Steve Lamacq: Lost Alternatives (4-CD)

by Various Artists

UK four CD collection. Acclaimed BBC 6 Music radio DJ and former NME journalist, Steve Lamacq celebrates 25 years of broadcasting at the BBC with the release of this unique compilation. 71 curated tracks from the 1990s by the UK's leading Indie tastemaker. This compilation includes music not found on any streaming service. "Most alternative music lived underground. It made a lot of noise, but no-one in the mainstream could hear it. The '90s would see it go so much further than many of us expected. It wasn't just the popularity of alternative music which would change; the music was constantly reinventing itself too, sucking in influences from different genres and different eras." Includes tracks from Ride, The Charlatans, Kitchens Of Distinction, Suede, Teenage Fanclub, Cornershop, Bis, Rialto, Mansun, Ash, The Bluetones, and many others.
