808 State Discussion

The last photo. It’s cool 808 State still used vintage synths and drum machines.

Tokyo reminds me a bit of Kraftwerk - Elektro Kardiogramm. You can mix Bombadin chants over the first track Ujala. I still miss the album 90 days with the orchestra stabs and synth portamento riffs. The old school flavor. Like how 808 State brought back some sampling. Be interesting if they brought ...

I hear the Weather Report influence. Bad joke. Like Marconi. Good job blokes.

The first track will be called no techno, no...no...no techno.

Wow! I didn't realize I posted so much crap here. What a wnker. Well instead of mixes here's a radio show concept. The concept is just play fun old dated retro dance tunes and call it an oldies format. The show is structured like a radio station with station ID's. Some Manchester talent in there inc...

That's a tune. Nice string melody at the 1 minute mark.

This is not trolling although it's kind of funny. Artist that sound like 808 State. The lost members that should've joined. This guy from Indonesia sounds so much like 808 State Live.

808 State - EX:EL (Album Review) http://youtu.be/0qrfc3cjV_Q The Wonky Angle Published on Jan 6, 2018 Good to see young people discovering 808 State. edit - I didn't hear his other 808 State album reviews but spot on I'd say in evaluating the tracks. Pretty much how people in the very early 90s saw ...

I'm actually looking for decent dance music for laptop DJ sets, there's a lot of poor taste EDM and dance music out there. 808 State did a decent job, so did Juan Atkins.

Flexi Disc have a cool lo-fi sound to them but wear out pretty fast. Number stations remind of physical trace UFOlogist Ted Phillips talking about electronic signals from supposed aliens placed around the earth pulsing every two seconds. Maybe some type of beacon. 1:13:00 mark TED PHILLIPS - The Phy...

A good idea for the US is maybe a Madchester tour comprising of different people from that era from different groups, the mondays, inspirals, 808 state, Gerald whatever. It doesn't have to be the lead singer or an entire group but like the drummer from one group or lead guitarist, a manchester DJ se...

damn i may have to go to that.

Hey Graham, thanks for posting those links. It looks like the NPR segment nicked a part from the BBC radio 4 interview. I recognized the "kick drum, vibrate bodies" part. The woman with the British accent sounded similar as well. Edit- It may have been BBC Word Service that airs in the US instead of...

I just heard Graham Massey on NPR radio in America about the passing of the Japanese inventor of the 808. It sounded like maybe a snippet pulled form an 808 doc or something. A woman in a European accent said the 808 became popular again in the 1990s with artist using "beat breaks" inspired by Kool ...
