flow coma still light years ahead. sorts the wheat from the edm chaff

An unbelievable pressing and with so many acid vibes, that started a music journey for 808 state. A true classic album and must have. Also an album you will not find on iTunes / Spotify etc. Youtube, CD or Vinyl are the only places you will find it.

Still one of my favourite acid house/ techno records even after 30 years

This is one of those albums that seems to be criminally underrated through the years. I heard this in 1988, 16 years old, and my life changed forever. This was the most alien music I'd ever heard, and it still holds up today. I would easily put this in the top 20 greatest electronic albums ever produced, and that is not an overreaction -- this record is just that good.

Excellent we thought out piece of music ! The Best ! Martin price is a genius in music !

A masterpiece - pure and simple. Still sounds fresh today and you can't say that about many albums from this era. Everything was downhill from here.

Narcossa is the highlight. The groove on this track is insane.

UK Acid peaked at its creation!

Surely One of the greatest acid lp`s to ever be produced

The lightbringer of early UK acid house, Flow Coma still stands as an incredibly complex, dribbling mass of giggling insanity that leaves dancefloors in a state of lysergic meltdown.

I bought this one in 1990, after 808 state was a bit better know - I think Pacific and Cubic had become pretty big club hits in Seattle. It was the only copy in a record store in Seattle called - Record gallery. The owner couldn't get any more copies and said it was probably the only one in Seattle. Anyway, this is a great acid house album - doesn't sound anything like what 808 state became later on. If you like early minimal acid house, this is a great album.
