I spent a freshman semester as a college radio DJ. This was the last song I played before my brief, pathetic career came to an end. At least I went out in style.

Wow. The memories. The Madchester Scene, the burgeoning rave scene. All the great bands of that time. There was something in the air, it was bristling. Incredible. I had this in my sony-walkman and just let the whole (great) album play (good old 'autoreverse' :). What happened to music guys? WHAT HAPPENED? The shit of today cant hold a CANDLE to the good vibe we had then.

This is a great song to harmonize to. If I ever have a band, I want to do a cover of this incredibly cool song.

[@nickharris7956]

Great days guys. Anyone heard of the New Fast Aitomatic Daffodils. They were bloody amazing live and I've seen the Roses, Mondays, Blur etc. Loadsa quality bands in the early 90s MBV were young then.

Manchester music at its most brilliant. These guys are legends and the tune is a masterpiece, feel brilliant that I've got it in my music library, tons better than the crud you get nowadays.

I am sure they have their own meaning behind the song. However, this came out during the Balkan wars. It always reminded me of that. A terrible conflict....who was supporting what, religion, religious politics..east-west...men going and not sure which side was which really. Many young men

Even now, 33 years after I first got into them, I'll be waiting for kettle to boil or the microwave to ping and my anxious fingers start randomly taping out a rhythm on the worktop or the cupboard door, and then a second later as my mind asks "hmmm.... what's that from again"? as my ears tune in. And there it is the 4/4 offbeat intro to 'Joe'. No doubt, I'll still be tapping it in the nursing home as the robonurse changes my colostomy bag? Yup. Cool as fuk

[@peopleforlife9958]

That is true for me as well.

[@user-hv6dv6wh7v]

Patrick Plitt No internet at all. No one will know the struggle. There was a show on TNT or TBS called Alternative Express. It was on like at 4:30am. I thought that and 120 were my windows to the world. I think bands and musicians actually had to have talent to get places back then. I think the internet has uncovered a lot of talented folks but I think it's made so many who might be talented lazy instead.

[@Astro41876]

I used to live in Southern California back in 1992 when this song came out. I was listening to the radio one day, while listening to KROQ the song starts to play. I was stunned when I heard it and loved it right away. When the song finishes the DJ never says who sings the song. I was like, wait, wait, who is this, who sings this song? I had to wait for the song to play some other time, so it does come on again and my ears perk up, there I am listening, the song finishes and they go to commercial announcements; i was like no, no, no, you cant do that, son of a b¡+¢h!!! I was pissed 😡 😡 😡, it took a some time for me to catch it playing again, so I hear it play again, then the moment I had waited for comes; the DJ says "that's Two Worlds Collide by Inspiral Carpets" i was like fu¢k yeah. After that for whatever reason i never heard it play again; a very underrated song. Now here on KZbin i can play it over and over, what a fantastic song, brings me back many memories of my teen years.

Bob Dobalina my man I'm 15, born in 01, and I know and have every song by this band, even their unreleased songs. U know, u guys give our generation a lot of shit these days, I mean, yeah we mostly addicted to social media and stuff these days, and there are some things that we are ashamed of bringing in. But we still aren't all terrible like u guys make us out to be. Geez, u also act like rock music is like an ancient passing to our generation when I bet u that there are just as many metal heads from our generation out there was in the past. You guys need to lay off all the hatred towards our generation...

[@ichhasseamerika]

@@arronjoseph8340 - The word 'hatred' is so misused these days , it's been hijacked by the politicly correct contingent to refer to any kind of criticism whatsoever towards a group. if you will notice, I said nothing hateful, I even said I feel sorry for you, because you don't seem to be able to create a music of your generation like we did ( 99% of all Hits produced today, are written and produced by four marketing teams, did you know that?). And I put it down to smartphone addiction. It really is a a dead and boring age now, as people become more and more isolateed by technology, lazy, uncreative, and inhuman (more like computers). Sorry for speaking clear text, I know the truth hurts sometimes , but it's not hatred. Technology is very seductive, and that's the way they (the powers that be) want it. It takes a very strong personality, strong soul to resist it. Be one of those strong souls. Best of luck. (And yes, "Mr Dobalina Mr Bob Dobalina", thats me! :)
