The 808 State YouTube link thread

First time I've heard this Tunes track (which comes in about half-way through):

Anyone have more info on it?

Wow, a real treasure. I doubt there's any 808 involvement, but who knows. This is what the person who put it up says:

"MC Tunes demonstrates the advantages ... MC Tunes demonstrates the advantages you can have with the pro action replay cart for the sega megadrive. He also does a "very dated" rap around the 3:12 mark.

I got this video free with Sega Pro magazine back in 92. I thought the action replay cart was good, but i prefered the game genie."

I think I remember "Me and Baby Brother" being on his second unreleased ztt album..

[IanPeel]

Great to hear some of the unreleased second album at last. I thought it had all the hallmarks of that one... And only goes to prove what a double-edged sword it is: the rapping's far better than TNAIT but the music has dated quite badly.

[808state's Tartan Army]

Brilliant, thanks.

Surely the dated music adds to it?

What hapened to the second album, did it even get to the promo stage?

I believe that if you got in touch with the nickylockett.com site (don't believe it still exists?), they did offer to send a copy of the second album to those that asked... Unfortunately, I never did...

[graham]

I think Trevor Horn worked on the second album,I know we didnt
Howard Walmsleys got loads of video from this period ..he just followed Nicky round for a couple of years ,so theres a lot of it some where.
.I had heard a recent rumour that the Dust Junkeys may be doing a gig in MCR ...

Continuing the MC Tunes discussion on a new thread.

1990 dancefloor action with In Yer Face.

Surprisingly good sound.

[markus]

Totally nice one! Mental mental!

[markus]

I decided to watch (well, in the background) all 7 of them. The same In Yer Face action is already included in part 5 too, kicking-in at around 06:00. Obviously Hardcore Uproar was the tune of the moment, Sasha dropping it three times in one night!

[mezerik]

Some quality vids here and gonna be downloading them now i've got the firefox add on. Been after something like this for ages now.

[Rayla]

Just to let you know, the clip with The Butthole Surfers on is mine. I'd've cut them off, but I forgot. Sorry. Or I didn't know how to. I forget. I know now, but they feel like they belong there now.

I came across this place when researching the detail of a clip from The Other Side of Midnight I've just uploaded to You Tube of 808 State doing 'Pacific State' I'm assuming it's the unaccounted for July 89 clip. If not, let me know and I'll amend it.
