The Inspiral Carpets may have been less steeped in dance music than many of their peers, but they weren’t oblivious to the rave madness around them: “Caravan,” from 1991, had a piano line that nodded to the triumphant plink-plonk of Italo house, and the band commissioned a significant number of remixes to fill out their 12" singles, many from local producers like Jon Dasilva or Haçienda DJ Mike Pickering. They were from Oldham, for a start, a former textile town to the northeast of Manchester, and their sound leaned heavily on a very Northern English social realism, more Shelagh Delaney than Shaun Ryder.
