Gorgeous by 808 State
Gorgeous is an album by 808 State, released in 1993. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Time Bomb”, on 1 list with a best position of #40.
Gorgeous, 808 State's fourth studio album, came out on 1 February 1993 on ZTT in Britain and Tommy Boy in America, and it's the Manchester crew's first record without founding member Martin Price, who had walked in October 1991 to go it alone as a producer and later start his own label, Sun Text. That left Graham Massey, Andrew Barker and Darren Partington steering the ship named after the Roland TR-808 drum machine.
What they built is big, bright and hungry for the dancefloor, house and techno pumped up to arena size, with "Time Bomb" ticking away as its brashest moment. It climbed to No. 17 on the UK albums chart and No. 35 on the US Heatseekers chart, and when ZTT reissued it in October 2008 it came with a bonus disc of 14 remixes, among them a previously unreleased edit of "Bombadin".
