808 State Discussion

!!! Haha! was worth waiting for the surprise :D this looks brilliant! More than twice as many tracks as the original EP! Both CD and LP on HMV Japan here: CD: http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/2711190 LP: http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/2711191 Note that according to this site the vinyl only i...

wow that is one f-ing lineup!

NME gave it 3/10, but then again they gave Autechre's Untilted 2/10 and Oasis' Be Here Now more than What's The Story (Morning Glory)?, which among many, many others are awful cock-ups by the NME writers. If past experience is right that probably means that this album is pretty darn good (NME even a...

Happy Birthday!

There was some article in the Guardian Extra the other day about the Tenori-On...apparently Peter Gabriel and Bjork have them too.

Bought the album today, given it a bit of a listen, so far I really like it ('Simmm' is one of the cleverest things they've ever done). I also caught them live yesterday in London, one hell of a gig!!

God how I wish I was 18.

Can't quite give 10 gigs, but my top 5 albums of 2007 (not in order): Attack Decay Sustain Release-Simian Mobile Disco (Wichita) Idealism-Digitalism (Kitsune) Chicago, Detroit, Redruth-Luke Vibert (Planet Mu) Rushup Edge-The Tuss (Rephlex) Volume One-Ceephax (Rephlex) Best EP: Ub3r L33t N00b Br34k5-...

Yo!

Time for a bit of http://www.808state.com/sounds/mp3/mass ... xmas05.mp3 methinks.

That was one of the first 808/Massey tracks I ever got!

Merry Christmas!

I guess there was the Massonix album and the Wang! performance, if the DAT of that comes through it would kind of act as a modernisation of the original 808 State acid sound...I thought it sounded remarkably relevant and contemporary in today's world of throwback acid/techno tracks. As for a new ful...

AUTECHRE: NEW ALBUM - QUARISTICE

We are proud to announce that Autechre will release their new album 'Quaristice' on Warp Records in early 2008.

More details to follow...

Looking forward to it!!

DAMN RIGHT!! :D Also, 808:90 features in the book '1001 Albums To Hear Before You Die', described as 'the artistic statement the rave generation were previously denied'. 808 are so underrated nowadays though :-?, does no-one realise that 'Newbuild' is the best acid album ever hands-down (IMHO! :) )?

(On Dee3s advice :D ...) There are a fair few good net-labels out there offering free music, that is also of a high quality. As well as www.thinner.cc and www.audioaubergine.com (as both mentioned in the 'mixes to download...' thread), there are others and also labels that offer their previously rel...

The Thinner stuff is really great, why are so many net labels completely overlooked??? I recommend www.audioaubergine.com too, their releases from Paul Blackford should appeal to fans of 808.

But I digress. Keep up the mixes Dee3!

Yeah I met Sean at the Wang! party too! We didn't talk a lot about the new album, though. I thought 'Untilted' had some mind boggling moments so im looking forward to it! Or maybe they're going to go crazy and go back to the dancefloor styles of 'Cavity Job'??? :P Also, the new Gescom EP has some br...
