on CD2 of the Ex:el remastered CD. I'm guessing that "Ancodiacobrabora" is some kind of medley, or pe...

Shorn of all the Ian Peel guff, here's what the 808 set amounts to: Four States of 808 4 x 12" 27 tracks / 3 tracks previously unreleased / 3 new to vinyl 1 Pacific (303) Pacific (B) Magical Dream (Instrumental) State to State 80808080808 Ancodiacobrabora 2 Cübik (State to Pan Am Mix) In Yer Fa...
