Jon Savage, who wrote England's Dreaming, has spent recent years building compilations around specific turns in British pop history, and this one covers 1986 to 1990, the stretch where indie guitar bands ran straight into dance music and acid house. The Madchester end of it, the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, sits next to American noise and indie acts like Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr., plus club records from S'Express, M/A/R/R/S, and the Pet Shop Boys. It's less a victory lap than a map of a genuinely confusing four years.
