Northern Picture Library - Love Song For the Dead Che #1

Northern Picture Library emerged from the ashes of The Field Mice and this track dates from about 1994. Later Field Mice tracks, particularly 'Missing the Moon' revealed an interest in dance music that continued with Northern Picture Library and, as such, 'Love Song For The Dead Che #1' can be regarded as a collision between nineties twee pop and trip hop. Absolute genius.

Flinch: Skin Deep

A nice slice of mid 1990s indie. Flinch were fronted by singer/bassist Grog and were quite ubiquitous on the Peel Show, Evening Session and in the pages of the NME in the mid 1990s. They also featured on the UK festival circuit around 1994/1995 but, despite all of that, never quite made it.

'Skin Deep' was one of their strongest, and most abrasive, singles.

The Family Cat - Bring Me the Head of Michael Portillo

A lost gem of mid 1990s indie agit prop.

It was subject to a government ban in 1994 and, as such, never achieved it's true state of the nation anthem potential.

A shame.
