"This epic companion compilation to photographer Kevin Cummins' recent Britpop book attempts to retell the story by focusing on the more esoteric corners of the era's indie guitar scene. Quibbles about widening the definition of Britpop aside (...), there are worthy rare curios from the big hitters (Pulp's acoustic "Razzmatazz", Suede's sublime "He's Dead"), forgotten gems /Lush, Longpigs) and light shone on some acts that deserve re-evaluation (Huggy Bear, The Auteurs, The Aloof)".
