808 State Ex:El CD

Digitally re-mastered and expanded two CD edition of this 1991 album from the Manchester Techno/Acid House outfit including 10 bonus tracks.. It's 1991, the height of the Madchester phenomenon, and 808 State have just released their fourth album, ex: el. The first single from that album, 'Cbik' B&W 'Olympic', reached #10 in November 1990. For Graham Massey, 808 State's head honcho, 'Cbik' was a progression musically, again giving him the chance to add real instruments across the technology of Techno. The band may have been famous for taking their name from the Roland TR-808 drum machine but, for Graham, the instrument that colored a great deal of ex: el was the newest Roland keyboard of the time, the JD-800! This edition of the classic album features a bonus CD that contains 10 additional tracks including remixes and more. Salvo. 2010.
