2008 two CD collection. London Conversations is the first complete overview of St Etienne's catalog. It contains all the major hits from one the '90s most revered acts as well as two brand new tracks (Xenomanias 'Burnt Out Car' and the Richard X produced 'This Is Tomorrow'). Like most bands formed by former music journalists, Saint Etienne were a highly conceptual group. The trio's concept was to fuse the British Pop sounds of '60s London with the club/Dance rhythms and productions that defined the post-acid house England of the early '90s. Led by songwriters Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs, and fronted by vocalist Sarah Cracknell, the group managed to carry out their concept, and, in the process, Saint Etienne helped make indie dance a viable genre within the U.K. 35 tracks.
