808 State Discussion

Good to hear that the rerelease will also be a remastered version. I'll look forward to it!

I always thought it was off sueno latino..

Come on Graham, it must be about time for a remaster!

... you used to .. used to hold.. used to hold me.. used to hold me so .. aaaaahhaaaaa

I've developed a habit of trying to hunt down original records that have been sampled on some of the tunes I've got. Great, thanks.

Ahh, just listening to 90 again.. getting all nostalgic!
When it was recorded it must have been done with some really dodgy monitors because whenver I've played it over the years I've had to crank the bass and treble right up for it to sound right!
Still a classic though.

Hello I used to post on here a while back - nice to see some of the 'hardcore' are still regulars on here! Apologies if this has been answered a hundred times before over the years but.. I heard one of the original tunes sampled off Ancodia recently and I'm after a title and artist name. Not "U...

Here is my opinion, for what it’s worth. When I was a nipper, 808 State came along with the Pacific 707 single, which charted at about number 10 (I think). I was a teenager and thought it was a great record. I bought 90 on MC and became obsessed. Then 808 State released the Extended Pleasure of Danc...

Good interview. I agree about the whole thing of people going out to big commercial superclubs in designer outfits snorting coke and drinking alco-pops and all the rest of it. Clubbing should be about going out with your mates and letting yourself go, hearing some good tunes not worrying about what ...

I wouldn't pay much attention to the reviews in Q or M8 magazine. Their opinion doesn't matter to me and I don't read either mag anyway. Q say the Underworld album is below average (2* the same as OT) but other people I know think it's a great album, one of their best. I'll make up my own mind about...
