What makes Ex:el by 808 State notable?

The album received critical acclaim upon its release, reaching number 17 on the UK Albums Chart and solidifying 808 State's influence within the burgeoning electronic music movement. Tracks like 'Cübik' became anthems in clubs and contributed to the rise of rave culture in the UK, influencing countless artists and producers in the years that followed. By the time 'Ex:el' was released in March 1991, 808 State had already established themselves as pioneers of the acid house genre with their previous album, 'Ninety.' This third studio effort marked a significant evolution in their sound, incorporating more complex arrangements and diverse influences, showcasing their growing prominence in the electronic music scene.
