My late 80's/early 90's dance collection has been on heavy rotation in my downtime. Here are videos from two of the greats: The Happy Mondays and Nitzer Ebb!
Nothing really beats this live performance of "Join in the Chant" (1989). Actually creating these teutonic baselines while dressed in cut off muscle tees and combat boots is priceless. And the sea of men in their nazi-germany crew cuts is quite a scene. Douglas McCarthy's dancing at the end pretty much sums it up.
I was too young to actually remember when Paul Oakenfold was cool and part of the first Balearic movement in England - but thank you Paul Oakenfold for producing Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches by The Happy Mondays. I can't seem to track down this 12" version of "Bob's Yer Unkle" for less than $40 and it's a shame because I haven't heard a recording this sexy in a long time.
