Inspiral Carpets were part of the Manchester dominance that started in the 80's. We had already obsessed over Joy Division, The Fall, The Smiths and New Order - then came the Madchester scene featuring Happy Mondays, The Stone Roses, The Charlatans and Inspiral Carpets, to name a few. The Madchester scene was, or defined, the period of the late 80's/early 90's when indie rock was moving towards dance music. The Manchester nightclub 'The Hacienda' was also a big part of that scene. "Caravan" was a single from the Inspiral Carpets' second album 'The Beast Inside.' You can hear some traces of 60's psychedelic in their sound... but LSD was out and E was the drug of choice at this time.
