@@jbone-0-919 Nah, breakbeat hardcore is influenced by house and techno, but it has breakbeats instead of a four on the floor rhythm, and it's usually a bit faster.

Thumbs up from over here too. Great tunes. People respected one another. No nastiness or division. And the cars. Mercedes W124, BMW E36, Volvo 850 GLT, Range Rover Classic, Alfa 75, Lancia Dedra HF Turbo, Audi V8, Citroen XM 24V... aaahh, the good old days!
Not even lying I wrote these guys a fan letter when I was in college and they sent reply a letter back. I was so excited. God bless Andy's friends and fam. Fan for life.
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!
@@NM-qt3oi Not far behind you lads. 48 and still find myself biting my upper lip and nodding my head. (if im wearing a hoddie it automatically gets thrown over my head).
Likewise, I’m 49 this and a handful of other songs really got me hooked starting a 7 year journey of clubs parties and even going on the other side and doing sound production for a small series of underground parties. This song takes me back to where it all started.
I was 29 in 1989 . I am now 57 . An old git but the memories of that era are the strongest of all that have happened in my life . I am from South London went to lots of raves and went to Ibiza twice a year . I Can't get no sleep . Sunrise .. Acid
@@chrismith251 tasco 89 Lol First time I ever had a bet on the horses was 1993 all I had was 1 pound on me so I walked in put my pound on a horse it come in 7 to 1 then I put the 7 on a 8 to 1 it came in What did I do with money Went to tasco Only went there the once 93 Life utopia Never knew tasco was going on in 89 to this day 89 dungeons and echoes for me plus other gigs m25 biology etc
Just goes to show that there was so much going back then you couldn't get to go to everything tha t was going on I didn't go to my first energy rave unto 1990 Energy was no 1 right. 1990.london docklands arena My first and last
Even people who weren't into rave music felt this song. It's one of those songs which emotionally makes you feel like your visiting different worlds. If you were in the rave scene back then, it was truly surreal, I mean gigantic. Forget the likes of Glastonbury, that is nothing compared to the rave scene back in the day. RIP Andy Barker, Pacific State soars for eternity.
One Saturday night when I was 11 years old, I was skateboarding for hours and somehow drifted into a warehouse in Houston's old downtown Chinatown. All of these hipster types were dancing. Witnessing that event changed my outlook on dancing. They danced like no one was watching. It was amazing. This song was playing.
I first heard this at a warehouse party in Accy in 89. Was tripping that night, so many great dance tunes about but this was something else! I can remember the sound of people's feet sliding on the concrete floor dancing to it. Whenever I hear this track it takes me right back to that night. The best times...
@@helencroft6745 My sister is physically very ill for years and music is one of the things that uplifts her spirits. Mine too btw. If you like this, then also listen to "Sueno Latino" en The Beloved's "The sun rising".
Brings tears to my eyes. Growing up close to Chicago, I was able to see Ront Trent, Lil Louis, and all the greats spin this live. I'd close my eyes and dance like my life depended on in......
My girlfriend/now wife bought this and played it at my surprise 21st weeks after it was released. I am now 48. Still living under the spell of rave/trance/techno.
1989 Used to Smoke a joint and listened to this with friends, It was like flying up in the sky. Those years were magical Now I'm 63 and still love these tunes
Man, this takes me back to the Summer of 1989, my weekend trip to NYC!! Went to visit an old military buddy Martin Miller. What a disastrous time I had. Spent 4 nights in that apartment, with no party night. I listen to the radio and recorded the Saturday Night Dance Party. This song was the only good thing that came out of that trip! By the time he dropped me off at the bus station, he was burning rubber! That's why I laugh everytime I hear this song!! Boy, 35yrs goes by pretty quick. That was REAL music!!! 😊
Heard this game changer 1989 at my 1st rave. I was 18 and on the road to ruin, I can honestly say this music changed my whole path and direction in life. Love and music, the answer to all life’s problems !
My first ever gig and rave when I was 15 was seeing 808 State with N-Joi supporting at Brixton Academy in 1990. My whole world opened and my life changed that night. Will always be so grateful for these amazing tunes ❤️
Just can't stop listening to this track...born in 89 so missed the best days by the sound of it !still grew up in the 90s though so count myself lucky I'm not growing up in the world we live in now!
It was September of 1990. A car load of us went to a country park outside Glasgow to an event called 'Slam In The Park'. 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 remember being a student in Banbury Oxfordshire buying this record vinyl in an independent record shop. Still have it. 1989. Still listening as a 50 year old now living in Spain 🇪🇸
I was born in '57. I was an original Flower Child in the '60's, listening to all kinds of MusiK, but I've always loved SYNTHS the best. I remember the early MOOGs and how electronic MusiK gained popularity over the next few decades. I found KRAFTWERK in 1978, and New Wave was big in the '80's. In the late '90's, I was RAVING in The REDWOODS in HUMBOLDT County, [EUREKA] NorCal, USofA, helping the DJ set up his sound system. They don't do parties like that anymore. Tracks like this bring it all back. :D
Back in the day if you were fortunate enough to be old enough to hear this it was pure house music class and still to this day to those in the know its pure class from a old house music lover in 1988 still till this day , respect and love .
I was in England on holiday from australia in 1989-1990 and this tune was number 1 in the charts bought it on vinyl in London still got it after all these years top tune man! Love reading these comments everybody loves this gem of a tune goosebumps tingling up the neck....🙂😍 👍🔊💎
Word! Now you mention it, it does sound like the first stirrings. A guy called Gerald produced this when he was part of 808 state, the man is a groundbreaking legend of the rave scene.
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.
I can’t even describe the effect this song has on my brain and consciousness. The most unusual and non-human noises hitting my soul better than human words at the best of times. It always gives me thoughts of something powerful out there beyond my limited human comprehension - a house friekennnn classic!!!
Another absolute classic from the good old days of early rave. This track always took me to another world. I'll never forget those nights of complete peace and love. RIP Andy. God bless.
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 🤗❤👏👏👏
It has to be said the best years of my life was during the period this song and others were new out. I’m now 54 and it takes me back to a time when I wasn’t stressed, or had a mortgage and the only worries were “am I going to get a shag this weekend”
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. So glad I bought a copy of this, along with all the other hundreds of vinyl I bought!
As we speak.....heading into my 52nd year (5th decade) of my life i find myself seeking the music of my past. All i can say is...us Gen X'rs were so lucky and spoilt rotten with the music. Bless the 80s and the 90s
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.
1989,22 years old and the world at my feet,a world we were going to change.51 now and the world has changed for the worse and is on my shoulders. The only remedy is to skin up and listen to the likes of this...
1989 to us was like 1969 to the hippies.. we reached a cultural peak and the powers didn't like it. By the mid 90s Draconian laws were passed that effectively made it ILLEGAL for a movement like this to happen again, notably the Criminal Justice Bill, after this you couldn't play music loud in public.
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.
Soooo many good memories when I hear this tune....long,hot,sweaty ,sexy nights....pure ecstacy!!!! I am old enough to have been around for the originalxxxx
Heard this tune for the first time in a bus when i was about 11 years old heading home from amusement park back in summer 1995, it was such a cool feeling hearing a beat with nature sounds and that base in the backround while just looking out the window passing through central Gothenburg,Sweden.
I remember first hearing this on a dance chart run down i'd taped straight off Capital Radio, number two was Back to Life then the DJ said 'and still at one, Pacific State by 808 State..' Happy days.
best UK house tune of all? Damn yeah! Takes me back to my halcyon daze every time I hear it........ summarised an incredible 89. Those boys are legends!
Nice one Johnny....last heard this a few years back at Joshua Brooks in Manchester...all the old heads getting together...will always be a very special choon ......good times
Camp Hanson Okinawa Japan 1989 bought this CD at the PX not knowing the group just wanted to listen to something new. Boy did it change my taste in music. Thank you!
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! 😊😔❤️💕💞🌈✝️🙏🌸😂
I get chills listening to this old but still beautiful track I was 23 now I’m 54 but I still love electronic house and house music in general.1989 my first time in IBIZA Spain my first time met House Music never go out of my mind...
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 ❤✨🎉🎶❤️
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.

Remember this track with fond memories had it on cd and its was played in every night club over London xx great track classic sonds xxxx
Coming up on a pill, the smell of poppers, dancing non stop, experiencing it all with your pals, never wanting it to stop, the best times.
Nailed it
One of the best tracks of 1988...loved this...could still mix this today...belissima..
Apparently this band was a major inspiration for the soundtrack to Sonic CD. After listening to this banger I can see its influence.
the beginning of little planet theme
Sonic CD's JP sound track is too good it got me to learn music production and synthesiser programming I listen to it at least once a day
When hearing this song on the radio I keep briefly thinking that it’s a sonic CD track I don’t remember.
I think this fits good for a good future of Dubious Depths
But sonic is Michael Jacksons work
My first ever gig and rave when I was 15 was seeing 808 State with N-Joi supporting at Brixton Academy in 1990. My whole world opened and my life changed that night. Will always be so grateful for these amazing tunes ❤️
Just can't stop listening to this track...born in 89 so missed the best days by the sound of it !still grew up in the 90s though so count myself lucky I'm not growing up in the world we live in now!
Also born in 89 and think exactly the same thing man!
You didn't miss anything trust me.
We can't remember the Rave parties 25 + yrs later and many of us blacked out after 3AM.
I, too, was born in 1989. Honestly, I never knew that songs like that would be made that year. (Forgive me for using the word *that* so many times.)
Born in 1985, definitely missed the best times of music !

As we speak.....heading into my 52nd year (5th decade) of my life i find myself seeking the music of my past. All i can say is...us Gen X'rs were so lucky and spoilt rotten with the music.
Bless the 80s and the 90s
Dude the ending brung up natural tears, ambient house is truly a gem
What beautiful sound from the minute it was released. Tottally timeless. Its still as good as the first time I heard it.
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.
1989,22 years old and the world at my feet,a world we were going to change.51 now and the world has changed for the worse and is on my shoulders.
The only remedy is to skin up and listen to the likes of this...

Bastards got us
Amen to that..world's full of wallflowers,kids having kids with no teachings of manners, empathy.. We're going backwards ☹️
1989 to us was like 1969 to the hippies.. we reached a cultural peak and the powers didn't like it. By the mid 90s Draconian laws were passed that effectively made it ILLEGAL for a movement like this to happen again, notably the Criminal Justice Bill, after this you couldn't play music loud in public.

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
Heaven.....now THAT was a nightclub. Went there twice on a trip to London and still consider both times the highlight of my visit.
Three very good venues!!
I lived just of Coldharbour Lane now yeah good times
hoping to go to see Ladytron their gig from October was cancelled
R.I.P. Andy. Thank You For Your Electronica Music Input!! Another Musician Gone & Young At That!!😥

Grew up on east side & always loved this track ❤
I saw these support the Happy Mondays in Manchester ...bloody amazing gig
Soooo many good memories when I hear this tune....long,hot,sweaty ,sexy nights....pure ecstacy!!!! I am old enough to have been around for the originalxxxx
Use to do my homework to this in the 9th grade. I'm now 44, still sends back to those great times.
Heard this tune for the first time in a bus when i was about 11 years old heading home from amusement park back in summer 1995, it was such a cool feeling hearing a beat with nature sounds and that base in the backround while just looking out the window passing through central Gothenburg,Sweden.
These guys really raised the bar in '89. What a classic tune!
Heard this watching a bbc2 documentary about the Manchester music scene. They were appearing on Top of the pops! Superb!!
I remember first hearing this on a dance chart run down i'd taped straight off Capital Radio, number two was Back to Life then the DJ said 'and still at one, Pacific State by 808 State..' Happy days.
Holy crap! This is absolutely effing mint! That sax bro! Just listening to this on loop makes my day.
best UK house tune of all?
Damn yeah! Takes me back to my halcyon daze every time I hear it........ summarised an incredible 89. Those boys are legends!
A Guy Called Gerald ( Gerald Simpson) is mainly responsible for this timeless classic.
Also the equally seminal Voodoo Ray
Rip Andy barker ❤️ Thanks for the memories ❤️🕺🏽
Remember always listening to this on my Sony Walkman back in the days. Soooogood.
Nice one Johnny....last heard this a few years back at Joshua Brooks in Manchester...all the old heads getting together...will always be a very special choon ......good times
Camp Hanson Okinawa Japan 1989 bought this CD at the PX not knowing the group just wanted to listen to something new. Boy did it change my taste in music. Thank you!
Can I just say, everyone is here saying that 'I remember the old days' but I'm 13 as of writing this and it is one of the best songs ever made
Good taste
One day, these will be your old days.
Good taste man (from a guy who drive a miata)
Keep on the good job boy, you are on the right path ❤️
You have impeccable taste .
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! 😊😔❤️💕💞🌈✝️🙏🌸😂
its ok i still have the mental age of a teenager, i fell down the stairs and smacked my head
I think of that with jungle and drum and bass tunes. Not really into today's genre of futuristic music, like why
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
C'mon Mate, you're making depressed. Life is life FFS.
47 and still a ravin loonatic
I'm 65 now and fortunate enough to live in Ibiza, still love these old skool classics!
I get chills listening to this old but still beautiful track I was 23 now I’m 54 but I still love electronic house and house music in general.1989 my first time in IBIZA Spain my first time met House Music never go out of my mind...
My first 7". Now got 10k+ records. Still love this. It started it all.
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 ❤✨🎉🎶❤️
Takes me back to when I was 18. 49 now and still great to hear this beauty. No other house track sounds anything like this one, unique.
Timeless and brilliant ! reminds me of my younger days before the world became the messed up place it is today ! happy partying everyone

R.i.p Andy Barker..rave in peace...thanx for the magic
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.
Good memories...
