Despite buying both Stone Roses albums and a variety of the Primal Scream records he contributed to, I have to confess I knew very little about Gary Mounfield. Fortunately, I knew when it came to eulogising him that Swiss Adam would do a top job.
There's not much more I can add, except that when you think about the Stone Roses sound, so much of it clearly comes from the basslines. That must make Mani more important than a lot of bass players. Others will doubtless express that better than I can.
It's not a Stone Roses track I've chosen today though, it's this: one of my favourites from Primal Scream... and a tune very unlike the kind of thing I usually go for. Back in 1997 though, I was rather obsessed with it. And I reckon that's all down to Mani...
