808 State Discussion

Channel 4's planet sound on teletext page 451, have today reported 808's new album and release date as Oct 7. 'Their first new album since 1996's Don Solaris' It also states the featured singers. Let's hope a few more people read this and decide to buy! I just can't wait to get September over with n...

Gatchaman is something to do with Japanese Anime, I think it is maybe another name for the old cartoon G-Force or Battle of the Planets as I think it was called over here. It was pretty crap anyway, they all wore shitty bird like outfits and fought this bloke with a pointy head. (anything to do with...

Here's hoping more from Spooky, some great tunes on thier previous stuff. Mr Scruff is a mix of downtempo wierdness, with jazz, funk and some bouncy beats thrown in for good measure. His album 'Keep it unreal' is quality stuff, his new offering 'Trouser Jazz' is out on 9 Sep and I think features som...

Pete, is there a new Spooky album on the way?

Just got the new FSOL album, its OK, but nothing too special.

September is a good month for releases, new Albums from Underworld & Death in Vegas, plus the excellent Mr Scruff.

The Man actually gets a holiday ???

Hey John,

Nice pics of you in the New Man Utd kit, great name on the back too! Never thought of that, I didn't reckon 3 numbers would fit!

Got your Away shirt ordered yet?

Nice review Mr Chip whoever you are.

A play on words so to speak.

Yeah, I second that Rodders, just got the Sasha album, it is pretty good. The new FSOL album is supposed to be highly chilled out, I don't know if I'll be buying it, their first effort as Amorphos Androgynous 'Tales of Ephidrena' is a nice album to relax to, but it's not much cop for banging out, bu...

Hi Everyone, Back from a nice sunny week in Benidorm. Glad to hear Castlefield was a big success, I'm not suprised Quincy's was a main highlight its one of my fave 808 'play it loud and annoy the neighbours' tracks. At my hotel, there was all the usual shitty entertainment, including some bloke play...

Yeah, Everyone who is going to Castlefield have a great time. I will unfotunately be sunning myself on the beaches of Benidorm. Anway I suppose its not a bad consolation. I'm sure 808 will rock and I can't wait to hear the reports. Gutted like hell not to be going, cannot believe how events have con...

Yes!

I got my copy of OT ordered today via a UK based import specialist, who had full details of the album. Only problem is they have release date at 31/8, but at £22.99 I ain't complaining. Hopefully I'll get it a few days after release.

Bring it on!

Outpost Transmission is now listed on http://www.gemm.com under http://www.musicimports.com, which is a US based import specialist. Info confirms bonus tracks, and release date was supposed to be 22/5/02. Only problem is the hefty $42.99 (not inc shipping) price tag. Good to see Quincy's finally get...

Thanx Mate

Its all about personal opinion. I wasn't knocking anyone for not liking Don Solaris, I was simply airing my opinion as to why I think its 808's best album. I also rank '90' as some of thier best work. Surely we can agree to disagree on some points, we are not all going to like the same thing. Thats ...

Well said mate. Don Solaris is the bollocks.

Also now we got Rio, the title will be coming back next season.
