You Sexy Dancer, You Sexy, Sexy Dancer or ISENIH #20

Ok, this just won't do. Only one post on the great 808 State & these guys deserve better. 808 State became well known through the whole Manchester rave scene putting out electronic based dance music starting in '88."Gorgeous" is there '93 effort which, as usual, showcases collaborations with other English artists(mostly). On this cd there is one song each with Ian McCulloch("Moses"), New Order("Contrique"), Paul Weller ("10x10" I'll post this in the comments) & UB40(see vid below). "Sexy Dancer" above I think is one of the funniest songs of theirs, I just had to feature it. Lots of great upbeat, danceable tunes through the entire cd. "One In Ten" w/UB40:Graham Massey is also known for his producing & remixing skill. He's worked extensively with Bjork & many other artists. The other members have produced & remixed for other artists as well. Check out their site & wiki links below for more info.http://www.808state.com/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/808_State

  3. Dale says LOVE 808 State! I'm more partial to the Utd. State 90 and Ex:El albums, but Gorgeous has its moments too.

  4. five-four says Nice layering. Eccentric at times, but probably why I'm liking what I hear.

  6. Augusts1 says I can see that Michelle. There is a warmth that is lacking I agree, but what caught my attention were the hooks. Damn catchy stuff. Neph, I have those cds of theirs as well as "Don Solaris", I just happened to choose this one randomly. They are great dance band who need more mog love! Great vid too. Five-four, yes their eccentricity is part of their appeal. Glad you like. Awww Neill, it's ok, that's why we are a team, so we can pickup what doesn't get taken care of or overlooked by the others. Rah, Rah, Rah! lol
