Great list! Some of these I don’t know off the top of my head…

It’s mostly indie/britpop tracks that everybody in the UK will have heard. A lot of the bands weren’t well known outside the UK.

Callum (from Scotland) gave me some Primal Scream albums a few years ago and they were great. That’s a band that I hadn’t heard of until I came to China. A couple others on the list you provided don’t ring a bell but I will download them.

Screamadelica is a great album. Produced by the mighty Andrew Weatherall. If you’ve got a couple of hours to spare then check out his RBMA Lecture.

A lot of indie bands at the time were into the acid house movement and enlisted the help of top electronic producers. An example, The Happy Mondays got Paul Oakenfold to produce Pills, Thrills & Bellyaches.

Another few for the UK 90s crew

Inspiral Carpets – This is how it feels

Carter and the Unstoppable Sex Machine – Sheriff Fatman

The Shamen – Ebeneezer Good*

The KLF** – 3am Eternal

The Prodigy – So many off their first 2 albums (I still play Break & Enter out every now and again)

* Mr. C was in the Shamen. There was quite a bit of controversy about this track at the time for its obvious drug references. On top of the pops shouting “E’s are good” and “Has anybody got any Veras?” Veras = cockney Rhyming slang for skins.

** Check out their wikipedia. Mad f#ckers burned 1,000,000 pounds in cash.
