These Are The Songs We Always Wanted To Hear has similar artwork to the previous compilation, only it's in a jewel case rather than a digipak. Lots more great indiepop here - the brilliant summery pop of Carrots; a Teenage Fanclub/Velvet Crush sounding track from Seaside Stars; superb indiepop with 60s folk elements from Greg Murray; upbeat indiepop from Graeme Elston's current band Slipslide; 80s-ish indiepop from The Cherry Orchard (their track is a Go-Betweens cover); more 80s-ish indiepop from The Blue Chairs; melancholic, but not twee, indie music from Stagger Lee, who are definitely not the blues band their name suggests; old style jangly pop from Jackethive; sophisticated melancholic indie music with atmospheric touches from Belasco; summery, cute pop with an additional country twang from Call & Response; more old-school jangle from Johnny Johnny (formerly Johnny Dee) and floaty, light pop from Ephemera. There's also electropop from Lifestyle, Olympic Lifts and Geffen, mod/powerpop from The O5, 60s-ish pop meets indiepop from Phony, pop with a bossa/60s easy listening feel from Goldstoned, and indie meets alt-country from Alex Lowe (ex-Hurricane #1).
