In the early '90s, a number of bands exploring the daring side of guitar pop and rock started to emerge in the UK. Most were new, some included members of '80s groups looking for new directions. They were supported by established independent labels such as Rough Trade and 4AD/Guernica and new ventures like Too Pure or Domino. Influenced by the legacy of post-punk, minimalism, '70s art rock and a growing electronic scene, their first releases were enthusiastically received by the media. this 2LP set compiles a number of tracks from that era.
