You need to be yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about\u2026\u201d On the other end of the line a few years ago, Brett Anderson is pausing for a moment to find precisely the right words before he decides what the excellent 1992 debut single by his group Suede is in fact about.<\/p>\n

After some more consideration, and locating the words, he returns. \u201cThe Drowners\u201d, he says thoughtfully, \u201cis about \u2026rolling around in acres of engorged flesh.\u201d<\/p>\n

As you\u2019ll read in this latest Ultimate Record Collection<\/a>, the great British records of the 1990s can be about this \u2013 but also about much more besides. Ane even if times have changed many of the key British bands of the decade \u2013 Oasis, Pulp, Suede, My Bloody Valentine \u2013 are enjoying a period of renewed creative strength and popularity.<\/p>\n

Obviously the headlines have recently been dominated by the successes of the Oasis Live \u201925 tour. Elsewhere, Suede and Pulp have recently made impressive new albums. Meanwhile, recordings by other key artists Primal Scream, Radiohead, Massive Attack, Portishead \u2013 remain as important and influential as ever. In this new magazine, Uncut\u2019s team of experts have compiled the 200 best albums and singles to make sure you don\u2019t miss any of them.<\/p>\n

What is it which keeps this music so relevant? In the case of Oasis, it could well be because it\u2019s an impossible proposition to deny: a feel-good story of reconciliation, told in uplifting music which celebrates the good times. With Suede and especially with Pulp\u2019s new album More<\/strong><\/em>, we\u2019re celebrating the return of beloved bands \u2013 whose work has evolved and grown in nuance with the times.<\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s something even more obvious: the commitment we hear in the music. These were bands for the most part at the start of their careers, concerned with nothing beyond perfecting their vision. For Pulp, it led the band to march into their record company to petition for the immediate release of \u201cCommon People\u201d. For Oasis it meant fulfilling the dreams of stardom planted in them by The Stone Roses and The La\u2019s. For Suede, it meant defining themselves by the very opposite of success.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a sort of celebration of a drifting, stonery, specifically British lifestyle,\u201d Brett Anderson told me on the phone, \u201cwandering about roundabouts. It was saying \u2018This is how I live, and I\u2019m proud of it.\u2019 I won\u2019t join the rat race.\u00a0 I won\u2019t be a puppet to advertising. I won\u2019t buy into what society tells me to buy into. There\u2019s something quite pure and quite beautiful about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enjoy the magazine. It\u2019s in shops today, but you can get one from us here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
