Domino Records' reissues of bands like Orange Juice, Fire Engines and Josef K come as a revelation for those of us who loved this quirky, poppy music 25 years ago. And they will help introduce these bands to younger alternative music fans who will adore the unadorned precociousness of these guitar-fueled bands.
