Originally named Warsaw, the band consisted of singer Ian Curtis, guitarist and keyboardist Bernard Sumner, bass player Peter Hook, and drummer Stephen Morris., Madchester is a broad genre label popularized by the British music press in the early 1990s, referring to the music scene that developed in the Manchester area towards the late 1980s and into the early 1990s. The music that emerged from the scene mixed alternative rock, psychedelic rock and electronic dance music. Artists associated with the scene included the Happy Mondays, the Stone Roses, the Inspiral Carpets, Northside, 808 State, James and The Charlatans, amongst others. At that time, the Haçienda nightclub, co-owned by members of New Order, was a major catalyst for the distinctive musical ethos in the city that was called the Second Summer of Love.

Like the label 4AD Records, Factory Records used a creative team (most notably record producer Martin Hannett and graphic designer Peter Saville) which gave the label and the artists recording for it a particular sound and image. The label employed a unique cataloguing system that gave a number not just to its musical releases, but to artwork and other objects, as well., Michael Winterbottom (born 29 March 1961) is an English filmmaker.

In this instance, the word "alternative" refers to the genre's distinction from mainstream rock music. The term's original meaning was broader, referring to a generation of musicians unified by their collective debt to either the musical style or simply the independent, D.I.Y. ethos of punk rock, which in the late 1970s laid the groundwork for alternative music. At times, "alternative" has been used as a catch-all description for music from underground rock artists that receives mainstream recognition, or for any music, whether rock or not, that is seen to be descended from punk rock (including some examples of punk itself, as well as new wave, and post-punk)., Electronic dance music (also known as EDM, dance music, club music, or simply dance) is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres made largely for nightclubs, raves, and festivals.

EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting in what is sometimes called a live PA. In the United Kingdom and in continental Europe, EDM is more commonly called 'dance music' or simply 'dance'. , Shaun William George Ryder (born 23 August 1962) is an English musician, singer-songwriter, actor, television personality, author, and newspaper columnist.

According to a commentary accompanying the film 24 Hour Party People , the first verse of `` Tart Tart '' is about Martin Hannett , who later produced the band 's second album Bummed . The second verse is taken from Bez 's `` Freaky Dancin ' '' ( p. 198 - 200 ) : ' Tart Tart ' was the single that was going to make us massive . It was a personal favourite of mine an I was counfounded as to why it did n't do better than it did . It was met with pretty decent reviews , but maybe the public needed a little longer to acquire the taste for X 's growling , cryptic lyrics and the rawness of the musical accompaniment . I had a special affinity for the tune because of the references to one of the very first people we had met in the early Haçienda days . Her name was Tart Tart . She was a strange type of woman , an old groupie from the 60s , something she was n't adverse to admitting . The drug culture of the hippie era had n't treated her too well an she was looking pretty rough an haggard by the time she met me an X , but we liked her friendly disposition an slightly kooky ways . She looked upon herself as an abstract artist but I think her main way of carving a living was by wheeling an dealing on the darker side of life . The first time we came across each other , me an X were sporting freshly barbered skinheads an were bobbin an weaving about the club in our usual fashion , up to no good . She told us a spooky little tale of how a few months earlier she 'd painted a picture of two young skinheads in The Haçienda , an had n't known why the image had taken over her canvas at the time . It transpired that our meeting crystallized the meaning of the painting for her : she took it as fate that she was destined to take us an the rest of the band into her life . She did so willingly an often laid drugs on the lads in times when money was short . One weekend we 'd called by as usual to pick up a bag of goodies , promising to pay up on the following Monday . She was happy with the set - up and we went away thinking no more of it , but the chilling reality of the situation was that we were never going to get to pay her the debt . On returning with the dough a few days later , there was no reply at the door . We went back a few times over the next couple of days but again there was no response . Eventually , another friend of ours went round an forced the door . Everyone was starting to get a little anxious by now as she had n't contacted anyone for some time . He found her dead at the bottom of the stairs . She 'd died of a brain tumour an was black an blue from throwing herself around , smashing her head on the walls an ultimately down the stair in a desperate attempt to stop the pain an agony . The police assumed they had a murder case on their hands because of the extent of her bodily injured an even dragged the lad who 'd found her off for an interview as prime suspect . Obviously , the postmortem put the record straight . Her sudden an lonely death was a shock for the band as we 'd all come to look upon her as a special an unusual friend . Her death gave rise to the immortal lines in the song : Now T T , she laid it on , An a few days later she 's gone , So it 's back to the womb , To get drowned , drowned , drowned , drowned , drowned ... The poignant reality of the words touched me , they meant so much , like I found most of the lyrics in those days did . They were all taken from our collective life experiences , with X effortlessly shaping the form of the language to fit the tunes . To me they were classic words that spoke volumes about the times we were living in . This popular song was voted ' Britain 's Most Loved ' single of the year in 1987 . The B - side , `` Little Matchstick Owen 's Rap '' was voiced by the sound engineer , Mike Bleach ., John Davies Cale, OBE (born 9 March 1942) is a Welsh musician, composer, singer-songwriter and record producer who was a founding member of the American experimental rock band the Velvet Underground., Inspiral Carpets are an English alternative rock band, formed in 1983 in Oldham, Greater Manchester.
