Back in the early ’90s, when Madchester was at its peak, Inspiral Carpets were perhaps best known for their “ cool as fuck” T-shirts, which were essential wear for any young indie fan looking to annoy their parents. The hit rate among these is not particularly high—they often feel awkward, more an ill-matched game of exquisite corpse than a genuine meeting of minds—and it is probably more interesting to know that a pre-trance Paul van Dyk remixed the Inspiral Carpets than to actually listen to his leaden and rather cheap-sounding take on “Saturn 5.
