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\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 1\u003cbr\u003e1 The Jesus and Mary Chain-You Trip Me Up\u003cbr\u003e2 Shop Assistants - I Don't Wanna Be Friends with You\u003cbr\u003e3 Rote Kapelle - These Animals Are Dangerous\u003cbr\u003e4 The Soup Dragons - Soft As Your Face\u003cbr\u003e5 The Motorcycle Boy - Big Rock Candy Mountain\u003cbr\u003e6 Primal Scream - Gentle Tuesday\u003cbr\u003e7 The Big Gun - Heard About Love\u003cbr\u003e8 The Thieves - Talk Your Head Off\u003cbr\u003e9 The Clouds - Get Out of My Dream\u003cbr\u003e10 Biff Bang Pow! - He Don't Need That Girl\u003cbr\u003e11 The Revolving Paint Dream - Stop the World\u003cbr\u003e12 The Jasmine Minks - Cut Me Deep\u003cbr\u003e13 Christine's Cat - She's Alive\u003cbr\u003e14 Baby Lemonade - Much Too Late\u003cbr\u003e15 The Golden Dawn - My Secret World\u003cbr\u003e16 The Vaselines - Teenage Superstar\u003cbr\u003e17 Dawson - Noel Edmonds\u003cbr\u003e18 Stretchheads - a Freakout\u003cbr\u003e19 Badgewearer - Buspass Conspiracy\u003cbr\u003e20 Spirea X - Chlorine Dream\u003cbr\u003e21 Fenn - Saint's Gate (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e22 The Fizzbombs - Blue Summer\u003cbr\u003e23 The Hardy Boys - Wonderful Lie\u003cbr\u003e24 Whiteout - the Next Big Thing\u003cbr\u003e25 The Vultures - You're Not Scared\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 2\u003cbr\u003e1 The Orchids - Something for the Longing\u003cbr\u003e2 The Wendys - Enjoy the Things You Fear\u003cbr\u003e3 Pearlfishers - Sacred\u003cbr\u003e4 BMX Bandits - Serious Drugs\u003cbr\u003e5 Superstar - Don't Wanna Die\u003cbr\u003e6 Long Fin Killie - the Lamberton Lamplighter\u003cbr\u003e7 Whirling Pig Dervish - Whip\u003cbr\u003e8 The Stanleys - Royal Blue\u003cbr\u003e9 Lung Leg - Punk Pop Travesty\u003cbr\u003e10 Glue - Modelling\u003cbr\u003e11 Spare Snare - Wired for Sound\u003cbr\u003e12 Pink Kross - Punk Outfit\u003cbr\u003e13 Lugworm - Sweaty Says\u003cbr\u003e14 The Blisters - Patrick Meets the Courgettes\u003cbr\u003e15 Trout - Owl in the Tree\u003cbr\u003e16 The Yummy Fur - Typical of Boys\u003cbr\u003e17 The Poison Sisters - Chicane\u003cbr\u003e18 Hee Haw - 6\/26\u003cbr\u003e19 Sally Skull - Bride of Frankenstein\u003cbr\u003e20 The Luci Baines Band - Find a Lil Love (Extended)\u003cbr\u003e21 Eska - Running on Sum Six Dew\u003cbr\u003e22 Country Teasers - Last Bridge of Spencer Smith\u003cbr\u003e23 Nostril - Token Song About Foreign Politics\u003cbr\u003e24 Dick Johnson - Disposable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 3\u003cbr\u003e1 Arab Strap - the First Big Weekend\u003cbr\u003e2 The Delgados - Monica Webster\u003cbr\u003e3 Bis - Keroleen\u003cbr\u003e4 Frank Blake - Plastic Bag\u003cbr\u003e5 Belle and Sebastian - Lazy Line Painter Jane\u003cbr\u003e6 Urusei Yatsura - Hello Tiger\u003cbr\u003e7 The Male Nurse - My Own Private P.
