It takes Rephlex to dig up one of the classic albums of the year. 808 States Prebuild is compiled from tapes taken from before their seminal first release Newbuild.

The first track Automatic sounds just like A Guy Called Gerald stuff from the same era. Ride isn't bad and neither is Johnnycab although Ride is the weaker track of the two.

The two Lounge Jays tracks sound more like US house tracks especially Sex Mechanic with that overdriven sample and seedy 303 bassline.

Clonezone and Cosacosa are two great acid tracks and its a shame that they end suddenly after just five minutes or so.

The real highlights of course are at the end of the album. K.Narcosa which later surfaced on Newbuild and C.I.S which is just insane. The last track Thermo Kings is taken from a rave held at a Swimming Baths in Manchester and is one of my favourite acid tracks. Sounding like Phutures Acid tracks mixed with Xrays Lets Lets Dance, its 14 minutes of acid that rival anything the U.S produced at that time.

Overall 5/5
