808 STATE
Outpost Transmission
(Circus)
A problem with dance music is naming tracks. What do you call a record that goes, ‘Beep, bur-blum-blum, weedly-weedly-wee… beep raaa’? The tracklist when we went to press included Fat German, Chopsumwong, and Roundbum Mary – difficult single to market. It doesn’t sound modern, there’s no 140bpm tracks, but then we dance too fast now anyway. A return to electro for 808, helped by Simian, Elbow and Alabama 3. Not bad.
