droid Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Round about the time i started liking music for myself and not what my mum and dad listened to in the house. Can remember the first time i heard Guns n Roses, probably the first time i'd ever heard a sweary word in a song....Instantly hooked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Mmm, well depends on age group. At high school going into 1st 2nd 3rd year there was a big "hardcore" scene with people passing about recordings from raves all over the country. Some of the London stuff I'd actually like to hear again (loved a tape of ratty and mastervibe?) , same can't be said for the Rez stuff or Bassy G! My brother had decks and we used to go to the bass generator shop - cant remember where it was, maybe down the bottom of the high st? - to pick up records, and I think we used to get some from downstairs at fopp though I'm not sure. Ultrasonic and all that pish was doing the rounds as well as the rumour that "carl cox was dead" (anyone else hear that?)....I remember we used to subject my parents to these ridiculous tapes on drives down to the alps or south of france. After that though, at 14, in 1994, definitely maybe came out and changed everything. I was a huge charlatans fans, especially after seeing them at the Livingston Forum in Nov 1995 (this concernt has been the subject of numerous threads and posts on here) when they blew me away, they were definitely at the top of their game and the whole death of rob collins is a definite "what if...?" moment as I think he kept their sound a bit more grounded, heavy, rocking. So there was lot of black grape, stone roses, oasis stuff going on, although I was always also into beats. The Jeru album, wrath of the math is an all time classic hip hop LP, and it came out in 96, so at 16 I was also listening to ATCQ Beats, Rhymes and life, Jeru, Gangstarr, Tricky, Pressure Drop (Introduced to this and Blue lines by a German Political Researcher we met on a trip in 5th year with Modern Studies!) as well as the indie stuff. Oh yeah and the verve's a northern soul was perfect lock yourself in your room material, pscyhedelic enough in places, but swirling emotion and fantastic guitars mark it out as miles better than its follow up. Great times. There was a real feeling of something happening in music, that 95/96 moment was pretty special and really exciting as someone just getting old enough to go to gigs and have illicit drinks...Obviously that came crashing down and enough's been written on the "last party" as the downfall of britpop* has been described. *A horrible word, but useful.

Feel exactly the same about the 1990/91 period, round about the time I started getting into booze, cigarettes, women and illegal drugs! Guess it probably depends when you were born, but we were both lucky to have such a quality soundtrack to that period of our lives! Unlike kids now, who I feel extremely sorry for...

Adi Dassler Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Anybody at High School between 1994 and 1996 who doesn't have Oasis in there is probably a liar. Of course it is terribly unpopular to say so now. Too many people these days up their own arses trying to re-write the musical landscape of the mid 1990's i think.
