About this product

Three CD set. 1992 saw the British indie scene unwittingly poised to go overground and global in the wake of the guitar's revival in the early 1990s. 'C92' captures something of a no-man's land moment in time, with the InchbaggyInch scene brushed aside by American grunge and the artists who'd come to define the rest of the decade only beginning to emerge. From the intensity of shoegaze pioneers Ride and rich, through to melody-driven 60s revivalists Inspiral Carpets and The Stairs, in hindsight the year can be seen as a period of healthy transition and expansion which ultimately saw the scene pulled together by the music media under the umbrella term InchBritpopInch. Established names such as The Charlatans and Boo Radleys glided effortlessly over the landscape re-alignment, whilst soon-to-be household names like Radiohead and The Cranberries took their first tentative steps into a bigger world, enjoying the license to pursue their artistic persuasions with the luxury of major tag financial backing. A sea change was clearly coming. Essential for collectors of the 'C' series, fans of that time and place and anybody interested in the ongoing, mazy story of British pop music, 'C92' brings with it familiar favorites and previously unknown gems, to sit alongside other titles in the series. Album Tracks 1. Radiohead - Prove Yourself 2. The Auteurs - Showgirl 3. Delicious Monster - Dull Dull Dull 4. Ride - Leave Them All Behind 5. Gallon Drunk - Bedlam 6. Swallow - Tastes Like Honey 7. Blind Mr Jones - Fading Fast 8. Adorable - Homeboy 9. Earwig - Safe in My Hands 10. Huggy Bear - Single Bullets 11. Jacob's Mouse - Oblong 12. Kinky Machine - Going Out with God 13. White Town - Bewitched 14. Wonky Alice - Sirius 15. Moonshake - Secondhand Clothes 16. Swirl - Grass Harps (Sing for Me) 17. Some Have Fins - Watered Down 18. The Last Peach

Three CDs. The Latest In The Hugely Successful 'C' Series, Riffing On The Original 'C86' Cassette. Follows Previous Best-Selling Collections C86 (2014), C87 (2016), C88 (2017), C89 (2018) And C90 (2020). 59 Tracks Charting The Ongoing Rise To Dominance Of The Independent Music Scene, As Once Shoestring Artists And Labels Began To Find Themselves Embraced By The Mainstream. Packed With Well-Known Favourites - The Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers, Dodgy, Saint Etienne, The Cranberries, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Northside, Etc - Alongside Underground And Cult Independent Heroes - Sultans Of Ping Fc, Chapterhouse, Kingmaker, The Stairs, Flowered Up, Levitation And Many, Many More.

Having successfully crossed over from the bedsit to the mainstream throughout 1989 and 1990, independent artists quickly began to dominate the British musical landscape, bringing an authentic new energy to a stagnant, Thatcherite pop scene. 1991 saw countless indie artists score hit singles and albums as the scene continued to mutate and adapt regionally, politically and aesthetically - from Manic Street Preachers' urgent, punk-infused anthems and the outer edges of shoegaze and psychedelic songcraft offered by Chapterhouse and Levitation, through to the dancefloor friendly adventures of Flowered Up and St Etienne, the art-school informed Kingmaker and established baggy favourites The Charlatans, 1991 offered up the broadest and richest smorgasbord of accessible, street-level artists the UK's youth had known in a decade. 'C91' is a snapshot of that time and place, bringing together the cream of the 1991 independent landscape and offering a rollercoaster of hits, near-misses and curiosities al
