Newbuild is the debut studio album by English electronic music group 808 State, released in September 1988 by Creed Records.

[2] It was the only album recorded with founding member Gerald Simpson, who departed shortly afterward for a solo career.

The group recorded the album on tape found discarded outside the BBC's Manchester studios.

[3] In a 1988 review, OffBeat described the album as "compulsive stuff, you don't exactly listen to it, more like feeel the frequencies... and respond.

"[6] In 1999, Alternative Press called it an "artificial dystopia" in which the tracks "strip away the soul of Detroit techno and replace it with a cold and rhythmic paranoia.
