HMMMMMMMMM

 

[muffin]

how much do i want this??

very very much..

 

[rampz]

its a bit incongruous but theres a lot of gems on there. reminds me of those 80s box sets you can pick up for cheap.

 

[Lili Marlene]

This one is coming out on Rhino so it'll be quality packaging.

 

[muffin]

when is it actually out?

 

[Lili Marlene]

Not till October i'm afraid

 

[Mormon Nailer]

No Wedding present!

 

[muffin]

ahh thats shite..

 

[clonan attack]

no radiohead?

oh yeah they're alternative!ninjaaaa

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Orange Juice
Blue Aeroplanes

 

[Lili Marlene]

Orange Juice
Blue Aeroplanes

I would say that what most people consider Orange Juice's best period is beyond the scope of this box, it seems to start with C86 bands rather than C81, if such groupings exist.

The same way the few years after britpop but before the strokes aren't covered, it stops around around 1997/98.

What IS missing is that Me Me Me single which I think would really be essential to disc 4!

 

[muffin]

'he said, he said what do you do?..he said talk about thing...'

rightly or wrongly this song and the supernaturals remind me of being a teeenager..

 

[Mormon Nailer]

True but they still find room for Felt. A bit of OJ at the start would have put a bit of context on it.

 

[rampz]

also theres no field mice or wolfhounds or vaselines which are notable omissions. maybe therell be a part 2.

and, on disc 4 wheres gene. they were great.

 

[Stan Bowles]

No Adorable either. Good to see five thirty on there though.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Hell I don't wanna defend it, where are the Warmjets?? They supported Blur, they could have been huge, number 33 with a bullet!

No Kenickie!!!!!!!!!!7 maybe they come after


edit: No wildhearts, they've really been written out of history but were at their best (and most popular) in this time period

 

[Wilbert]

Thats a pretty random Blur track to put on there. I would have gone for End Of A Century off Parklife.

But then, who am I?

 

[Unicron]

I said to myself when I saw this thread that if it didn't have slight return on it then it was shite.

It now has my seal of approval.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I'm quite happy they have a Rialto song in there,

NOTHING BY SPACE THOUGH, although i dunno if Space had any fans

one of my mates was a big space fan...she is no longer my friend..not for this reason though..although it may have played a part..
