ex:el is the third studio album by 808 State, released on 4 March 1991 by ZTT Records. Contrast to the band's previous works, the album features heavier catchy melody-line, beats and percussion, 'embracing earlier flirtations with hip-hop and industrial music'.^[3]

The album also features the guest vocals of Bernard Sumner of Joy Division and New Order fame, who sings on 'Spanish Heart'. In addition, Björk sings on 'Qmart' and 'Ooops', and is credited with co-writing both.

It is considered to be the first major release to feature the sample from the film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory of the phrase 'we are the music makers', which became one of the most common vocal samples in electronic music. It is also the first pop-oriented electronic-music album to feature guest vocals on a few tracks by important alternative rock artists, another thing that became commonplace on pop-oriented electronic-music albums.^[3]

ALBUM NOTES: 808 State makes a welcome return with 'Ex:el' (Tommy Boy, New York). The Manchester-bred band that helped pave the way for the ambient house movement with 'Pacific' offers a more varied palette of ideas and grooves this time around.

808 State Ex:el Rar Command

First, there are appearances by New Order /Electronic vocalist Bernard Sumner (on 'Spanish Heart') and Sugarcubes front woman Bjork (on 'Ooops' and 'Qmart '). Dropping lyrics into the band's already cinematic instrumental arrangements adds an intriguing depth to the overall tone of the album.

Musically, 'Ex:el' shows the band experimenting with different
rhythms and textures. While 'Leo Leo' and 'Lift' are true to the atmospheric concepts of their debut, 'Nephatiti' uses startingly raw and aggressive keyboard effects and 'Empire' is fueled with easy-paced tribal beats. There are also several choice tracks for industrial fans, starting with the cool machine -like vibe of 'In Yer Face.'

The first single will be 'Ooops,' sporting new mixes by Eric Kupper. This quirky, down-tempo track will likely show the group once again testing (and, we hope, expanding) the boundaries of mainstream club programming-which is apparently becoming
its specialty. A brilliant effort.
