Not British...Scottish!Originally Posted by the little audio company
I'm not sure you want to ask that question, the list is huge!!
One thing I like about BoC is that they're British - it's nice for something so awesome to be something home grown, rather than the usual American or whatever.
Great band, been into 'em for a while.
Also check out Mogwai, Royksopp and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

I was very careful about that, and I was technically correct - but I couldn't say "homegrown" and then say they were Scottish, is I'd have been lyingNot British...Scottish!

Royksopp are a one hit wonder for me with regards to albums. Melody A.M. was brilliant. Then it all fell apart. Saw Mogwai last year on the Atomic tour. Not heard of your last recommendation.
