Way Out West - the Bristol Underground

on BBC Radio 2

2/4. A decade on from the seminal pop releases of Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky, a reassessment of the importance of these albums which defined an inspired flourish in inner-city Bristol's music history.

David Quantick continues a look at the Bristol sound's evolution with a reminder of some of the relevant milestones of the 80s, including the nihilism of the Pop Group, the funk of Pigbag and Rip, Rig and Panic, and reggae and hip-hop.
