Does anyone here find it possible to do school work to anything 808 state? I find Ex:el to be my study album sometimes. Im surprised considering it containes Cubik and LeoLeo, such high energy tracks.

Whilst studying for my GCSE's (years ago now) I spent the entire time with EX:EL

, Doctor Adamski's Musical Pharmacy

and En-Tact

on random repeat, and I managed to pass them. So I can only assume that it is possible, don't listen to Bob or Zappa though or you're bound to fail

I think you know what I mean!

Well, I listened to both A Guy Called Gerald's "Hot Lemonade" album and "Ex:El" whilst studying for my degree just over a decade ago...

So, yup, it is possible, as I passed it in the end!

Yup, spent many a lazy afternoon (ahem) studying to EX:EL and it ain't done me no harm, wouldn't recommend 90 tho, too chilled out for study.

I have a special 808 chill out compilation CD I put together perfect for those relaxing moments, I don't think it would help anyone with any exams tho, unless of course you can obtain a degree in the art of 808 State, now there's a thought, why not???

I think I'd left college by the time Ex-el was released, must have studied to the sounds of the Cobra. I remember introducing 90 to my mates and we used to have it on on a walkman in the pub playing pool........bliss!!

I'd say that the first 3 tracks on the b-side of Gorgeous would be perfect. For a hole 808 album Ex:El would definetly be the best one.

But I'll tell you. Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue is the best! Period.

When I had to study hard back in the days, I would put this on repeat and put the volume so it just about masked the background noise. Sets you in the mood.

I listened to 'Excel' and The KLF 'The White Room' all the time during my A-Levels, and failed them all. I would've asked for my money back but I'd nicked the KLF tape and I wasn't giving up Excel for such a minor reason.

My favorite album to study to would ahve to be Orbus Terrarum by the Orb. Its just the ideal brain food music.

studying to 808 is pointless, all youll end up doing is ignoring your work, and listening to the phenomenal rhythm

I would have to agree about Orbus Terrarum though...you cant really dance to it, but its kickass all the same and so great to study to

Ah, a fellow Orb fan. I'm starting to feel at home now...
