Inspiral Carpets - “Joe” (1990)

From their EP “Cool As ****” which was my introduction to this band.

I have fond memories of their particular version of the “Madchester” sound, with its energetic blend of organs, synths, and distorted guitars.

Lately I've been revisiting this EP, their first LP, and the single “Commercial Rain”.

Inspiral Carpets - This Is How It Feels

WIKI
The song was released as a single from their album "Life" on March 5, 1990.

The song tells the story of a working-class mother involved in an extramarital affair, which resulted in her lover’s suicide. As a result, she is unable to reveal the reason for her grief without also revealing the affair.

The Stone Roses - Made of Stone

WIKI
"Made of Stone" is a single from The Stone Roses' eponymous debut album.

The band made their debut on national British TV by performing this song on the BBC's The Late Show in September 1989. A minute into the song, the power went out, prompting lead singer Ian Brown to walk off stage, cursing the venue.

The word is Great

Black Grape's debut album “It’s Great When You’re Straight…Yeah” 1995

was the next venture for pals and following their previous band . They updated their sound, interweaving heavier rhythms with dabs of Jamaican flavor and , giving it a cut-and-paste feel even when not using actual samples, but the music was just as jubilant. It’s ! It’s a party! It’s what I like to imagine might have become if they hadn’t fallen to the perils of . Speaking of…I’ve always taken the album title as a reference to Ryder’s on-and-off addictions, but I’m also pretty sure he was still using back then; maybe it was aspirational. But there would be plenty of time in the next millennium for dealing with such things.

1999? Shit, I wanna party like it's #1995.

I just learned about the band “Electronic”.

It’s Johnny Marr from The Smiths and Bernard Sumner from New Order.

The song I heard had vocals by Neil Tennant from Pet Shop Boys.

I was struggling to identify who the band was from listening alone. It sounded exactly like what it was: a song sung by Pet Shop Boys, using a New Order bass line, and guitars from The Smiths.

It. Was. Perfection.

En veel bands zullen zich of her uitvinden of gewoon verdwijnen.
De alternatieve rockband krijgt meer visibiliteit, of ze dat nu willen of niet. Indie en noise bands profiteren ook mee, of meten zich ook het jasje van het genre aan. In de UK heerst er en worden bands een cultstatus aangemeten. Bekendste zal worden.
In de USA, zal muziek terug ruwer worden, en nieuwe genres zullen op de punk of hardrockleest gevormd worden Met name en .
