Our Take

The Complete Singles of Inspiral Carpets is like a blast from the Madchester past, transporting you back to the days of baggy jeans, bowl haircuts, and plenty of indie charm. This 8-panel digi collection is a time capsule of the band's biggest hits, including classics like This Is How It Feels and Dragging Me Down. Each track is a quirky blend of swirling organ, jangly guitars, and frontman Tom Hingley's unmistakable vocals, creating a sound that's as infectious as it is unique.

From the opening chords of Joe to the pulsating beats of Commercial Reign, this compilation is a reminder of why Inspiral Carpets were such a force to be reckoned with in the 90s indie scene. The band's ability to seamlessly blend catchy melodies with psychedelic undertones is on full display here, making each song a mini adventure in sonic exploration.

But it's not just about the music - the packaging of this release is a treat for the eyes, with vibrant artwork and detailed liner notes that provide insight into the band's colourful history. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, The Complete Singles of Inspiral Carpets is a must-have addition to your collection. So go ahead, slip on your dancing shoes and let the infectious grooves of this album transport you back to a time when Britpop ruled the airwaves.

About the artist

Inspiral Carpets

Ah, the Manchester music scene of the late 80s and early 90s. A hotbed of creativity, innovation, and some seriously baggy fashion choices. And right at the heart of it all were the enigmatic lads from Inspiral Carpets. Formed in 1983, Inspiral Carpets burst onto the scene with their unique blend of psychedelic rock, punk attitude, and enough organ sounds to make even The Doors jealous. With frontman Stephen Holt's distinctive vocals leading the charge, the band quickly established themselves as one of the key players in the burgeoning Madchester movement. Their debut album, "Life", was a chaotic whirlwind of catchy hooks, swirling organs, and driving rhythms that captivated audiences and critics alike. And let's not forget their iconic track "This Is How It Feels", with its unforgettable chorus that still sends shivers down the spine to this day. But perhaps what truly set Inspiral Carpets apart was their electrifying live shows. With their explosive energy, infectious enthusiasm, and psychedelic visuals, a Carpets gig was an experience like no other. And let's not forget their curious choice of attire - who else could pull off wearing flares and bucket hats with such panache? Despite lineup changes and the ever-shifting landscape of the music industry, Inspiral Carpets have remained a beloved institution in British music. Their legacy lives on in the hearts of fans old and new, a testament to the enduring power of their music and the indomitable spirit of Madchester. Long live the Carpets!
