Indie Top 20, Volume 12 (TT012CD/CD) (1991)

Back to a more mystical collection of material, compared to Volume 10's Aceed orientation. Spacemen 3's 'Big City' is a masterpiece of drama, with emotion squeezed out of every note and vocal pause; straightforward bubbly pop from St. Etienne, with 'Nothing Can Stop Us'; a 3 in 1 song from Manic Street Preachers; gtrs. mangled, amidst pop normality, on 'Jack' by Moose. Disappointing trax from Charlatans and N.F.A. Daffs.
