[69waveydavey]

At the time we took it for granted and thought didn't think much of it but now there's just no comparison to the modern dog-shit excuse for music. it's all been done before only much better.

[FrankSidebottom]

tune

[BlueTrueScouse]

This record is the pure sound of the late 80s Acid House scene in England.

[CustomJ]

Imagine having scaled mount everest, with your fovourite bong. You're naked and now your taking a virgin rip of O.G kush, from a exotic inline precooled, ultra loop de loop, stem-line to in-line....... you've ripped....lung and mind expansion.....exhale.... THAT's what this tune reminds me of... reply if you know what I'm talking about :)

[LaurenK418]

I feel like im high.

[IchDerComputerFreak]

This is underground music! SF-UR!!

[Eoinposse]

1989? Reminds me of 2007. That's when it was being played on Ireland's sadly missed Nightshift music video show.

[mierecords]

absolute classic - not much more to say.

[jonblazeinc]

why did a guy called gerald leave 808?

[PetShopMod]

Back when Raves were called Warehouse Party's, this would have been one of THE anthems. Respect from Melbourne Oz.

[mixomaster]

メタモに来る！らしい！

[divernater]

i first saw and heard this when i woke up on the lounge , it was on late nite 'Rage' and it was so dreamy and brilliant,!! and the beginnings of House music, and my/our world would never be the same,,, simply superb!!!!!

[alphaomega309]

i wish someone could upload the video that went to this i remember a guy running along a beach at night and lots of flash imagery

[caza301]

SF-UR = pure epicness

[hofmann308]

always puts me in a good mood

[leobernimax]

Impressionante,incomparavelmen­te imersiva !

[gabeisdamncool]

I always thought these guys were from Hawaii, with a name like "808 state", and a song called "pacific state". Coincidence?

[SSlartibartfastII]

@gabeisdamncool They're from England. Not sure why they used 808 state as their name, maybe they just really like Hawaii? I know I do. :D

[VivsterVoom]

I love this song - went to the Amazing Wickerman Festival last July 2010 in Kirkcudbright Scotland, and 808 State headlined on Sunday night - played an amazing set for 2 hours and finished with a massive version of this plus the original! I am truly privileged!

[raakone]

Very wonderful. You know what the 808 State is, right?

[faliraki20]

@raakone no i don't - what is it?

[raakone]

@faliraki20 HAwai'i.....the area code for all phone numbers there is 808

[faliraki20]

@raakone u'd have thought i'd have known that - my boyfriend is hawaiian - oh well, u learn something new everyday! haha

[satmpedemonster]

love it

[funduro352]

backtoo1989. agree 100% , the line was drawn at this, anything after was in debt to a couple of blokes from manchester ( aka eastern bloc)

[AldershotRB]

You have gotta give credit to the Manchester sound of the 80.s and 90,s...you guys really did pump out some great tunes.

[maharajaRS]

@AldershotRB I moved to Manchester for ten years becasue of the music and partied hard all that time... including the Hacienda. And there was something about that place that just grabbed hold of you....

[AldershotRB]

@maharajaRS ...good on you...great sounds for a great time in my life as well.

[sirgeggs]

a classic sir geggs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[trep1983]

I bumped into Martin Price out of 808 State the other day when he was walking his dog. Had a good chat, top guy, not seen him for years!

[krazynite]

Always takes me to another place this song....:)

[hundhun17]

i remember hearing this first time off my head on something. The impact this song had when i first heard it in that state of mind....holy fuck, it was pure euphoria i have been trying to capture that moment in thousands of other songs but nothing has had the same impact this one had that time, Its very powerful and brings up a lot of memories. One of the truly all time great electonica tracks.

[ashleighjarvis22]

possible the best tune ofthe 80's and absolutely timeless

[Xplicit56]

gta sanandreas

[fanksie79]

takes me back to the good days

[bazzerv6]

my all time favourite dance track.doesnt matter what kind of shitty day i have had at work, put this on and everything seems ok.first heard 808 state years ago then went to see them at the waterfront in norwich and have been hooked ever since!!!

[RichieB1973]

This was the tune that got me from acid house into hardcore. I was 16 and shopping one Saturday in Croydon, walked into this funky clothes shop and this was belting out over the sound system. I went up to the guy at the counter and asked him if it was his cassette playing and did he know the track. Turns out he'd been raving the night before and had seen 808 State play this live a couple of weeks earlier. Quick trip to Wax City Records and I had it on 12". Absolute classic tune!

[sachaboro]

Best classy zone out tune ever

[twistedfarker]

Saw these guys live, they were amazing

[sabbeltjesab]

tx nice music :)

[tinmccool]

beautiful manc sounds, happy days

[extrem1008]

[fckngnthestrt]

[garstonblue]

this is where it all began for me, absolute genius, what great times...

[KuznetsovTumansky]

I'm brasilian, leave in Ubatuba (101 beaches), and this song always inspire me. Wonderfull song. Até mais.

[koums94]

fukkkin beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[glostommo]

GMEX 1991 - I was about 20 ft from the stage during the 808 state concert, Massey kicks this off and I end up about 10 ft nearer due to the pure surge filled with adrenalin and euphoria! My vinyl back catalogue is still kept safe with several versions of this masterpiece....the 808 State anthem!

[pazzypants]

Class tune takes me back to my raving days AT THE State and the hacienda xxx

[buhdyguy]

bet u havent heard this beat...

/watch?v=8yv91Hq3vSE

[thepaligap]

BEAUTIFUL TRACK. WAS IN MY TEENS WHEN THIS CAME OUT.

[ronnieboydsmith]

[deadmau6680]

[duran9418]

Gotta say, this is/was `HAVIN IT` serious! GR8 tune

[98bigbutt]

When I hear this song,I think about winter ends going into spring and the temperatures rising to the warm side.

[HappyHardcoreTunes]

[60LionStreet]

[acs1978aus]

I was simply acknowledging the comment made about genius musicians coming out if Manchester. That's all.

[rocamoora]

@Triplex808, what does 'being a scot' have anything to do with it mate, its all about the MUSIC...

[rocamoora]

Massey is a god, all ways has , always will be.

[getin348]

this is what got me into electronic music, hearing 808 state 90 at my cousins wedding reception! the next day i bought the album from 'our price' music in slough..... amazing

[DaBoogie049]

sounds like porn background music XD

[PerignonPop]

@DaBoogie049 ???

[tashpish]

was born in 1987, granted am younger than most people who like this stuff but i think i'd sacrafice bein older to have grown up in these times, just excellent.

Missed raves!!!! saddens me to think i'll never experience them :( also, back when ecstacy WAS ecstacy, surely someone still has the formula? where is this chap!!

[MsHardcorerave]

@tashpish theres lots of raves abroad now , all over

[iwillknifeya]

The Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas soundtrack had the best music on it, rock, hip-hop/rap, house/dance, grunge, every genre! Good times and a amazing ambient song!

[bendym4n123]

MADCHESTER!!! RAVE ON!!!!

[tutuxiba]

00:00 - 00:14

[Xyru87]

@kamaakazi

[SuperInferno88]

[L4dybyrd]

Yeah, cool tune ...I was 18 in 1991 what a decade 2 grow up in!!! where all dance tunes of 2day came from....early raves...the best!!  ;o)

[dhhs91]

That bass is the SICKEST thing I've ever heard in my life.

[daniloivensmina]

ULTRA-HIGH-TECH-SINTETIZER-AMA­ZING-GRAPHICS-MUSIC-VIDEO mode ON LOL

[KrillLiberator]

Oh, wow - I still got goosebumps from hearing that after all those years it still sends shivers up and down my back and takes me to a very, very special place; that's just for me, but this record has lost none of it's beauty over two decades along the road.

Magnificent - thank you SOOO much for posting an all-time classic (and, if you didn't guess my all-time number one rave tune) from a guy who was pretty young then and ain't no more.

[Starlight091970]

Music from my young days

[fun2010K]

GTA san andreas i like song uhuuuuuuuuuuu

[karinoiseluzinda]

I first listened to this song when I was like 12 or 13 years old, on an extinct radio station here in Mexico, called "Radioactivo" and since then, my life wasn't the same.

[thraemonium]

@karinoiseluzinda I'm 20 and i just discovered that song, but same story. I'm glad that there are other people like me.

[karinoiseluzinda]

@thraemonium  :D

[faceinembryo]

@karinoiseluzinda haha i loved that post and reading posts like it

[dinasouradventure3d]

@karinoiseluzinda The firs time i listen to this song was when i was 15 and i watched the 24 hrs Party People movie in LA, then i few years later i founf a 12'" of this track, since then, my life has changed a lot.

[Jamesess1]

Defined a generation....

[EyeSpyHiFi]

Pure class. :-D

[jupiterscastle]

i had the LP vinyl of their first album with this song it , as well as the 12" single, some idiot stole it from me long time ago

[cisco9x]

Anyone remember Stakker Humanoid, Opus III and The Orb

[djlespommes]

@cisco9x remember? more like burned into my mind!

[cisco9x]

I bought this in 1989 and used to play it in me dads motor, he was 54 then and thought it was well pukka...and still does

[kateroques]

@cisco9x I'm making a playlist for my dads 55th birthday party and this is deffinitely on it!!!!! parents can be cool too!!!!! lol

[Design8ted]

You never really loved House music, if you never heard this record, it's a monument!

[rhionasmommy]

Class xxxx

[DoWluver]

woot I need to try this music while high XD

[TheLexyboy]

@DoWluver yes you do, i got removed from the decks at a house party for playing this three times in a row while flying on some dynamite E lol! Happy daze

[mylesaminute]

my 94 mix

[djlowkey63]

OMG!!! I just LOVE this track deathsince back in the day 89'. Acid house flashback anyone?

[kansasinnovember]

[bluloon]

@kansasinnovember Damn right! What a tune!!

[meelercer]

WOOOOOOO  reminds me of tripping when I was 15! : )

[Hellfire5500]

great song !!!

[rtmnmk]

@Hellfire5500

Song?

I don't hear any vocalist...

[nickthelick]

I bought this on 7" when it came out... I was 10years old! Thanks for getting it for me, mum!

[Eoinposse]

I'm 16 and this song is fantastic.

[leebops10]

can you believe this is from the same era as all the 80's stuff this is such a 90's track ahead ofits time love it. get sad hearing the tracks dunno why

[TheScousebird]

fab sexy funky tune brill with volume high.

[randyflash1]

This tune blew the roof off the Hacienda in 89, still one of my all time favourites - even the young are jealous of what we got in the late 80's & 90's - I would be too, just fantastic to have been there & experienced it 'full on'!! been there (Manchester, new York, Ibiza - etc). Wish I could go back - awesome classic!!!! :-)

[stsodhi]

A brilliant tune from the 80's. I loved this one. Excellent

[leedumett444]

this track is awesome enough said

[madflava76]

808 State sounds like the heavily influenced BT's Ima album. Ima sounds so much like this song.

[smithdvr]

i remember the first time i heard this fucker in 89,blown away and now many years later after the drugs,clubs and party`s fuck man i`m still blown away by it.

GOD BLESS THE ENGLISH RAVE SCENE AND ALL OF US WHO WAS THERE.

[HALTONBYTHEMOOR]

another tempsy tripping song

[the1andonlyMizMoon]

Mediocre at best. I think the "trance" is cocaine.

[movingshadow808702]

@the1andonlyMizMoon

your mom is mediocre at best....

[norriebhoy]

Wow, they early days!

[razorback899]

awesome

[Hunterdx321]

full trance song !!!

[bazzerv6]

my all time favourite dance record.have always been a huge fan of 808 state.had loads of limited vinyl.always be the best for me!!

[k5tar2k8]

[bashmentist]

[MsWJWHITE]

in the 1980"s i was just a baby at the time

[TripleX808]

Quality!  Manchester is THE City for genius musicians to come from!

[acs1978aus]

@TripleX808 i'm a scot, but i would wholeheartedly agree with this!

[PerignonPop]

@TripleX808 Hardly.

[pacaha]

@TripleX808 oh fuck off

[djparnate]

@TripleX808 YOUR RIGHT ARE KIDD 

[thepaligap]

@TripleX808 Absolutely!

[funnytribe]

Mothing else they ever did sounded anywhere near as good as this.

[mancmuso1]

Nice 1 Terry! Takin me back.....thanks for sharing!

[0hBabble0nSister]

@mancmuso1 super chillin excellent

[Bobtju]

unbelievable beautiful, relaxing song.

[raiderbeau]

Just checked and still not my thing. For the year I'd still listen to Jane's Addiction, Pixies, The Cure, and The Cult again. 808 was weak.

[dmj48111]

@raiderbeau Apples and oranges!

[lungsaloni]

the vid's just like the start of the day today, chilling tune

[ertvhd1]

Good times!

[arielslha]

Looks like the assembler coding I saw back in 1993-a994. Is this DOS based?
