It's actually called 'Newbuild' and was one of three slices of vinyl 808 State put out on Creed Records (a label based in a record store that Martin Price, a former member of the band, used to own) around that time. 'Newbuild' is regularly cited as a major influence by the likes of Aphex Twin, Autechre and Squarepusher. It's very dark, moody acid-house -- totally unlike all the other fluffy shite that was doing the rounds at the time. The album has certainly stood the test of time. Whilst all the 808s, 909s and 303s give away its age, it's still just as relevant today, if not more so. Definitely an essential purchase. -- /\/)ark headspin - http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/
