808 State Discussion

Have you recovered yet?

News in the Rochdale Observer yesterday says that Deeply Vale has now been cancelled due to the landowner wanting £350,000 and a share of the profits. It mentions that Graham Massey of 808 State played there last time with Danny And The Dressmakers. Blimey - first time I've seen 808 mentioned in our...

Give us a clue?

What are you talking about?

40?????

You are joking, aren't you?

Happy birthday.

Do you think he was brought up by chickens?

Great to hear from you Andy. Happy birthday.

I actually thought my suggestion was a a serious one.

Anyway, if you're running out of space now but the intention is to put them all on, then no matter what encoding you use, you'll run out again.

All the best. Hope it goes well.

I agree that the higher the better. However, also understand the need for space.

So what's his problem? He needs to give it a rest and use his energy to create intelligent top notch tun...

Fantastic news. N-Joi are class and Inside Out is one of my fave non-808 albums.

Here's hoping a new album appears soon.
