808 State Discussion

22 is AOC - Slow Motion Riot

Finally nailed it. Now I gotta find it.

Very interesting interview. I'm always delighted when artist take the time out to do something like this. Graham, you mention a local John Hurst, as an influence on what shaped you from the original Biting Tongues way of making music, to the having the aid of sequencers and synthesizers. Was he an i...

The Beat Is The Law watched and enjoyed.

Now gotta dig out some music from Chakk and HULA.

Love these docus on British indie and underground. Very inspiring.

While we're at it (industrial north). Be sure to locate and watch the docu Synth Britiannia.

Looks to be yet another documentary about a slice of brilliant British indie music.

Will dig out.

Thanks.

Anybody know of online resources with information on the FON studio in Sheffield? An umbrella, that as far as I can see also spawn a record store and label.

This is just awesome. Just imagine that things like this happend, let alone was broadcasted on television. Thanks for sharing. I WISH for the Pacific performance for OSM to surface. Like wise, I still hope that you will dig up and share the special Pacific remix used in 808 State performances i 1990...

Was 808 State contribution to the show concentrated on the segment, where their music is listed? Or was there stuff dropped in elsewhere.

Trying to get an overview of a three hour broadcast.

Looks pretty wild - and interesting.

Nice work.

I just wanna tell you, that the MTV stuff (like the interview) might be pulled off pretty quickly. If you have a way of scrambling the MTV-logo it might work for a longer time, as it might be a matter of automatic detection of things like that.

Ace.

808 on Partyzone. Yeah. I asked TWO guys to tape that for me. Wouldn't chance it being forgotton or timer screwed up.

I might add, that the Roskilde 1991 festival was washed away in rain and mud. It broke the record up to that point of how much rain the festival saw, and they didn't know how to prepare for that or handle it.

Might explain why the lads to an extend was unhappy about it all.

Well. I guess we can blame Darren and Martin for that. Also, I guess there was a bit rebelliousness towards the sort of music that festivals represented back then. Electronic dance music was an attitude towards the rock'n'roll and its followers. Thanks for the effort for bringing that live version o...

It is. He picks the comment about festivals being like animals at zoo.

Check the 808 State in Iceland (with Bjork) clips for more Martin. I guess it is on Tube.
