Taken from today's Times:
"Manchester anthem
808 State’s Pacific State. Whenever I hear it, it always takes me back to that balmy summer of 1988 in the Hacienda. I can remember it all, the feeling that acid-house was the new punk. It gave everybody a new sense of freedom, a new sense of DIY. You could make acid house music in your bedroom. The two stages of music, to me, are electronic punk and guitar punk. We put them together — a long time before 808 State. "
