90s and early 2000s were cemented by works like these. By these I really mean electronica and it’s influence. It had hit mainstream. Warp was full on, having all sorts of artists and releasing their Artificial Intelligence compilation. Darude had just come out with Sandstorm and Digitally Imported radio was taking off with Shoutcast. Elsewhere, Nu-Metal for example was starting to come into its own, lots of new music that we haven’t heard before with all sorts of genre overlaps. Textures that did not exist before. We knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that we were in a musical zeitgeist.
Has anything like this ever happened since? I keep chasing the dragon but I haven’t seen anything of this sort occur. It seems like we’ve mostly stabilized and are back to an equilibrium.
