Steve Lamacq / Lost Alternatives 4CD

Journalist, broadcaster and DJ Steve Lamacq has curated a new ‘various artists’ 4CD deluxe set called Lost Alternatives, that pulls together tracks from the 1990’s UK indie scene.

The music in this set represents the “evolution of guitar music through the nineties” as told not by the big hits but by Evening Session cult favourites, limited edition singles and by some bands who simply never made it. Artists include the likes of Northside, Curve, Kitchens of Distinction, Voodoo Queens, Drugstore, Northern Uproar and Llama Farmers. There is also a peppering of slightly bigger names like Suede, Ride, The Charlatans, The Auteurs and Elastica.

In total there are 71 tracks and this set is pleasingly packaged as a 4CD ‘media book’ edition. It is released on 22 March 2019 via Edsel.
