I have also read in several > really OLD interviews about RDJ talking about early > 808 State. I guess he felt that this should be > reissued. Funny enough, Tom Jenkinson feels the same way: Bleepbloop: What was the first piece ofequipment you bought? Jenkinson: A Roland SH-101. You know that 808 State album, "Newbuild?" (The famous acid house record with Gerald Simpson, also known as A Guy Called Gerald. He split from the band after this release). I read an interview with them, and that was one of the instruments that they used. I love those like acid-y sounds, so I thought I’d get one of them and muck around with it and try to make some acid tracks. So I bought it, and started making tracks using just SH-101 and bass guitar. :) More interview at http://come.to/bleepbloopweb Aaron
