This whole thread is like the innards of my cd collection. And the ones I don’t have, are on my wantlist.
I spent my youth in the nineties and therefore my fondest memories are from that period. Now that I’m a grown up I’ve begun to buy back all the amazing stuff that I used to love back then.
Thought Industry, what an amazing group.
16 Horsepower - the predecessors of Wovenhand and basically forefathers of alt country
Jellyfish - ”The 90s Beatles” pure 100% genius all the way
That Dog
And so on. Keep on posting, i can’t wait to wake up in the morning and see all the great stuff.

Sad story.
This band should have been huge. They stood out well above their peers, got two peel sessions and were generally set for taking over the world. But they only ever got two EPs out. They were super unlucky. They had their van nicked with all their gear in it not long before they were due to start recording, then they just sort of stumbled as a band. Their singer killed himself a couple of years later, but I’ll never forget the first time I heard Injured birds on John Peel. Some clever bastard has helpfully put it on YouTube, so you can all enjoy it with me.

Totally - I first saw them opening for Damo Suzuki at the Kosmische Club (which for full disclosure I ended up DJing at) at The Garage in London and was absolutely brain-fried by them.
Pretty much everything they do in their three million bands is great, and a highlight was when they released the Pharaoh Overlord album called Circle and a Circle album called Pharaoh Overlord. That and renting out the band name Circle to a completely different group for a year.

Crate diggers in the 2040s will be all over these.
One of the first things I’d do if I had a time machine is leap forward a few decades and understand the current music and what is seen as cool from the retro back catalogue
(before stealing a few songs and returning to present day of course)

Miljard is one of the most peaceful rockish albums I know.
Also the Circle collab album with Verde - Tower - is fantastic. (I think its the same circle?)

One of my favorite albums (via Napster) from the early 00s was Bloc Party’s debut and the remix album of it. I think it really stands the test of time. The drummer is especially sick on this one:

so good to see this one - this is an ALBUM - I still can’t believe how each track just keeps getting better the further into the album you get. I always put this on along with Duster’s Stratosphere.
Great thread!
Not forgotten, but coincidentally I listened to this deliciously 90s track for the first time last night Sonic Youth - Sunday - YouTube
