A feisty 4CD clamshell box set exploring the melting pot of British indie dance music that shook the lager drenched dancefloors in the second half of the 1990s. A supersonic soundclash of iconic electronic outfits like The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, Leftfield, Death In Vegas, Moloko, Orbital and Bentley Rhythm Ace, alongside floor-fillers from indie titans like Blur, Shed Seven, Charlatans, Super Furry Animals, Supergrass, Tricky, Sleeper, Gomez, Radiohead and Cornershop. Over four hours of party tunes and afters grooves, packed with punchy remixes from Chemical Brothers, Arthur Baker, Norman Cook, Midfield General, Mint Royale and Lynch Mob. As Britpop exploded across UK culture, Cool Britannia ruled the airwaves and was plastered across the pages of magazines and newspapers. Music festivals were making their great comeback and DJs and dance acts were sharing stages and headline slots with the biggest guitar bands around. This compilation takes a slippery trip through the hedonistic tunes that were filling the dancefloors, fields, front rooms and bedrooms across Great Britain as the country drank, danced and partied towards a new millennium. Featuring over 50 cuts across 4CDs bouncing from Britpop to Trip Hop and bopping from Big Beat to Techno with a superb selection of relentless remixes, chart-topers and chilled beats thrown in for good measure. A bleary eyed stagger back down memory lane for anyone who left an important part of their brain somewhere in the 1990s, 'Going Out Of My Head' follows Cherry Red's popular 'Come Together' compilation which celebrated the Madchester/baggy scene and adventures from the indie dance crossover between 1989-1992
