Following the initial meeting of Roddy Woomble, Colin Newton and Rod Jones at Edinburgh University in the mid-90s, the newly formed IDLEWILD put their student loans together and released their debut 7” single in 1997. Now a decade later Idlewild release ‘Scottish Fiction’, a ‘Best of...' that compiles some of their many musical highlights of the last 10 years.

With a tracklisting chosen by the band themselves, 'Scottish Fiction' includes classic singles such as American English, You Held The World In Your Arms and Roseability, as well as selected album tracks from their Food/Parlophone releases and this year's Make Another World album on Sequel.  

The CD also contains a "digital insert" that allows fans to enter the CD into their computer and download two extra songs (the first two rare Idlewild singles Queen of the Troubled Teens and Chandelier).

The 17 track CD will come packaged with a 3 hour DVD featuring a live concert filmed this year at the Aberdeen Music Hall, all the Idlewild videos with audio commentary from Roddy, PLUS over an hour of unseen documentary footage filmed over the last twelve years (much of it cut to rare songs and unreleased demos).

So, what do you think? Best reviewer each month gets £10 off their next order!
