Gorgeous by 808 State is a defining chapter in the group's pioneering electronic legacy, blending breakbeat-house energy with adventurous soundscapes. Originally released in 1993 and revisited here by ZTT, it finds the Manchester outfit connecting Detroit techno and Chicago house with elements of New Wave through collaborations with prominent artists like Ian McCulloch of Echo & the Bunnymen. This renowned album features expressive, genre-blurring tracks—such as the dark, hypnotic "Black Morpheus" and outsider-assisted standouts like "Moses" and "Europa." With its swirling synth textures, inventive sampling (drawing from artists like Joy Division and The Jam), and lush, evocative production, Gorgeous is a must-hear exploration of '90s electronic music's possibilities.
