Inside the Milky Way - A Look at Early Alternative Music

Happy Mondays became one of the pioneering artists of the Madchester scene fusing indie rock, funk, psychedelia and acid house music to create a unique sound associated with this rave club cultural movement.
The band's second studio album, Bummed of 1988, and the follow-up, Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches of 1990, were two signature albums of the Madchester era.
This episode tells the story of the early years of Happy Mondays from their formation through the music of the band's first three studio albums.
