Released simultaneously with its twin EP “CB-128”, “CB-708” by CUBIC vs. 808 DOT POP presents the sharp, compact counterpart to CUBIC’s “Back to 808” project. Both EPs spotlight the same three tracks, each offering a different perspective - short-form immediacy here, extended dancefloor exploration on the companion release. “Back to 808” itself was born from a unique role reversal between long-time collaborators: after CUBIC had previously reworked METROLAND’s “The Colour Temperature”, Passenger S of 808 DOT POP / METROLAND reshaped “Back to Basic” into a retro-futuristic synth voyage where vintage electronics, melody, and technology merge seamlessly. On “CB-708”, these songs appear in alternative 7” versions, tighter and more direct than the album cuts. Focused on hooks, structure, and instant impact, they reconnect CUBIC’s refined synth pop with classic single-format efficiency - a perfect entry point back into the “Back to 808” universe.
