Commentary[edit]

This article is all sorts of awful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewhime (talk • contribs) 16:05, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but Altern8 is great!! Probably all this was written after an Altern8 gig. --84.162.52.221 20:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've cleaned it up a bit, trying to keep the initial enthuiasm there! (cls14 6th July 2006)

I've also had a go after having a nostalgic discussion regarding Altern8 yesterday. Davidjsuk 17:00, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do we know when they changed the name to Altern-8? --kingboyk 01:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article is in slightly better shape now, but it lacks references to support the somewhat opinionated text. Less techno fancruft, more sources please.

Proposed merge with Nexus 21[edit]

The Nexus 21 article does not show any evidence of standalone notability so it is suggested that it be merged here where it is already mentioned. Atlantic306 (talk) 16:22, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 16:54, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Archer and Peat reunion[edit]

Much as I would love for it to be true (and I would buy a ticket), I can't find any sources which say that Archer and Peat ever reunited. The article appears to be selling an illusion that Altern-8 the duo still exist. If in fact they did reunite, can somebody please add reliable sources which prove it? --kingboyk (talk) 05:00, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DJ Nex[edit]

Mark Archer released music under the name DJ Nex. He was also a founding member of Bizarre Inc. Neither is mentioned here and there is no separate page for Mark (Wikipedia redirects to the altern8 listing). Also this article says "in 1993 Mark Archer began producing music" referring to a slo moshun release which is obviously incorrect as he'd released music as DJ Nex prior to that.

Think that Mark deserves his own Wikipedia page and/or this page needs updating 2.25.248.133 (talk) 10:02, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
