Sounds Of The West Part Two: Punk To Avant Garde, New Wave, Straight Outa Bristol

synopsis

Explores Punk to Avant Garde, New Wave and Straight Outa Bristol with artists such as the Pop Group, Propellerheads, Massive Attack, Tricky and Portishead. Towns like Bristol have been manufacturing original oddballs since punk. Diverse styles have been its defining feature - mixing dub, techno and drum 'n' bass, along with funk, hardcore and smooth movie soundtracks displayed here. This is cutting-edge music that has always stood on its own terms. Sounds of the West 2 includes commentary by Phil Johnson
