The fourth full - length album by Manchester techno group 808 State, Gorgeous, is back on vinyl after 24 years. Released in 1993 during the UK rave craze, it builds on the rhythm - focused style started in 1991's Ex:el, with beats influenced by industrial music. After collaborating with Bjork and seeing former bandmate A Guy Called Gerald's success with 'Voodoo Ray', 808 State created this ambitious crossover album. Graham Massey and the team blend melodic acid with ravey breakbeats, use familiar samples, and feature guest appearances from Ian McCulloch of Echo & The Bunnymen and UB40. This album is perfect for bedroom ravers, with tracks streamlined for continuous grooves. This expanded double - vinyl edition has 5 extra tracks from the original 'Disco Disc' and 5 more from various CD editions. Pressed on 180 - gram purple vinyl by Music On Vinyl in 2017, it's a limited - edition release in a gatefold sleeve.
Using this vinyl album is easy. Just place it on your turntable carefully and start playing. Make sure your turntable is in good working condition for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. Store the album in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help preserve the color and quality of the 180 - gram purple vinyl. Also, keep the gatefold sleeve clean to protect the album. Since it's a limited - edition item, take extra care to keep it in great shape.
