It took me years to realize that "808 State" was named after the TR-808 drum machine. The name of this particular song, "Pacific State", always made me think the band name referred to the State of Hawaii, whose area code is 808....and "808 State" was like a Hawaii state of mind (i.e. sun, ocean, surfing, chilling, etc.). I over-analyzed like I always do!

That weird bird call is from a bird called Loon, and it it is actually a bird who lives in the northern temperate zone. The loon's eery call has become a staple sound effect in movies when they want to create a desolate and spooky atmosphere. The sample has been a bit mangled by 808 state, so it doesn't sound exactly like the bird anymore.

Jon Da Silva from the Hacienda, Alex Paterson from The Orb, the Slam boys and 808 State. Changed our lives forever. 30 years have passed but my love for House music has never waivered. This particular tune holds its own even after all these years. If you played it anywhere and at any time you'd light up peoples lives. A timeless classic.

I still can feel the chill that ran down my spine when I first heard this in 1989, when I was 21. It was a bar in Maidstone, Kent called Gabriel’s. This being the original is the best version. A really good era for House music and in all honesty, it never has been truly repeated since. The vibe, the people and of course the atmosphere was so good.

Use to do my homework to this in the 9th grade. I'm now 44, still sends back to those great times.

[@fitz9806]

my dad's told me how this is what he jammed to when he was my age. That was probably 2 years ago. I finally played this on Spotify last week. Instantly in love. Just listening to this makes me want to have lived in his time, a much more simpler time. Last week, I just absolutely blasted this through the speakers in the den while playing a game. I'm only 17, but damn this gives me feels for a time I won't experience.

[@rowgli]

You're experiencing that time right now, trust me ;)

[@claymarzobestgoofy]

I moved to London in 1989 aged 24 , I spent many a night dancing to this track in Heaven and the Fridge in Brixton and many more places , I also booked them when I ran Dogstar in Brixton in 2001 , great memories.

and now all kids do in london is stab eachother wish we could turn back the clock

[@memberofthetribe1]

Heaven.....now THAT was a nightclub. Went there twice on a trip to London and still consider both times the highlight of my visit.

[@LisaMarie-xp4ym]

Three very good venues!!

[@fredshred5194]

I lived just of Coldharbour Lane now yeah good times

[@veggie42]

hoping to go to see Ladytron their gig from October was cancelled

[@daniellacerda7058]

This song is absurd, especially when you find out it's from the 80's, due to the level of synthesizers and mixes used. This is explicit in the part from 3:05 to 3:29, in the highlight in the last three seconds of this part that the effect of the music in reverse fits perfectly.

[@gregg6173]

I studied classical music at a professional level and went to raves in the mid 1980's. This is a timeless classic and takes me back to the vibe in the mid 1980's. Wow! great track!

[@r250salvemosucrania3]

Excelent

[@StrobeSteppa]

This wasnt released mid 80's, stop with the lies ffs

[@amancalledjames9345]

This make me feel nostalgic, and a little sad for those days, those nights...that time in life that will never be again. But I’m so glad I was there, and those of us who were...wow...it was something wasn’t it!

[@chrisvaller6637]

Simply one of the greatest tunes ever

[@chrisvaller6637]

Still sends tingles down the spine...well complete body amazing tune

[@mintyylt]

Simply one of the greatest pieces of music in our culture💚

[@BenFrankarts]

I remember when this dropped in the club in Chicago. We couldn't leave the dance floor. DJ had to keep spinnin it back to back. 808 murdered us that night.

[@StrobeSteppa]

Sunrise and Back To The Future 1989 Dance Music Festival. You wouldn't believe how epic that outdoor field party was. 20'000 ravers having the time of our lives all dancing off our nut when this got played. Magic ❤✨🎉🎶❤️

[@claudiapereda1870]

Ah... essa música... marcou para mim, me lembro de uma época tão boa,quando meus irmãos tinham equipe de som e faziam festas e bailes na escola,era tão legal,saudades desse tempo... Que música linda,obrigada por compartilhar 🤗❤👏👏👏

[@alfonsinobombardieri]

In 1989 i was 18 and i was in Acropolis Disco in Rome, when i listened to this track for the first time. It will always remain in my heart.

[@KingofGlory77x7]

I love this tune... haven’t heard it in years! I miss those rave days! One minute you’re a teenager and early 20’s... and life’s one big adventure and party! Next minute you look you’re in your 40’s and 50’s and still pretending to be 16! 😊😔❤️💕💞🌈✝️🙏🌸😂

[@robotjunkie3764]

its ok i still have the mental age of a teenager, i fell down the stairs and smacked my head

[@bunders2780]

I think of that with jungle and drum and bass tunes. Not really into today's genre of futuristic music, like why

[@biomagno]

don t worry...you re not alone! i m 44 almost 45...and there ain't no regrets to have been a teenager during the 90's...feel so proud

words are inadequate when it comes to summing up the awesomenes of this beautiful, entrancing, freeing track....freeing as in it free's you from your reality, from your self and makes anything possible.
