808 State's classic dance hit "Cubik" has been remixed for its 21st anniversary. Listen to the new fangled mix below:

808 State "Cubik" (21st Anniversary Remix)



No offense to the remix, but the new version pales in comparison to 1990's version from Utd. State 90

"Cubik" (from Utd. State 90)



Utd. State 90 is an amazing record. How can you go wrong with a record that starts off with this song:

"Pacific 202"



About a year after the release of Utd. State 90, 808 State dropped ex:el which featured a new version of "Cubik" plus guests on the record included Bernard Sumner and Bjork

"Spanish Heart" (featuring Bernard Sumner)



"Ooops" (featuring Bjork)



808 State went on to release another fabulous record titled Gorgeous in 1993, with guest vocals from Ian McCulloch, UB40, and a song that sampled Joy Division's "She's Lost Control."
