Paris Angels were a seven-piece from Guide Bridge, Ashton-under-Lyne, on the edge of Manchester, and they arrived right in the thick of the Madchester boom. Paul "Wags" Wagstaff, Rikki Turner, Steven Tajti, Scott Carey, Mark Adj, Jayne Gill and Simon Worrall mashed indie guitars into electronic dance music, the sound of the moment done with real conviction.
"All On You (Perfume)", from 1990, is the one: a loping, loved-up groove with chiming guitars, a baggy beat and a hook that floats over the top like dry ice at the club. It sounds like a sweaty night out bleeding into the morning after. The band only lasted until 1992, but Wagstaff kept the party going, later turning up in Black Grape and the reformed Happy Mondays.
