90s & 00s

"Dummy" is the debut album of the English band Portishead, released in 1994. The album is a blend of various genres such as trip-hop, jazz, and electronica, and features the haunting vocals of lead singer Beth Gibbons.

Listening to the remastered box set of Massive Attacks's debut album 21 years after its initial release is like reading an old William Gibson novel that describes the then-near future, which is now the present, with unsettling precision.

"Screamadelica" is the third studio album by Scottish rock band Primal Scream, released in 1991. It is a fusion of various genres such as rock, house, and dub, and is widely regarded as one of the most influential albums of the 1990s.

Mezzanine is like no other album that has come before, or since. It's timeless and genre-defying, yet it's also the best example of late 90's trip-hop any British music act could have produced. Massive Attack's use of samples and the sheer mix of musical genres they spanned was visionary, peerless and inspirational.

Jeff Buckley was an American singer and guitarist whose unique voice, spanning four octaves, launched him to semi-celebrity, and onto legend. In 1994, Buckley released his first album Grace, composed of ten tracks.

OK Computer', Radiohead's third album, is the bombastic follow-up to 1995's sleeper hit 'The Bends', which left critics and listeners as impressed with the band's ability as they were curious about their potential.

After years of obscurity, Pulp shot to stardom in Britain with 1994's His 'n' Hers.

The Bristol-based trip-hop pioneers had, potentially, a huge task on their hands to follow up the hugely influential 1991 debut album ‘Blue Lines.’ But they managed it with apparent ease, delivering a record that would end up in a Rolling Stone list of the ten coolest albums of all time. Co-producing with Nellee Hooper, the Massive Attack collective delivered another masterstroke by utilising guest musicians and vocalists throughout the album, as they had on ‘Blue Lines.’ This time, without Shara Nelson, they included Nigerian singer-songwriter Nicolette, Jamaican reggae veteran Horace Andy and, perhaps most memorably, Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl on the title track, which became a UK top 15 single.
