STATE 808: Pacific
WEA 12-inch 246521

Dance music, currently more popular than ever, alone accounts for a bewildering number of styles and sub-genres. The latest is so-called ambient house, a more interesting variant of acid house from the North of England: State 808's club hit Pacific, with its dreamy soprano sax motif, is shot through with shivers of Weather Report, and although ultimately too hyped-up and breathless to sustain the atmosphere, signposts potentially interesting directions.

808 STATE 'Pacific - 909 (Mellow birds mega edit)'

(ZTT ZANG 1 TX)

Still atmospherically started and whippoorwill twittered but then dramatic organ chorded more angular bouncy (0-)120 5/8 - 0bpm good 'Twilight'-ish re-re-remix, with a percussively tumbling 120 3/4 - 0bpm 'Bonus Bird Beats' plus, for exceptional value, their album's standout exciting 120 1/4 bpm 'Cobra-Bora' (full length this time)
