Paris Angels - Perfume (All On You)



It's the Champions League Final tonight between Barcelona and Manchester United. It's the biggest game in club football and with probably the best two teams in Europe coming together it will hopefully be a cracker. So even though my footballing allegience lies in the 'blue' corner of Manchester as a tribute to United's achievement I'll be posting some great music from that city and surrounding areas.

-----------------------

One of my favourite records from the 'Madchester' scene was Perfume by Paris Angels. Released in 1990 on Sheer Joy records it was voted 'Single Of The Week' in NME.

Dave Clarke - No One's Driving


I really don't know much about techno music so it's a bit of a surprise to see this single in my collection. Yet another purchase from WH Smiths bargain bin I probably paid the 50p for this single solely because of the Chemical Brothers mix on the b-side. I'm glad I did though as this is a cracking piece of music from the man dubbed 'the Baron of Techno' by the legendary John Peel.
