808 State - The Returntag:www.ztt.com,2010://1.10712010-01-12T17:08:32Z2010-01-12T17:39:38ZIan Peel
ZTT in conjunction with Salvo - Union Square Music's collector's label – is delighted to announce four deluxe editions of 808 State's epic contributions to the worlds of electronica and dance music.
Each remastered album adds detailed liner notes, expanded and restored artwork and a bonus disc of rare and previously-unreleased tracks compiled by 808 founder Graham Massey (Biting Tongues, Sisters of Transistors, Factory Records).
'Deluxe editions' of 808 State's albums were originally promo'd in August 2008 but – just as they were about to ship to retail – ZTT's distributor Pinnacle went bust and the project was scrapped. Salvo is finally bringing these releases to physical and online stores, having taken the intervening years to significantly upgrade and expand the artwork and packaging.

Surgeon on Who’s Afraid...?tag:www.ztt.com,2009://1.10572009-11-17T15:04:54Z2009-11-17T15:16:56ZIan Peel
Surgeon has been remoulding contemporary techno ever since.]]>
Sounds Like Me project about the album that inspires him the most, Art of Noise's Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise.
"For me it’s a forgotten gem in the history of English electronic music. I fondly remember listening to it again and again... They are more personally important than Kraftwerk or Yellow Magic Orchestra. If Kraftwerk are the calculating robotic face of Teutonic electronic music then surely The Art Of Noise personify the eccentric English gentleman tinkering in his garden shed... The whole package that made it mysterious and exciting."
