2 Nine Black Alps - 'Unsatisfied'
3 Oasis - 'The Importance Of Being Idle'
4 Doves - 'Black And White Town'
5 Lovefreekz - 'Shine'

7 Happy Mondays - 'Playground Superstar'
8 Ian Brown - 'All Ablaze'
9 I Am Kloot - 'Over My Shoulder'
10 Jim Noir - 'My Patch'
11 New Order - 'Waiting For The Sirens Call'
12 Ironweed - 'Down To My Grave'
