Please note, some Mute issues also carry an EMI logo. This is not a label and EMI should not be added as a label, it instead indicates that Mute was part of the EMI Group.

Founded in 1978 by [a=Daniel Miller], Mute (also known as [l36339]) releases various forms of music, with an emphasis on electronic and experimental pop. In May 2002 the label was acquired by the [l=EMI Group]. In 2010 Miller did an agreement with EMI to handle Mute as an independent label again, licensing the trademark from EMI via his company [l=Mute Artists Ltd.], but EMI kept the rights over Mute's back catalogue. After the EMI Group was dissolved, in 2012 [l206061] acquired [l636]'s back catalogue.

Branch offices exist in Germany ([l168349]) and in North America ([l36296]). 

Mute has spawned many regional and special-interest sublabels, some of which are still active. One offshoot, [l=Parallel Series], even became independent of [l636] Mute also operates Mute Bank Mail Order, which sells the label's merchandise directly to consumers. Mute Bank published two issues of [i]Mute Statement[/i], a softcover book that details the entire discography of the label and includes band profiles and photos of release artwork.

Another label strongly associated with Mute is [l=Toast Hawaii], run by [a=Depeche Mode]'s [a=Andrew Fletcher].

Inspiral Carpets are an English alternative rock band that formed in 1983 in Oldham, Greater Manchester. With their unique blend of psychedelic and indie rock, they quickly gained a loyal following and became one of the most influential bands of the Madchester scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The band's distinctive sound is characterized by catchy melodies, jangly guitars, and organ-driven hooks. Their energetic live performances and infectious songs such as "This Is How It Feels" and "Saturn 5" have made them a favorite among music lovers worldwide.
Over the years, Inspiral Carpets have released numerous critically acclaimed albums and singles, establishing themselves as pioneers of the alternative rock genre. With their enduring popularity and timeless music, they continue to inspire new generations of musicians and fans alike.

Formed in Oldham in 1980, rose to prominence alongside such bands as The Stone Roses, The Charlatans and The Happy Mondays, as part of the Madchester scene in the late 80s / early 90s. They have released five studio albums; Life (1990), The Beast Inside (1991), Revenge of the Goldfish (1992), Devil Hopping (1994) and Inspiral Carpets (2014), achieving four UK Top 20 Albums and UK Top 20 Singles. Their biggest singles include ‘This Is How It Feels’, ‘She Comes In The Fall’, ‘Saturn 5’, ‘I Want You’ and ‘Dragging Me Down’.
