This album sums up everything that the early 90's was about musically. 808 State were important becuase they made credible music which had melody yet still packed the punch that the dancefloor craved. They were also very versatile. On 'ex:el' rave monsters like 'Cubik' and 'In Yer Face' sit alongside spacy, tripped out ambient led pieces like 'Qmart' and 'Ooops'. ex:el.

It was an amazing point in our and British chart history, says Massey. Capturing 808 State at their absolute best, none of their subsequent albums quite matched Ex:El's perfect blend of art, mass appeal, and zeitgeist one of the most common vocal samples in techno, Willy Wonka's We are the music makers, made its first major appearance here
