This review is from: The Virgin Encyclopedia of Indie and New Wave (Virgin Encyclopedias of Popular Music Series) (Paperback)
This volume of Virgin's mamoth collection is the one they should have paid most attention, but unfortunately it is plagued with errors, to the point where I started to question if they checked the facts before the book went to print. Following the music scene in the 90s require a lot of energy because of the many trends that pop-up by the minute, hence I would consider this volume to be the most dauting task within the whole series.
