The Start Of It All

Even though this is not the complete 1989 "808 Utd. State 90" disk that originally turned me on to modern techno (post New Order, etc.) I must give this a 5-Star review none-the-less. I first heard Pacific 202 when I visited a very nice woman years ago in Austin, TX. I bought the album when I returned, and was immediately turned on by songs such as Ancodia and Sunrise. 808080808 can be a bit annoying, but the more hyper-active sound of 808 State stands up suprisingly well to time. Missed from this set is The Revenge Of The Girlie Men, and two other mixes of Pacific - Pacific 212 and Pacific 718. A song entitled State To State is also missing- perhaps all of these are available elsewhere on iTunes. Graham Massey and crew started something big here, and this is the origins. Fon studios also became a major force - the Art Of Noise Fon remixes is also worth checking out.

Empire State

I remember buying this on LP back in 1990 and I was hooked. Great tunes on this one including Pacific 202 and Sunrise.

If you're a fan of electronica...

this is a must have. Pacific 202, Cobra Bora and Cubïk, which seems to be missing from this set, are particularly good. Put the top down on your car and go. W/G.
