808 State Discussion

These prices are just silly.. I grabbed my mint copy off ebay for 11 quid last year.

This gave me a good laugh..

Anyone gonna bid??

I've watched the last few copies sold on ebay, and they all went for around £15.

That was fun!

It's an early version of Contrique.. If I remember correctly it's the last track on State To State.

Is that Forceable Lobotomy mix that bad? Or was there another reason it was withdrawn so quickly?

Sure they meant the departure of Martin Price? Kinda puts the review into perspective.

Been looking forward to this movie for ages.. and now I'm looking forward to the soundtrack too!

I think the trailer is still up at the Michael Dowse site: http://www.michaeldowse.com/preview2.html

Is the TB949 promo the only cd that 909 appears on? It's my favourite version of Pacific, and I'm desperate to get it on cd but having no luck at all finding it.

I quite like roundbum mary

I totally agree.. it's a disappointing release for me too. To be honest, I haven't really liked much they've done since Block Rockin Beats and Setting Sun.

Been waiting for a Quadrastate cd release for the best part of 10 years, so that would be a "HELL YES!".

On the contrary, I think it's the elaborate engineering that makes the tracks.

The simple tunes are nice party tracks/floor-fillers, but not my personal favourites.

Can you give an example of a track that you think is over-engineered?

Hey Paul, that was me who bought the Cubik cd!

Small world.. or Net rather

Don't suppose you'll be selling that promo cd on ebay? [grin] Been after that for a while myself.
