Gorgeous (808 State)

I bought 808 State's Gorgeous used on a whim. I hadn't heard any 808 State before, but I'd heard of them, and this album contains their hit remake of UB40's "One in Ten," so I thought I'd give it a shot. The results are mixed for me. Some of the tracks, like "10 x 10," are definitely winners. Others, though, are a bit more forgettable. It's neither a bad nor a great album. It's a spotty one that picks up in places. Standout tracks are "10 x 10," "Moses," "Sexy Dancer," "Sexy Synthesizer," and "One in Ten."

Tracks:
1. Colony
2. Moses
3. Contrique
4. 10 x 10
5. One in Ten
6. Plan 9
7. Europa
8. Prbit
9. Black Morpheus
10. Southern Cross
11. Nimbus
12. Timebomb
13. Stormin' Norman
14. Sexy Dancer
15. Sexy Synthesizer
