808 State Discussion

Fanstastico

Just had to say it. I love it.

'Nuff said.

Welcome to the forum, red.

When you say that it's the early stuff you're in to - do you mean you don't like recent releases or have you just not heard anything since Ex:El?

I love Cobra Bora as well. The only recent track that has come close to it in my affections has been Invader.

I think its a fair comment. Didn't Graham himself say that he thought there were too many ideas in 'Lift' and that it shouldn't have been released as a single? Personally, I think that the creation of multi-layered rich dance music is an incredibly difficult thing to do and it is what makes 808 stan...

Sorry Dave. It was the most intense auction I've ever been involved in.

Keep looking. Another one will turn up.

I won it!!!! (Well 'won' is not really the right word - I have to pay £30).

Was the other dude who was bidding against me right down to the last second anyone on here?

Sitting by the letter-box now.

There's one on eBay:

Here for 99p

The Rochdale Observer reported over the weekend that this festival could be either cancelled or relocated. Apparently, the land owner now wants £300,000 for the use of the land which is far too much.

Knew it was too good to be true!

What a set!!!

It's a shame it wasn't recorded so we can all share in the delight that is 808. Or was it?????? We need more on the live page.

Just found this on eBay:

Some cheeky bleeder is selling the radio shows!!!!!! Even using the picture from globalState of Andy and Daz!

Sounds great. A year is not too long to wait.

I hope I do get in for free but knowing my luck I'll live 6 feet outside the radius.

YEAH!

808 in my back garden - fantastic!

Nothing is ever as good as when you were 'a lad'. Why do you think we're all downloading radio shows from 1991 instead of listening to the radio in 2005? The only exception to this rule is 808 - you just don't know it at the time. When I saw Don Solaris in Our Price back in 1996, I thought "Gre...

Maybe its time for a 'Visuals' section to complement the 'Sounds' section, eh- markus?

Just spent an evening at my mates listening to the 808 Radio shows. I thought I was 17 again.

Thanks Marcus, thanks 808 and thanks properoldskool. History has been preserved.

For me, they were at their best when Johannes Schmoelling was part of the line-up. Therfore, I'd recommend:

• Tangram
  White Eagle
  Exit
  Hyperborea

That's the beauty of Tange - everyone prefers a different era.
