Manchester's new music scene (1990)

Moved to Manchester in '89 from a scene in Dublin that was all about 80s metal bands & U2. Manchester opened my eyes, ears & heart to real music, the people and sound just grooved. This has stayed with me all these years.

I was living in a boring Los Angeles suburb back in those days, and I remember buying the first Stone Roses LP. All my friends thought it was crap, but I loved it.

Definitely Manchester's moment in the sun despite having a strong history in music culture before that only behind London and Liverpool. Even in London at that time you could almost feel the heart of the vibe behind that whole period was far away in Manchester.

The problem is, we're all too "connected" via the internet at this point so we don't need to flock anywhere to find unity. Not to mention I can't imagine what sort of revolutionary new sound could come about. Electronica has been spent, and what could come next? Let's face it, we peaked musically in the 90's.
