 * Dusted Reviews - 808 State *
Having already reissued Rebuild, 808 State’s 1988 debut and a batch of early New Order remixes, Rephlex has dug further into the vaults to produce Prebuild, a collection of unreleased studio recordings, demos, a radio session and 808’s first live performance.
Surprisingly, the most disappointing tracks are the two released on 12” as The Lounge Jays, “Massagerama” and “Sex Mechanic”; both sound extremely dated with a combo of embarrassing sexual moans and annoying vocal samples cluttering the entire affair with a generic and clumsy vibe.
Therein lies 808 State’s most important accomplishment, mapping the route for future bedroom electronic manipulators everywhere with their own experimental tone, celebrated fully on Prebuild.

Quadrastate, which included some input from Simpson, helped to establish the new line-up as premier exponents of UK dance music, with the attendant "Pacific State" single becoming a massive underground hit which crossed over to the UK Top 10 at the end of 1989.
A lucrative contract with ZTT Records proved to be a mixed blessing for the band, however, as they were lumped in with the pervading "Madchester' indie/dance boom.
808 State persevered with another fine album, 1993's Gorgeous, which saw a new rash of collaborations.

 808 state, prebuild
Anyone getting into electronic music in the 90's sooner or later found themselves handed over the same indisputable truth : 808 State's "Newbuild" was one of the most important electronic music records ever made and without doubt one of the definitive British Techno / Acid albums.
Rumours that more Newbuild era tracks were in existance have been circulating for about 3 years now, but no one imagined that the tracks would be quite THIS GOOD!.
We said it last week with the release of the New Order cover versions 12", and we'll say it again now - hard to believe that these tracks are slowly edging close to being 20 years old.

 808 STATE Prebuild
Undeniably one of the most influential acts of the late eighties/early nineties, 808 State can be credited with being partly responsible for the explosion of the acid house movement in the UK.
Although Simpson left early on, the trio recorded one of the most significant acid records of that period in the shape of Newbuild, originally released on Price’s Creed Records.
After a four-year hiatus, 808 State reappeared with a more complex and experimental record, Don Solaris, before celebrating their ten years in 1998 with a compilation.
