When the NME released its now-legendary \"C86\" cassette in 1986, Scottish music featured prominently, setting the tone for two decades of brilliant and eclectic music. From the noise-pop of The Jesus And Mary Chain to the laid-back retro cool of Primal Scream, via the kawaii style of Bis and the sophisticated pop of Belle And Sebastian, through to the dark post-rock of Arab Strap and the eclectic melting-pot of The Beta Band, \"Something For The Longing\" offers a snapshot of that time and place.Arranged chronologically, this compilation tells the story of familiar faces, mythical figures of the music scene, genuine rock legends, unique labels and, above all, the inventive musical exploits of a nation that shines far beyond its size. With introductory text and band member biographies written by curator Grant McPhee, archive images and a handful of previously unreleased recordings provided specially by the artists, 'Something For The Longing' is a must-have for fans and collectors of the 80s and 90s indie scenes, everyone who was there at the time, and the Caledophile in your life.","brand":"Multi-artistes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57489917411672,"sku":null,"price":23872943.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/multi-artistes_scottish-independent-pop-1985-1999_2026_soc","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
