'90s Music Monday - Flowered Up

This is one of those "thanks to the Internet" things but until a month or so ago I'd never seen this video, despite it coming out fifteen years ago. Weekender, you see, was a classic of the early 90s, an epic indie/dance hybrid documenting the ups and downs of a weekend's rave.

The short film was directed by Wiz, who went on to produce videos for the Chemical Brothers, and it wasn't unreasonable to call it that; like the track, it runs for a good quarter of an hour. While it was early in his career, though, it marked the end of Flowered Up's career, after a lone album and a few singles. What a glorious swansong.

As I said, although I'd heard of the video ages ago, it was never shown on TV (or at least, never whilst I was watching), and it took a while to show up online (although I'd heard the track a few times, mainly in the evenings on Radio 1; Annie Nightingale loved the track and played it regularly, including it on a rather good compliation album). However, now someone's digitised it, and so I can share it with you all. Enjoy.
