| |                     "the state of the 808"                     | |
| | today's programme featured a selection of tunes by dance music | |
| | pioneers 808 state, formed by martin price, gerald simpson and | |
| | graham massey in 1988 and named after the classic roland tr808 | |
| | drum machine. the tracks reflected the diversity of the band's | |
| | early output with seminal late-80's acid house, simpson's solo | |
| | classic 'voodoo ray', timeless ambient-house with 'pacific', a | |
| | full-on rap from m.c. tunes, prettier but typically quirky vox | |
| | from björk and a distinctive killer bassline on 'in yer face'. | |
| | i'll be playing more of 808 state's work in accelerator 065... | |
