Ang "Pacific" ay isang solong sa pamamagitan ng Ingles na elektronikong pangkat ng musika ng 808 State, na inilabas noong 1989. Ito ay umiiral sa iba't ibang mga bersyon ng halo na kilala ng iba't ibang mga pamagat, tulad ng "Pacific State" (tulad ng kasama sa Quadrastate mini-album sa taong iyon) at "Pacific 202" (tulad ng kasama sa album na Ninety).

Ang kanta ay naka-tsart sa loob ng 11 na linggo sa United Kingdom, na sumasailalim sa numero 10 sa UK Singles Chart.^[4]

"There's about 42 different versions of 'Pacific'," quipped Graham Massey, "and 'Pacific 707' is the single version we put out on ZTT. It was the last track at The Haçienda for the six months before it even got out. Then Gary Davies heard it in Ibiza and started playing it on daytime Radio 1. A few features made it stand out: the birdsong and the saxophone. I played the sax part – which is good because I didn't really play saxophone at the time. It's a moot point whether I can play that part properly now."^[5]

Paglabas

Ang solong ay pinakawalan ng Tommy Boy Records noong 15 Marso 1990 sa Estados Unidos.^[6]

Pagtanggap

Sa mga pagsusuri sa retrospektibo, sinuri ng The Independent ang isang live na konsiyerto sa pamamagitan ng 808 State noong 1997, na naglalarawan ng "Pacific State" bilang "the song that made a nation chill out. Mellow but insistent beats, a light garnishing of wildlife noises, and a soprano sax threading through it like a viper in the Eden undergrowth. It was the aural equivalent of throwing a party inside a giant flotation tank. That was 808 State."^[7]
