READ MORE:\u00a0Primal Scream tell us about their protest disco album: \u201cIf you\u2019re gonna scream from the rooftops, there is no better time\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Dubbed \u2018The Bunker Trilogy\u2019<\/a>, the collection will be released on double LP, CD and digitally throughout the autumn, beginning on August 7 with 1997\u2019s \u2018Vanishing Point\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their 2000 follow-up will land on September 4, with 2002\u2019s \u2018Evil Heat\u2019 lined up for October 30, following their full 2026 \u2018XTRMNTR\u2019 UK anniversary tour. You can pre-order it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The collection will include new mixes, unheard material, b-sides, and new liner notes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe albums constituting \u2018The Bunker Trilogy\u2019 were the complete antithesis of everything that was going on in UK music in the 1990s. We were making uncompromising aggressive experimental pop and rock music with lyrics about psychic dislocation, addiction, alienation, depression, questioning our very existence and documenting the dark sleazy underbelly of UK youth culture,\u201d said frontman Bobby Gillespie<\/a> of \u2018The Bunker Trilogy\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were wary of New Labour and its neo-liberal trojan horse policies and we were prescient in our prediction of the resurgence of fascism, militarism and Imperialism to come in the 21st century. We were not ever \u2018Britpop\u2019 \u2013 we wanted to burn the flag, not wave it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWhilst the rest of the UK music and cultural scene fell in love with itself, convinced by their own genius, drowning in an orgy of narcissism and cocaine in a permanent self-aggrandising state, we had had our times of utopian thinking at the beginning of the decade but were now full of disgust for ourselves and the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of that self-reflecting mood came the albums \u2018Vanishing Point\u2019, \u2018XTMTR\u2019 and \u2018Evil Heat\u2019. All recorded at our north London studio, The Bunker. We are quietly ecstatic that these albums have all been newly mastered complete with the necessary \u2018B\u2019 sides from the times and will once again be available on vinyl, CD and streaming platforms, as this is a body of work that we are very, very proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n
