In the absence of a proper compilation…
I would love to put together a compilation of what I consider to be the best new msuic coming out of Scotland. In the absence of this, though, I created a 50-track imix and put it up on iTunes. Seven tracks didn’t make it through, for whatever reason, but the ‘new music out of scotland’ playlist highlights stuff from Song, By Toad Records, Armellodie, Chemikal Underground and 17 Seconds Records.
Doubtless I will be left kicking myself about some of those I missed but hope someone out there likes it:
Oh, and I did make sure that it wasn’t just indie acts or bands from the central belt, too…here’s a visual taster!
Excellent list; what were the ones which didn’t make it?
Randan Discotheque -’Daily Record May 18 1993′
Mitchell Museum -’Tiger Heartbeat’
Kode 9 -’Bad’
Stanley Odd -’The Numbness’
There Will Be Fireworks -’Foreign Thoughts’
Seventeenth Century -’Mid October’
How To Swim -’Genesis P and Me’
Particularly frustrating about Kode 9 and Stanley Odd as I was trying to show that there is definitely more to scottish music than indie.
Ah well…
