AMG Review of Gorgeous [Deluxe Edition]

Jason Ankeny
All Music Guide

Gorgeous is 808 State's most vocal-oriented effort, and features a number of fairly anonymous and forgettable guest singers. The record is most successful when it sticks to the group's trademark atmospheric dance instrumentals, although even those are fairly run-of-the-mill. [A 2008 deluxe edition from ZTT added a bonus disc with 11 remixes and three non-album tracks, plus liner notes and interview quotes from Ian Peel.]
