This radio edit version seems different to the album version. It's a great Spanish guitar flavour track, but you just can't get away from the Pacific track (any mix version) as there is a definite Pacific sample about one third way in this track! Not sure why it is called "Plan 9" as I'm sure the title is from some movie with that same title that is space adventure themed, also the music is at odds with the video as that looks like the lads are on some sort of survival course military exercise in some desert setting, nothing Spanish holiday villa sun sand and sea relaxing images to be seen anywhere at all! PS. Today I just managed to break out of listening to the "Pacific" mix versions first and foremost (101, 707, State, 808:98, 303, Groove Jeep Mix, Original, Radio Edit, 202, the USA mixes: 0101, 909, Break, 212, 516, 718, and God knows what other versions are out there on UA-cam!) and to listen instead to some other 808 State top notch classic dance tunes, that still sound as fresh as they had sounded some 30 years ago when first released: "Ancodia" "Cobra Bora" "Cubik" "In Yer Face" "Olympic" (as used as the opening music title for that one time ultra popular late night Ch4 (in the UK) youth magazine talk show "The Word" with Terry Christian) "Lift" (I remember some music magazine described this track as supermarket aisle music - lol!) "Open" (there is a sample vocal part: "open your mind" from that blockbuster "Total Recall" ultra-violent futuristic action movie with Arnold Swarzenegger and Sharon Stone) "The Only Rhyme That Bites" (with MC Tunes - the most amazing word thesaurus rap artist ever! Also great use of the sample theme music from the most unusual source - a Hollywood western movie called The Big Country). "Tunes Splits The Atom" (with MC Tunes again - the radio edit version is different to the album version, but both are likeable!) "Dance Yourself To Death" (with MC Tunes again - from his album The North At Its Heights. Totally deranged tune with psychotic mad lyrics to boot). "Nephatiti" "San Francisco" "Techno Bell" "Moses" (with Ian McCulloch) "Qmart" (with Bjork) "Leo, Leo" Other tracks from the Ex-El album. Some remix track with a Japanese electro-pop band called Yellow Magic Orchestra. Some remix track of "Papau New Guinea" by PNG (I think it is just a Graham Massey one) "10x10" "Time bomb" "Contrique" "One In Ten" (with UB40 - rather ironic how the band lead Ali Campbell did so well with the group but ended up bankrupt later on - and so ended up claiming no doubt his UB40 unemployment cheque as it was then known - now its Universal Credit, UK only relevant). Other tracks from the "Gorgeous" album. I sort of stopped listening to 808 State after that 3rd album - not sure why. Anyway, having discovered UA-cam some years ago, I will always come back to listening to "Pacific" (nearly all the mix versions) as it's such a great timeless classic multi-layered sax dance track to listen to!!! ❤❤❤
also my favorite 808 track. i've never been in Bolivia or Argentina, but somehow this sounds like these places. and where is that video filmed? somewhere there.

Just reminiscing 808 state. Class tune. RIP Andy Barker Pioneer.
I love this track, wonderful memories echoing from the past, one of the mtv's chillout era classics, wonderful!
same.....im 47 old :)
The r/OldElectronicMusic subreddit brought me here!
🔥 💣 💚
Ah the opening, I remember it now. It doesn't take long. Love the mixture of classical and rave
My God this takes me back....classic.
Brings back fu.kin" great memories. Wish I could go back to that era and knowing what I know now...
R.I.P. Andy.
I'm young again ! Takes me right back to watching mtv's chillout zone completely off my nut... classic track this. 8-)
I love this tune
Peak. Would be great in HD. Gorgeous and Don Solaris are classics
Yeah they are! Personally I'd add Utd State 1990 for the trifecta.

3:03 is beautiful. I wish this version was on the albums
👍👍❤❤ how wonderful
Happy memories, thanks for posting.
Where does the "ULEULEULEE" sample at 0:50 come from?
It's so 808 State it's omnipresent in Quadrastate and shit.
Nice video to accommodate a grand track. This music lives on with selected Gen Y'ers.
