    All Music Guide Review

    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 sixth volume, released in early 1989, includes Front 242's "Headhunter," Loop's "Black Sun," the Wolfhounds' "Rent Act," A Guy Called Gerald's "Voodoo Ray," the Screaming Trees' "Tangiers," the Young Gods' "Pas Mal," and Spacemen 3's "Revolution." A couple of dance classics and a handful of knife-edged rock songs make this one of the better discs in the series. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
