808 State Featured New Release Quadrastate (Rmst) Just in time for the much heralded 20th Anniversary of Rave this summer, 808 STATEís classic ëQuadrastateí album finally gets a re-release ater the other two albums in the Rephlex trilogy, ëNewbuildí and ëPrebuildí. Originally released on Creed Records, these recordings were born in Manchester in the months after the second Summer of Love, in 1988/9. These tracks were hugely influential to the popular electronic dance music explosion that soon followed all around the world. This is the album where we originally heard the international hit song, "Pacific". The bandís rare debut single, "Let Yourself Go / Deepville is included on this album, together with the inclusion of some other previously-unreleased alternate versions and outtakes. Itís the first time ever that the tracks have been released on CD and the entire project has been lovingly remastered, to the customary Rephlex high standards. GRAHAM MASSEY, ANDREW BARKER & DARREN PARTINGTON have been the line up of 808 State since mid 1991 (until their last album "Outpost Transmisions in 2002). Formed in 1988, previous members (A Guy Called) Gerald Simpson and (Eastern Bloc Records Founder) Martin Price also feature on "Quadrastate". As with many producer teams, the combination of influences and characteristics is what makes the sound unique. "Quadrastate" still has a fresh sound; incredibly bouncy basslines, pioneering use of breakbeats and all the energy and inspiration of analog-digital-hybrid jams. The full 808 State live band will be playing festivals and gigs throughout 2008(Warehouse Project MCR, Primavera festival Barcelona, Gatecrasher Festival, Bestival etc).
