808 State - Lift (ZANG 20)

[@giveusanesirbobholness7199]

Way ahead of their time. Still listening in 2022.

[@edjordan5043]

Still outstanding after 31 years on the scene. Loved Lift, Pacific State, Cubik, In Yer Face, San Francisco..... Always makes me think of Eastern Bloc, their record shop in Manchester,one of my old student haunts, and the use of this song on Granada Reports, also featured on YT, for the die hards!

I started this journey into 808 State with "The Word" tv series theme. It's been stuff in my head for no reason at all. I remmeber all these. Feels like the greatest hits

[@terebi916]

And here I thought I'd heard every single permutation and remix of this song. There's always more 808 State!

[@ajs41]

Wasn't this the most listened-to version in 1991?

[@SuperRobin81]

absolutely love these guys, takes you to another world, a better one.

[@Zsklar]

One of my favorites by good ole 808 State!

[@Tanya53123]

Superb 90s Song x The best times ever x 💕

[@radio72-z1v]

Yeah I remember this stuff from 90s

[@borealico]

amazing sound! I saw this video back in 1991 and I tought it was very cool!

[@quitefunnyguy]

The other day, I suddenly remembered I bought an 808 State album on CD in the early 1990s. All my CDs have long since been consigned to landfill. But, thanks to KZbin, I'm rediscovering tunes I haven't heard for almost 30 years. It's like travelling back in time! :-) IMHO, this mix is better than the album version. It's had very few views after 13 years (fewer than 25k) but they'll be ticking up slowly now I've discovered it!

[@Dudleymiddleton]

Remembering how state of the art those sony video cubes were at the time....

[@Vid12]

Finally! this video is back after it diappeared off of KZbin a whiloe back.

[@1philk]

Classic

[@Roland_Tr909_Swing]

[@markhull2172]

Looks like it.

[@G8tr1522]

[@radio72-z1v]

1:43 2:23

[@SuperEekie64]

This video is like vaporwave before it even existed

[@windman808]

808 made a lot of "vaporware" before it was a thing.

[@aarthoor]

Does that make it bad? Besides there is considerable evolution from kraftwerk both emotionally and musically. 808 have truly their own sound. And notice what kraftwerk sound like now, very obviously influenced by the dance scene that followed them. I think there is room for all branches of the musical tree.

[@srarcade]

Is this version on any release? Ive only heard it on the video. It gives me goosebumps. I need higher quality!

[@Blank_Frank]

The 7" mix is the closest version to the video one, but I've been unable to find a proper audio for that particular version sadly...

[@smokeygolf4954]

7” mix now on spotify!

[@backtoo1989]

never heard this version b4..808 rule

[@davidclover2248]

Matt Davies, great friend of Matt Newbury in the future, husband of Nephatiti, his theme tune :) :) :)

[@annescholey6546]

Very underused 1991

[@mrcodhead67]

ambient house dance?

[@gerardmccuskin8199]

Sweet tecno rave tune still cool so smart

[@King-oy4or]

the only source where I ever heard this back then was Super Channel. look at them fast cuts at the end of the video.

[@jaysonbyse4178]

The b side ❤ Open Your Mind was genius also.

[@yungshadow28]

Yo this remind me of those weird scenes from the game lsd dream emulator

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

Pretty cool band....

[@9000knobs]

Internet Gems !

[@Diggy22]

Looking for the Justin Strauss remix of this

[@wagsouza3459]

disco house.

[@ReynaldoAbasr]

its AIRLINE MUZAK

[@Lytton333]

No, just less important. Listen to this carefully.. it's just autobahn and others re-hashed. And yes, that's why Kraftwerk aren't very good any more.

[@davidleeashkenazi8992]

[@Lytton333]

Sorry, but it's all just apples from Kraftwerk's tree.

[@Lytton333]

And Kraftwerk were much better looking..
