Given that Quadrastate is only six tracks long, is there any way that the missing tracks Graham mentions here could be appended to it? That would complete the picture.
"Back in stock on vinyl. Anyone getting into electronic music in the 90's sooner or later found themselves handed over the same indisputable truth : 808 State's "Newbuild" was one of the most important electronic music records ever made and without doubt one of the definitive British Techno / Acid albums. Its seminal track "Flow Coma" has been name-checked by every electronic music producer of note in this country and beyond as an absolute masterpiece and influence on what came to follow, and the band's original lineup of Graham Massey, A Guy Called Gerald and Martin Price have gone into electronic music mythology since they stopped sharing a studio well over a decade ago. Rumours that more Newbuild era tracks were in existance have been circulating for about 3 years now, but no one imagined that the tracks would be quite THIS GOOD!. Prebuild is just immense, a hodge-podge of studio outtakes and live recordings that completely pre-defined the acid era and the squelchy shenaningans the likes of Ceephax still obsess over today. There are some rough, badly-recorded tracks here, alongside immaculately trippin' bleepy studio jackers that sound like they were recorded yesterday, and even a 14 minute live outtake from the Boardwalk Club down the road from us here in Manchester. We said it last week with the release of the New Order cover versions 12", and we'll say it again now - hard to believe that these tracks are slowly edging close to being 20 years old. Mighty."
