I need suggestions for songs/ tracks from Scottish artisits suitable for a DH MTB film. I've pretty much got the indie/ rock side of things covered, just needing suggestions from other genres, so that there is a bit of diversity in the music. Any serious suggestions greatly appreciated. It has to be from Scottish artists.

Cheers!

Upbeat? From this bunch of miserables? You will be lucky!

" don't come back too soon " by del amitri

" the sexual loneliness of jesus christ " by jackie levine

that should have you bopping

Well it's got to be the Proclaimers' 500 miles 🙂

Positive Education by Slam?

queen of the new year or real gone kid by deacon blue?
or big country by big country?

yes i still live in the eighties

Perhaps I shuld have said current, contemporary, within the last five years 😉

Thanks for the suggestions!

Real Gone Kid gets my vote – still makes me smile when I hear it 🙂

EDIT – sorry, just read it's for a DH film so that'd have to be crap thrash metal then 😉

Talking of what was acceptable in the 80s…If you want some electronic/dance music, Calvin Harris is from Dumfries, The Shamen were from Aberdeen and Boards of Canada are from Balerno. BoC even did a track called Happy Cycling, not sure how well it would work with some gnarly downhill action, though!

You could try some of the Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham stuff. Traditional Scottish folk but one or two tracks might do the job.

I'll see if Mrs M can pick something out

Into the Valley of course.

Blood by Arab Strap

…just kidding.

Something from Biffy Clyro?

Or Lucky Man by Thunder? [Working on a faint recollection that Thunder were at least in part a Scottish band]

The State Im In by Belle & Sebastian 😉

Try Calvin Harris for the electo stuff:

That's not electro.

I've pretty much got the indie/ rock side of things covered

I guess you've got some Idlewild in then,

Try Calvin Harris for the electo stuff:
That's not electro

.

What is it then?, it aint indie, You could say electro-pop if you wanted to be pedantic?

Not my cup of tea either before you start saying "I would call it shite"

there must be a recent remix of sweet dreams by eurythmics?

Organic 355 – Thanks for the wiki link!

Gringo – Biffy are in there already.

Sobriety – thinking about Idlewild, but can't get a track that works with the footage – not exhausted all their songs yet.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Keep them coming.

The Corries

sons and daughters – taste the last girl, blood, broken bones, dance me in?

Yeah Mylo – Destroy Rock and Roll album – don't know why I didn't think of that, having been to see him several times! Paris 400 would be spot on I reckon.

Or Sunworshipper for any chilled out stuff.

Belle and Sebastian ?

http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/

That is awesome!

I'm On The Way From Misery To Happiness :-))

+1 for the Sons and Daughters – top band, great music and very good live too.

U.N.P.O.C.

Boards of Canada

Ooops by Hudson Mohawke? or something from the Butter album.

Alex Smoke is my favouritest Scottish musician – very electro. Big back catalogue to find something suitable.

Then there's Rustie and Mike Slott – look here http://www.thisisluckyme.com

We were promised jetpacks, Twin Atlantic, Zoey van goey and if you want something really upbeat a bit of malcolm middleton 😉

Pencil Full of Lead Paulo Nutini

Something by Primal Scream?

Star sign – Teenage fanclub
Square 9- Frightened rabbit
Midfield maestro-There will be fireworks

and for some jangly summer pop
try

Sunkissed – Friends again

We were promised jetpacks are in there. I've used Twin Atlantic before. Sons and Daughters might sneak in there.

Going to have an enjoyable night of exploring new music!

Cheers for all the suggestions.
