I think that "Bel Air" is up there with another 95 seminal album: "Spanners" by Black Dog.<BR/>Somehow this period really filled a slot in my mind.<BR/><BR/>As for Massonix: Have only heard bits and pieces of some tracks. Massey can really be too much for me. Sometimes he just doesn´t know where to stop.StellaVistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10458797652422867896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3796210564784402661.post-74991156970994054022008-08-22T17:44:00.000-07:002008-08-22T17:44:00.000-07:00Oh hells yes. Can hardly wait for the reissues, ho...Oh hells yes. Can hardly wait for the reissues, hopefully with bonus tracks!<BR/> <BR/>I still think most (not all) of 808 is relevant, well maybe not 'relevant' but at least somewhat timeless. I'd probably throw in the other two missing from that trinity, Orbital and Ultramarine. All three don't date very hard cause they weren't too steeped in the electronic trends of the day (i.e. drum and bass, trip hop etc). They all seemed to take bits and pieces of modern work and add their own twist.<BR/>Speaking of 808, did you ever hear his Massonix project?Leopold Stotchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834016663050679738noreply@blogger.com
