Not my cup of tea, sick nonetheless. Very good at the re/mixing.

"Hammock - Ten Thousand Years Won't Save Your Life" - Yep, that is a much better fit. Imagining chilling out in a hammock at Lago Izabal in Guate, some weed, headphones, great tune.

The 90´s were such a great time for music!

Yeah Levis did notice of good shit, today we have just mobile-services like vodafone that take care of good indie music!
Sad to see that theres no new stuff from babylon-zoo, im sure they could competete well with bands like 30 seconds to mars and stuff!

Hell, yeah, there was a lot of crap there, too . Early 90s, the trainwreck that the new-wave got itself into, for example. The downfall of the Sisters of Mercy, Phillip Boa, The Mission.
New bands emerged from the shadows like Primal Scream, Stone Roses, The Orb, Nirvana. The birth of affordable hardware-samplers and synthesizers for hobby musicians . The affordable home studio for professionels was stil 10-15 years in the future.
Babylon Zoo came to the scene on the mid 90s. Well, they never really came. They always sucked. Like Nickleback, only worse.
I remember, around 92, a lot of Boom-tchick-Boom-tchick-Boom-tchick- Techno came to the scene, that I never got quite into. Which was later followed by the even worse 150-160bpm jungle. That was god-aweful-stuff. Hate(d) it.

Plus the likes of Liam Howlett and Daft Punk, pretty much redefining scenes (prodigy killed rave etc, wtf was house before Daft Punk ?). Hip Hop just completely blew up n all and anything decent comes from that time period.

Say what you want about Jungle n all but that went off and spawned a whole load of new sub genres that are knocking around today, Dub Step ?.

But for every golden egg there's a turd that pops out, the 90s was also the birth of boy/girl bands, happy hardcore and coldplay *shudders*

Yes, you are right. Liam, Tricky, Bristol scene in general pumped up the volume in enomous ways, I forgot those.
What is rave, anyways? The Happy Mondays, Charlatans or what was later called trip hop?

But I stil hate Jungle. And always will. Had bad trips on it.

I always considered it the music played at underground (rave) dance scenes and Prodigy were accused of killing it as everyone was trying to imitate them, as the underground scene found they could make money with Prodigys formula and was basically dragged into the commercial world and cheapened the scene - so now we get Global Gathering and V festival n shit.

Not my arguement, mind. All that underground shit was a flash in the pan, Prodigy just kind of solidified the scene. it just kinda evolved / decayed into garage parties n stuff.

That sounds reasonable. I remember MTV calling the Mondays or Primal Scream or the Roses "Rave" early on in the 90s and suddenly over a 3 year span a rave turned into what would later become the "Mayday"-festival.

Aye, it was a melting pot of genres pretty much. Some of them went on to be huge scenes, others fizzled out and died. Prodigy just got labeled with rave because of their popularity and involvement with the scene and created a split in the crowds.

That era, in the early-mid 90s pretty much shaped electronic music for the next 20 years.

You are not talking about the Mayday-days now, are you?
From what I remember the Mayday was exactly what I hated about that new electro-"rave-logic".
Have good electronics emerged from there?

I'm not so much into electronic music but you can't sidepass it completely nowadays:).

Mayday was so much boom-boom-boom-oriented that I simply left it to my left. Should I have been more careful?

Rave was the melting pot and it was widely considered that it died in the late 80s / early 90s, which is the split I was talking about when Prodigy released Experience (92) and were seen as the rave scene, cos anyone that now goes to a rave expects to see Prodigy. So it died in its place stuff like DnB and Jungle and Garage and Hardcore and shit fell out the sides that went on to create House and Dub Step and breakbeat and all sorts of shit, including Mayday.

My arguement is Rave killed itself and just evolved

MTV Europe used to call the Stone Roses debut "rave". They used to call the Happy Mondays around 1990 "rave". Rave used to be guitar-oriented during its' first 2-3 years.
And then, can't remember exactly, electronic driven music was the new rave.
And during the early 90s I had problems with pure electronic music. It just didn't sound right. Imo, Jungle stil doesn't sound right, and fuck Skrill-what?
