5, KINKY NATIONAL
6, REVENGE OF THE GIRLIE MEN
7, STATE TO STATE (utd state 90)

any more?

[solarex]

Yes. 90 is the easiest bonus disc to compile. And 909 is the most mandatory of every track I can think off. But it should also have Pacific State. Perhaps 303 too, now that the space is there.

There is also a radio edit of Ancodia remix, that made it to video and 7" whitelabel.

Ooooh wouldn't it be great to see the Quadrastate tracks appear? Or are they being saved for a seperate release. Anyway the 909 remix of Pacific would be good as would the Taters remix.

[markus]

Quadrastate is off-limits. You'll find out why when I've updated the news page

[Mark]

This sounds exciting!!!

[PeteZarustica]

VERY EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


--------------------------------------

One track that should be in it is the FULL version of the CobraBora Shortcut - which is awesome and crippled (as we can only hear 1 minute of it) Does anyone know if this particular mix has a full lenght version anywhere?

[solarex]

Almost forgot that one or perhaps even two of the Pacific US remixes should be in there.

[nickking]

As long as the "Extended Pleasures Of Dance" mixes are included, then I'd be satisfied. Obviously, "Pacific State" would be included on the "Quadrastate" reissue, but definitely include "Pacific 909" on there (especially for those who don't have the US Promo CD single)!

[PeteB]

i'd personally leave off remixes by other artists / remixers, just keep to the 808 remixes - only 1 pacific remix please - 909

[markus]

Phew, after the most difficult of all (Gorgeous) to the simplest. But is it that simple?

1, ANCODIA (Taters deep)
2, COBRA BORA (call the cops)
3, PACIFIC 909
4, BONEYWEEN
5, KINKY NATIONAL
6, REVENGE OF THE GIRLIE MEN
7, STATE TO STATE (utd state 90)
any more?

I totally agree with 1, 2 & 3. And also with PeteZ's suggestion for the CobraBora Shortcut as a gimmick.
However not too sure on tracks 4-7 as they would be straight off Utd State 90 and as such not rare. Hopefully Graham has some alternate versions locked up somewhere. Any other suggestions? I sort of like the idea to keep it short and simple on this one. Original disc 8 tracks, bonus disc 8 tracks.

[Rodders]

completely agree on tracks 1-3, and that the utd state 90 should only go on if there's nothing else.

i know it's been mentioned before somewhere else, but can graham confirm if there is/isn't there a different mix of 'the fat shadow' around? and i personally think it would be good to have the 0101 remix edit on there

sorry if im repeating other posts, i'm at work and on a time limit.

[markus]

While pondering on Pacific 101, I just remembered there's that Pacific b version, exclusive to 7" and cassingle, in CD format it only appeared on a 1998 out-of-print Rave compilation called Classic Rave.

[solarex]

However not too sure on tracks 4-7 as they would be straight off Utd State 90 and as such not rare.

So what? This is plenty of room. I will defend to the last my view on the bonus packs. Between the ordinary UK CDs and these bonus disc you should find atleast one version of every 808 track released in their own name (the MP3 releases not incounted). That means US 90 tracks too.

I feel the beauty of these packs as all you ever need except for more remixes. For newbees and for us, as easier access than the vinyl. And with listenable albums. With, I hope, better sound quality.

Hopefully Graham has some alternate versions locked up somewhere. Any other suggestions?

I have wet dreams (for 15 years) about the Pacific version ending off Optical 90 (end titles). It MUST excist between Howard Whamsleys basement, Grahams basement, the 808 dust-bin and ZTT. As the show was obviously recorded. Also, it is studio made, so there must excist an "original" version. I feel the snippit on Optical 90 has "live" sampler/turntable drop-ins.

This version sounds so cool. A dub mix. For years I felt confident it excisted on vinyl, but I have never been able to identify that particular sequence.

I challenge everybody to find that exact minute. Anywhere.


But speaking of the 90 bonus CD I would like to divide it into an era bonus and a Pacific mini EP. As these track are absolutely essential 808 archive. Crusial. And a collection that with 202 on the CD makes it up.

Like this.

4:49 Cobra Bora (call the cops mix)
5:37 Ancodia (taters deep nit funky beat mix)
6:09 Boneyween
3:58 Kinky National [remix of "State Ritual"]
4:16 Revenge Of The Girlie Men [remix of "Disco State"]
5:50 State To State (us90 mix)

6:31 Pacific State (origin)
5:46 Pacific 718
5:56 Pacific 808:98
7:05 Pacific 909 (mellow birds mega edit)
2:49 Bonus Bird Beats
?:??(hopefully long) Pacific (Optical 90 end titles version)

Just the way I see it.

[markus]

The Pacific mini album is debatable, but please not the 98 version. Not that I have anything against it, just it's a different era.

[newbuild]

1 Pacific 707 (3:56)
2 Pacific State (Origin) (6:28)
3 Pacific 303 (6:28)
4 Cobra Bora (Shortcut) (1:10)
5 Pacific 909 (Mellow Birds Mega Edit) (7:05)
6 Bonus Bird Beats (2:49)
7 Cobra Bora (6:22)
8 Cobra Bora (Call The Cops Mix) (4:49)
9 Ancodia (Taters Deep Nit Funky Beat Mix) (5:37)
10 Cübik (3:36)

the singles/ep alone would near 50 minutes-leaving another half-hour for unreleased material-or alternate mixes...
