Spiritualized - Independent Top 20
The Independent Top 20 is a collection of songs that were thought to be important in the Independent music theme. It's interesting that the 20th volume of this collection, done in 1993, featured both Spectrum and Spiritualized. These are two halves of the band Spacemen 3 which ended in 1991. It shows just how influential band members Peter Kember and Jason Pierce were, that both of their new bands made it into this collection.
Of course there are other artists on here too. You've got Suede and Stereolab, Verve and Belly and the Smashing Pumpkins. It's an interesting mix of sounds and songs, of styles that were soon to draw great attention.
Sure, you could say that you won't necessarily like every single song, since they come from a variety of bands. That's fine! You get glimpses into bands you might never have heard about otherwise, and some of these are fairly rare.
Well recommended for fans of these bands.
