3 BIG QUESTIONS - Graham Massey

[@GNeuman]

His Dad was a senior manager at the telecoms firm I worked for back in the '80's. I remember his Dad, Derek, being immensely proud when Graham and his band appeared on Top of the Pops with Pacific State. Happy days.

I recently fell in love with ex:el all over again. Still sounds as amazing as it did in 1991.

808/Graham played at a (large volume, 1200 occupancy) nightclub I worked at in ~1991. They were great guys. They brought ALL their gear - all this vintage analog stuff including a BitONE and Moog's, etc...So cool. I remember talking to Grahama at length about gear and he specifically focused on the BitONE, talking about how he loved it. Even as synth guys, we hadn't ever heard of it, stateside.

The Bit One was made by Italian company Crumar. I believe it was released in the US under a different name. Have owned a Bit01 (the rack version) myself, it's a lovely synth. Meaty mids. I miss it.

the Massey/Gong connection made my day...Daevid Allen FTW!!

[@quantize]

Their recent release is possibly their best work to date...huge fan.

[@WilliWerkel]

Truly awesome guy. Discovered their music about 2010 when I was playing GTA San Andreas, there was a radio station playing house classics and I was listening to Pacific and all it's various versions ever since.

I wonder how many will listen to Pacific State straight after this? I'm one.

Named 808state, and didn't have an 808, that is hilarious! I drive for Ferrari Racing, we drive mostly Volkswagen.

[@X-101]

Did you get one with Guy Called Gerald ?

[@maxmatson1578]

I wonder if you still use those electronic gadgets that his dad gave him?
