808 State Olympic - Music Video 1990

808 State is an English electronic music outfit formed in 1988 in Manchester, taking their name from the Roland TR-808 drum machine and the "state of mind" shared by the members. They were formed by Graham Massey, Martin Price and Gerald Simpson.
This is their music video Olympic from 1990

@71dubfreak Good onya! "Lift" is a beautiful piece of work. Your baby had a great start in life. This sounded fantastic in 1990 and still does now. What blows me away every time I hear 808 State now is the strength and longevity of the emotional memories I have intertwined in the music. If I hear 808 State I smile. Guaranteed. it's not always easy predicting which music from any particular time will last, but from first hearing these guys I suspected theirs would: I'm so stoked that it has.

[@geoffolehane]

It would have been nice if London actually won the bid for the Olympics that year so we could have enjoyed 808 State's theme music.

@777pusher Quality mate, made me laugh that !

[@tie32101]

Funny everytime i listen to this song I get a feeling of sadness for some reason. This is ht elast song on the album so it sounds like they're wraping ex:el up. And its the last album with Martin Price.

[@weirdlen]

this track should be re-released for London 2012

@ArmouredCharmer1 Had a friend who was at that night, did you know that the Waterfront was designed by the same guy who designed the Hacienda?

[@HeIiosphan]

[@DarrenFlinders]

I like how they are playing the synths, but they aren't plugged into anything lol

[@777pusher]

Anyone know? Which of the guys in the vid are the front man (men) for the band. This song definately fits the bill for my "Ahead of it's time electro" playlist!!

[@777pusher]

@71dubfreak - So, did the baby come out with hands up in the air??

[@CJARCHIVES]

all this time I thought 808 state was somehow a tribute to Hawaii, sigh
