Quadrastate
Rephlex
DANCE
808 State’s classic ‘Quadrastate’ album from 1989 finally gets a re-release after the other two albums in the Rephlex trilogy, ‘Newbuild’ and ‘Prebuild’.
Originally released on Creed Records, these recordings were born in Manchester. 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 State”.
The band’s 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. It’s 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.
“Quadrastate” still has a fresh sound; incredibly bouncy basslines, pioneering use of breakbeats and all the energy and inspiration of analog-digital-hybrid jams.
