from the album PENTALOGY II
Newbuild is the debut studio album by English electronic music group 808 State, released in September 1988 by Creed Records. It was the only album recorded with founding member Gerald Simpson, who departed shortly afterward for a solo career.
In a 1988 review, OffBeat described the album as "compulsive stuff, you don't exactly listen to it, more like feel the frequencies... and respond." In 1999, Alternative Press called it an "artificial dystopia" in which the tracks "strip away the soul of Detroit techno and replace it with a cold and rhythmic paranoia."
Aphex Twin stated: "It was the next step after Chicago acid, and as much as I loved that, I could relate much better to 808 State. It seemed colder and more human at the same time." - Wikipedia
