Being regulars of the Boardwalk and Hacienda clubs had more of an influence on Paris Angels’ sound than the music they actually listened to.

Paris Angels signed to Sheer Joy records home of a disgruntled ex-Factory employee introduced Paris Angels to Michael Johnson (the man behind Blue Monday) and before you could say Moo to a Moog, Perfume was born; a new synthesis between 60’s jangle and full on disco.
It was Single of the Week in NME and stayed in the Top 10 of the Indie chart all summer long.

Perfume was closely followed by the tripped out Scope and clubbed up I Understand which was Single of the Week in the last ever edition of Sounds.

The South could smell a scene and snapped up all that there was to be had in Madchester, and Paris Angels being a 7 piece band unfortunately could not survive on a hand-to-mouth indie label, took the dollar and hence their own downfall.

Virgin Records released new single Fade and released Perfume to back up Paris Angels debut LP Sundew to rave reviews from the like of NME, Vox and Melody Maker.

    Saw them live in Wolverhampton in 92 or 93 (that uni year) and dragged loads of new friends along on the basis of Perfume. One of the worst gigs of my life, dirgy, depressing, crap. Then again it was at JBs and Radiohead were awful there too.

    everyone keeps talking about "Perfume", but the whole album "Sundew" is fantastic....

    underrated at the time, and Perfume still holds up as one of the classics.
