Well 2008 is drawing to a close and what a great year it was for 808 State. Re releases of back catalogue albums with bonus discs, live appearances (which sadly i could not get to any of them) and best of all Quadrastate, remastered and released finally on glorious CD.
So what about 2009? I am hoping for a new album, or maybe even a mention of a new album for release sometime in 2010. Erasure keep knocking out new albums even though they are not really in the public eye anymore and like 808 they have a big fan following and thus sell albums. Maybe 808 should sign to Mute Records! ha ha. Seriously!
I am also hoping Mr Massey has some more exclusive tracks for the sounds page. A new CD cover for downloadable tracks is already planned for when we have an albums worth of new material. Any ideas for a name for the album? Maybe markus could arrange a competition to pick a name, just for fun.
Well we will have to wait and see what 2009 brings. Thankyou to Markus and everybody who keeps this web site running, keeping the dream alive
