"As soon as I listened to "Messegearama" in a record shop I thought: 'What the fuck is that?' It completely changed the atmosphere of the place. I had already heard enough acid, but that was different, darker, and more exciting". This way remembers Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) his first encounter with one of the first songs of 808 State, pioneers of acid house and partly the ones to blame for the full time party in the Manchester of the eighties. It's not strange that almost two decades after such hits as "Newbuild", Rephlex has decided to claim the legacy of the band formed by Graham Massey and Martin Price with a collection of reissues and rare records. Hoping that the comeback of "Quadrastate" brings them back to the record circulation, 808 State go on the road again to celebrate two decades of activity and to dust the TB-303. Pacific State
