Each volume in Beechwood's Melody Maker-sponsored Indie Top 20 series acts as a fairly adequate time capsule of U.K. indie music. Initiated in 1987 and put to rest in 1996, the 23 volumes act as a more-discerning English equivalent of the monthly Certain Damage samplers that came with CMJ (College Music Journal) in the U.S. And since the U.K. definition of "indie" has a wider scope, this series has much more stylistic variety. The 13th volume of the series, released in 1991, includes Slowdive's "Catch the Breeze," Moose's "Suzanne," Chapterhouse's "Precious One," the Telescopes' "Flying," Spiritualized's "Run," and Smashing Pumpkins' "Siva." A shoegazer's delight, to the dismay of those who avoid blurry guitars and sighed vocals like the plague. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
