Clearly I need to get with some more 808 state stuff - as for myself, I can barely listen to 'Pacific' anymore (wasn't it 'number one' in the uk? Or am I in a rare (!) obfuscated and horribly confused, er state. It was overplayed imo. But there are similar-era things which I could still go home and put on now with pleasant anticipation (FSOL's 'Papua New Guinea' comes to mind.)
As for 'Cubik', although I'm not sure if I made the connection at the time, I now think it's a poor copy of CyberSonik's 'Technarchy'. These factors, to me indicate a fragile legacy re. 808 State. But I need to hear much more of their stuff before I beg 'ladies stay dead', I admit. k >-----Original Message----- >From: Tristan Watkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 1:13 PM >To: Brendan Nelson; Toby Frith; Mann, Ravinder [CCS]; 313 >Subject: Re: (313) 808 State > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Brendan Nelson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Toby Frith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Mann, Ravinder [CCS]" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "313" <313@hyperreal.org> >Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 12:41 PM >Subject: RE: (313) 808 State > > >> If you own Ex:El then you get Pacific but also quite a few tracks which >> have dated really badly. > >Have to agree except for 'Cleo Leo'.
