808 State Discussion

hello globalstate! It's been a while!

I'm researching a university essay and seem to remember reading a great quote from Graham a while ago about how an artist's sound is formed by the equipment they use. I've checked the discography pages on this site and various interviews like the Milk Factory ...

This is fascinating! Always been a fan of, and massively influenced by, the 808 visual style, so this is incredibly useful. Cheers!

Hey 808ers, it's been a while.

I'm doing some research into graphic design and one piece I'm referencing is the album cover for Ninety, which has always been a favourite of mine. However I haven't been able to dig up any information on its designers, and if possible I'd really like to know who ...

I gotta say I was slightly disappointed by that free tune, but I checked some of the new ones being played at festivals on Youtube and I have to say, some of the tunes are definitely amongst the Prodigy's best!

Flow Coma...jesus wish I could have been there to witness that!

I think that's the greatest lineup of any music event I've ever seen.

Haha afraid I've been a bit less enthusiastic with my vote :P.

I only say this though as I'm lucky to live in London - there is a good chance of the band playing here (as at Wang! recently) and although I would go to Manchester to see them, that isn't too far. If I lived in, say, Beijing, I'm sure ...

ED COX!!!!! Clowncore is awesome.

Damn good lineup.

And 'The Chisler'. I'd love to be able to hear this full length with Mr. Bradfield, Graham, how come this mag have got their hands on it first?

Saw it in the Zavvis/HMVs in central London, but not in the local (Bromley) one. I personally bought it from Warpmart however.

Apparently there have been great responses from shops in Japan for the 808 State Deluxe Editions - all 4 albums managed to enter the TOWER RECORDS top 10 chart, both club/dance and pop/rock categories.

That's great! Japan is sounding more and more like a great country for 808 State (Sexy ...

Once again, some of the pages are graphics-heavy!

All the better for it! Nicely done, very interesting to look at.

biggest ever hit - one in ten

i think they should've checked first!

In terms of the charts, One In Ten certainly wasn't 808's highest charting hit (the press release should really have made that clearer), BUT it seems to have been their highest selling according to Graham:

The track with UB40 ...
