Just picked up a copy of their classic tunes with some remixes too.
Went to see them recently and it was fucking awesome, played all the tunes and remixed a load of other stuff too - the dance floor was busting.

Altern8's Top Scams, As Taken from the Full On Mask Hysteria E.P.
1. The 2.30 AM rave in Shelley's car park. For all those who don't know Shelley's isn't some northern bird or a crap shoe shop, it is probably Stafford's best club. Altern8 held a rave in the car park at 2.30 am on the 15th of September 1991. An interview with Altern8 was recorded which was available on vinyl as limited edition, together with Frequency. The police were not amused, but no-one was arrested!
2. The 1992 UK general election (won by the bloody Tories!!). Chris stood as an MP in Stafford for the "Hardcore- U Know the score party". Even funnier was that he did not come last!! He got 152 votes apparently, and as part of their campagin they enlisted the help of a witch doctor to rid Stafford of any links with 'rock music'. He basically spouted a load of crap and sawed a guitar in half. No rock bands have played in Stafford since!
3. Top One Nice one get sorted! An American magazine claimed that the sample was ripped from an old skool hip hop artist in the 80's and Altern8 owed her money. "I don't even like SugarHill records" complanied six year old "MC Crazy" Clair
4. Altern8 claimed that Kevin Saunderson - the geezer behind all those Inner City house records would record all of his tunes in Stafford rather than Detroit (the home of techno). Apparently this actually happened. Not very interesting really!
5. Vix Vapour Rub. Altern8 always claimed that it helped them breathe properly, rather than enhance the effects of Extacy...
6. The tabloids claimed the video for Activ8 cost £80,000 to make. It actually cost £2,310!!
7. The was a massive response to the apparent burning of the Frequency Master tapes, which caused magazines, ravers and others to try and find out how to attend this event, supposedly in Stafford Park. Apparently this never happened, there was only a DAT of the tune!
8. Apparently Altern8 turned down a $1,000,000 offer from a USA record label who wanted the Altern8 rights. Well done for not selling out!
9. The video for Evapor8 was supposed to cost on £2,000, but the involvement of Hong Kong police riot tanks and more pushed the value up into many thousands. They ripped themselves off!
10. Chris has a parrot which says "Rave On". Apparently this is worth a mention?!
