Inspiral Carpets - 'Life'

added 02 July 2009 at 14.34

Our very own Clint Boon and a sure-fire baggy classic. Boon Army!

Xfm's very own Clint Boon was responsible for this Manchester classic, the first proper full length outing from the Oldham five piece. Mr Boon's distinctive Farfisa organ powers through a selection of great tracks, including the peerless 'This Is How It Feels'. But let's not forget 'She Comes In The Fall', 'Directing Traffik' and the sleazy story of the Mancunian underbelly, 'Sackville'.
Top tune: 'This Is How It Feels'
