Madchester’s role as a forward-looking musical force is sometimes missed by music fans outside of the UK, who see all the Byrds influences in the Stone Roses and none of the Mr. Justin Robertson’s take on “Caravan” manages to be both utterly cosmic and totally Manchester, like Ibiza 1988 under gray Northern skies, using the original song’s piano to great effect over bubbling 303 and the suggestion of bongos.

Es un completo y excelente recopilatorio de un grupo de la escena Manchester injustamente olvidado, quizás en parte a que han estado inactivo en dos épocas diferentes y han perdido comba en esto de la industria musical. True, the band’s quality control slipped when they reunited in 2011 with original singer Stephen Holt in lieu of Hingley, but the four singles from that era feel at home at the end of the record’s chronological history, while the appearance of punk poet John Cooper Clarke on “Let You Down” sounds charmingly inevitable, like the crowning act of a Manchester psych symposium.Equally poignant is “Move,” a 1989 single with an exquisite chord sequence and one of Tom Hingley’s most heart-on-sleeve vocals, a perfectly English work of diffident emotional release that hits like the third pint of beer after your ex leaving.
