it's a shitty industrial city in the north that's cold and rainy a lot of the time and nobody has anything better to be doing. at the same time, it's relatively large population wise and has a very distinct cultural identity, which makes it a good place for like minded people to find one another and for music to ferment.

Good, maybe the board will start talking about good modern music at last.

Is this Madchester at its peak or have I missed something?

Stone Roses is the better album but I'd say Mondays definitely embodied the spirit better

>>72842079
I like them better than Stone Roses. They had swagger.

as a manc: depends when you mean, punk and post-punk was at the time of Thatcher, who was closing all the mines (of which a lot are in Greater Manchester), so people got fucking angry and rallies need music, basically experimental bands got popular because of the grassroots stuff and then people were able to copy from those bands and add their own experiments. Before then and after I'm not sure there has been a big difference between it and other large cities.

I think only a cold, industrial city like Manchester could produce the sounds of Autechre. Metallic dissonance

well, autechre has its roots in kraftwerk, but they were both borne from movements rather than the cities themselves. Otherwise we'd have cold industrial romantic leider from Manchester too.
