808 STATE-NIMBUS-GRANADA TONIGHT-1992.

[@piynubbunyip]

I got in contact with Holly who drew the picture at the start of the video as a child. She was out that night and the whole family missed it. She was most grateful to see it finally!

[@allunavaliable]

i wondered how many unsolicited emails Ms. Nodwell gets about this video www.liverpool.ac.uk/medicine/staff/holly-nodwell/

Granada news have took it to fine Art experts ..see what they think?

[@juancm8821]

I'm crying right now seeing 808 crew performing Nimbus. What an exceptional moment.

[@patentimpending5821]

This whole clip is surreal.

[@emulus4000]

Growing up in Manchester, local news like Granada Reports and Look North had a plethora of bands from all genres to bring onto their shows in the 90s. Good times

[@nutster9000]

Now you don't see this kind of thing at the end of your local evening news these days!

[@roialby7118]

Thompson twins were on a local news station in Chicagoland like two years ago!

[@creepycraig73]

That a shit tonne of cash in that studio. Analog porn at its highest.

[@alancorns5837]

AGREED.

[@machinelanguage5108]

None of that stuff cost much in the 90s. You could find Roland Jupiters, Oberheim 2-Voices for $500 (or less - my friend literally traded a Fender bass guitar for a Jupiter 8 in 1991).

[@NEWCASTLE-UNITED-1892]

What has happnd to dance music now, never get times like that again , very sad 😰

[@nemisysone]

Brilliant music! I'm just drooling at all of the awesome gear they have!!!

[@kevinlangstone609]

Little 7 year old Holly Nodwell who drew that picture at the start is now 30. What a mind f*ck.

[@rickrennyoneill]

Kevin Langstone yep I was 7 in 1992 as well. Tell me about it!

i love Roland and i always will.

[@Uygkuyfkutfkytfkutfv]

He was on TV-AM, not Granada

[@krisinsaigon]

God i love being from manchester Not only did we get this on our tv, but the man who presented Granada reports ran factory records and the hacienda

[@loneranger1916]

Knew Antony well,had some good after parties in the has with him,joy divisions as well as otherz from the Madchester scene

[@NickSBailey]

It's weird seeing this they'd already dropped off my radar by then, time to have a listen to some of the stuff I missed out on.

[@Negostrike]

It's GOWGEOUS.

My top 5 albums of all time is Gorgeous.I was lucky enough to see them on The Gorgeous Tour in Florida,twice.

[@randyborstol2491]

[@geoffolehane]

This is a fabulous song that is firmly in place on my MP3 player. Love the brief interview.

[@workareabar9]

thank you thank you for uploading it with a piece of a tv program - it adds sssso much of mood of a time! love! =D

[@Dudleymiddleton]

ARP Sequencer! ARP Odyssey! Who remembers the ARP AXXE synthesiser? Monophonic, but could get really weird wet sounds out of it because of the beauty of pure analogue!

[@offworldnetwork]

I have a 76 Arp Axxe ... quite limited compared to the the other gear in this video.

[@NOWtheband]

I do.

[@gabeshepperd]

The presenter and the band look like they are from two different eras.

[@stevendouglas3860]

Gabriel Shepperd yeah ! there 90s she looks so 1988 something from a American TV movie from 88-89 era.

[@braveconcepts]

innit?!

[@krisinsaigon]

Anthony H Wilson used to present this show as well, mad times

[@rednax3333]

Thank you so much for sharing this GORGEOUS bit of vid! 😎👍 I was blessed enough to be a huge fan of 808 since Pacific 718 (changed my life!) and EX:EL thru a DJ buddy of mine. Getting to see this now is a delight!... plus Nimbus is one of my favorite tracks on Gorgeous! 👍🎶❤️ Bangin’!!

[@Negostrike]

Is that a morning variety show? Kinda crazy to see such a fucking good electronic music group in the morn on TV before leaving for work.

[@Negostrike]

Baller

[@geoffsmith8172]

Negrostrike much more hip music actually charts in the UK. Hell, the top selling single in the UK is still Blue Monday, I believe.

[@harrisonaard1]

It clearly states 'TONIGHT'. It was the early evening news programme, from 6 to 7 I believe. Tony Wilson used to have the music spot until he moved on to somewhere else... Whatever happened to him? ;-)

[@offworldnetwork]

No, its the local (Nothwest UK) evening news program

[@mayonueve]

Is Imposible to like this more - I would give a million like if I could . . .

[@G8tr1522]

goddamn, i thought they sequenced their keyboards. Have y'all ever studied the song "Lift" off ex:el? There are so many key changes in that one. My god, they did it all live too 🤯🤯🤯

[@ChainNonSmoker]

I want to get stuck in a time limbo repeating the period around 1990-93 in England, looks cosy as heck! People r just hangin' in their bathing suits and trackie bottoms in a national tv broadcast havin' messy haircuts and all.

Finally a presenter that isn’t annoying

[@DJSaturnia]

RIP Andy

[@doodoobrn]

I'm in the car with my girlfriends old alcoholic mom right now listening to this. This lady will leave the most intensely horrible pop music playing on the radio all day, or some advertising on cable, it's like it helps her not use her brain or something. But if you put something like this on that actually has some interesting sounds and a dance beat, it starts making her ears steam. You can literally watch her trying not to think about it and failing and getting angry. I don't know what the CIA put in the water in the eighties to make Americans be this silly, but I thank the grand lizard every day that he has spared me this far.

[@thurstonmurru]

it wasn't a great album, never reached the same acclaim as 90 or ex:el did. The first two seem timeless while this one just seemed [now dated] 90's.

63F, windy and showers ... Typical Manc summer then . Holly Nodwell will be edging up to 40. well at least the music has aged better than Beckys hair doo. incedently, Becky is still around on local wireless.
