Our Take

Step aside, lads and lasses, because Big Gold Dreams - A Story Of Scottish Independent Music 1977-1989 is here to transport you to a time when synthesizers and tartan ruled the music scene. This compilation is a treasure trove of forgotten gems from Scotland's vibrant underground scene, showcasing the eclectic sounds that were bubbling beneath the surface during the late 70s and 80s. From jangly indie pop to brooding post-punk, this album has something for everyone, providing a snapshot of a musical landscape that was as diverse as it was innovative. The tracks on Big Gold Dreams are like a time machine, whisking you away to smoky clubs and DIY recording studios where bands were pushing boundaries and forging their own paths. With standout tracks from iconic acts like The Jesus And Mary Chain, The Pastels, and Orange Juice, this compilation is a crash course in Scottish indie history. So grab your kilt and prepare to be swept away by the infectious energy and DIY spirit of Big Gold Dreams. It's a musical journey that you won't soon forget. Cheers to the Scottish music scene for giving us something truly special to sink our teeth into.
