New takes on 1989’s Ninety and 1991’s ex:el out soon.
Next month, Artoffact Records will reissue two albums by Manchester legends 808 State: the acid house touchstone Ninety and the more experimental ex:el, featuring collaborations with Björk and New Order’s Bernard Sumner.
Each cassette is supplemented with bonus tracks; full tracklists are below. The release will be limited to 150 copies and will be available in eight different color choices, and they’re due out on July 29 via Artoffact. [via RA]
Earlier this year, 808 State’s Graham Massey explored the history of the drum machine on BBC 6 Music.
