Panic and HSIN? were 3 years and 5 years respectively previous to all that madchester nonsense weren't they? I'm confused!

    I cannot for the life of me understand why 'Panic' has been included on this compilation, as it has nothing in common, lyrically or musically with the Madchester sound/movement.

    'How Soon Is Now' however, I can see why it would be included. When Richard Ashcroft was asked to pick his 'Tracks Of My Years' on Radio 2 recently, he chose HSIN and said that musically it was years ahead of it's time. It's shuffling Bo Diddleyesque beat, and it's overall sound of coming across like a jam-session was instrumental in the whole baggy/Madchester scene.
    Again, though, lyrically it's a million miles away from the hedonism of that particular movement. Sure, the protagonist of HSIN still goes to a club, but rather than indulge in any chemical experimentation, leaves the club heartbroken at having failed to meet the boy/girl of their dreams.

        This takes me back to the days when everyone was wearing incredibly wide baggy denim flares and white hooded tops with Jesus logos! Pudding bowl haircuts. Aciiieed! Good old days.

          I wonder if Morrissey ever went to a "rave"? I know that he does not like dance music - but EVERYONE went to a warehouse party in them days.

          There is a Turk that never goes out.
          It's name is Sami Pinarbasi. It lives in Manchester but it never goes out there because it knows it would get it's greasy little kebab munching face smashed in.
