| |             "an a-z of rave: 808 state to f.s.o.l."            | |
| | this year i'm taking an alphabetical look at early 1990's rave | |
| | music: old skool hardcore and jungle plus cheesy top-40 dance! | |
| :----------------------------------------------------------------: |
| | today's show started and finished with two very big dance acts | |
| | from the early 90's: 808 state and the future sound of london. | |
| | 808 state was formed in '88 by graham massey, martin price and | |
| | gerald simpson (better known as a guy called gerald, more from | |
| | him next week) and in this show i played some of their earlier | |
| | hits including the beautiful 'pacific state'. the three tracks | |
| | from f.s.o.l. began with a gorgeous one too - the huge classic | |
| | 'papua new guinea' - followed by a more ravey track as stakker | |
| | and a lesser-known tune recorded as indo tribe. other personal | |
| | highlights from the rest of the programme were 'rubb it in' (a | |
| | big 1990 techno-trance anthem) and 'in complete darkness' (co- | |
| | produced by slipmatt and now a very popular old skool anthem). | |
