This 4-CD set, The Brit Box: U.K. Indie, Shoegaze, and Brit-Pop Gems of the Last Millennium, gathers key recordings from the hip wave of U.K. bands that followed in the wake of '80s post-punk. The 78 featured performers include the Smiths, the Cure, Cocteau Twins, Pulp, Oasis, and Stereolab.

New York Times

[This compilation] includes obscure but justly beloved forebears (Felt, Shop Assistants), mainstream juggernauts (like Oasis, above, and Blur; without them this box probably wouldn’t exist) and plenty of bands that seized the British spotlight... Kelefa Sanneh

Pitchfork

The Brit Box comes housed in a package made to look like a typical English phone booth -- complete with a battery-powered flickering lightbulb. Also noteworthy, but not nearly as cool as the miracle of electricity: an 80-page booklet bursting at the seams with photos, interviews, essays, and memories from the likes of Creation's Alan McGee, producers Stephen Street and Alan Moulder, and numerous Brit Box artists.
