Tracing The Evolution Of The Scottish Indie Scene, From The Mid-80s Exploits Of The C86 Scene, Through Belshill And Into The Late 1990s Via Chemikal Underground And Fife's Diy Movement. Packed With Household Names, Essential Cuts, Underground Legends, Lesser-Known Indie Gems And Four Previously Unreleased Tracks. Complete With Archival Imagery, Band Biographies And Grant McPhee's Insightful First-Hand Account. Following it's blossoming in the post-punk era, by the mid-80s, the Scottish indie scene had become a sprawling, glorious network of bands, fanzines, club nights and record shops. When the NME issued it's now-mythic 'C86' cassette in 1986, Scottish music featured heavily, setting the tone for a couple of decades of brilliant and eclectic music. From the noise-pop of The Jesus And Mary Chain and the effortless retro cool of Primal Scream, through the kawaii stylings of Bis and the sophisticated pop of Belle And Sebastian, to the dour post rock of Arab Strap and the melting pot eclecticism of The Beta Band, 'Something For The Longing' pulls together a snapshot of that time and place. Compiled chronologically, this is a story whose narrative takes in familiar faces, mythical scenesters, bona fide rock gods, singularly minded labels and, above all, the inventive musical exploits of a nation punching well above it's weight. Complete with a sleevenote essay and band biographies by curator Grant McPhee, archival imagery and a handful of unreleased recordings provided especially by the artists, 'Something For The Longing' is a must-hear for fans and collectors of the '80s and '90s indie scenes, anybody who was there and then, and the Caledophile in your life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Jesus and Mary Chain-You Trip Me Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShop Assistants - I Don't Wanna Be Friends with You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRote Kapelle - These Animals Are Dangerous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Soup Dragons - Soft As Your Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Motorcycle Boy - Big Rock Candy Mountain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimal Scream - Gentle Tuesday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Big Gun - Heard About Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Thieves - Talk Your Head Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Clouds - Get Out of My Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiff Bang Pow! - He Don't Need That Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Revolving Paint Dream - Stop the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Jasmine Minks - Cut Me Deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristine's Cat - She's Alive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby Lemonade - Much Too Late\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Golden Dawn - My Secret World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Vaselines - Teenage Superstar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDawson - Noel Edmonds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStretchheads - a Freakout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBadgewearer - Buspass Conspiracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpirea X - Chlorine Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFenn - Saint's Gate (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fizzbombs - Blue Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hardy Boys - Wonderful Lie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhiteout - the Next Big Thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Vultures - You're Not Scared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Orchids - Something for the Longing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wendys - Enjoy the Things You Fear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePearlfishers - Sacred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMX Bandits - Serious Drugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperstar - Don't Wanna Die\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Fin Killie - the Lamberton Lamplighter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhirling Pig Dervish - Whip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Stanleys - Royal Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLung Leg - Punk Pop Travesty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlue - Modelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpare Snare - Wired for Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePink Kross - Punk Outfit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLugworm - Sweaty Says\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Blisters - Patrick Meets the Courgettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrout - Owl in the Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Yummy Fur - Typical of Boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Poison Sisters - Chicane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHee Haw - 6\/26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSally Skull - Bride of Frankenstein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Luci Baines Band - Find a Lil Love (Extended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEska - Running on Sum Six Dew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry Teasers - Last Bridge of Spencer Smith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNostril - Token Song About Foreign Politics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDick Johnson - Disposable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArab Strap - the First Big Weekend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Delgados - Monica Webster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBis - Keroleen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrank Blake - Plastic Bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelle and Sebastian - Lazy Line Painter Jane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUrusei Yatsura - Hello Tiger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Male Nurse - My Own Private P.
