1992: 808 State - Reaper Repo / Blame - Ecstasy Takes You
Continuing the 30 Years Come Back series (FINALLY), previously on blogspot but now here. We recommence at 1992 so here’s two personal favourites from them days.
808 State - Reaper Repo
- B-side of the ‘Time Bomb’ single but a dazzling track that blurs Graham Massey’s apparent interest in North African music with Carl Craig-ish techno formulae. Well I could only hold off from posting an 808 track for so long.
Blame - Ecstasy Takes You
- version of the heavenly hardcore anthem cast further into deep space and with added comical babbling, demonstrating as well as anything else how madcap and surreal this music felt whether you were high or not.
