(An alternate) List of roughly contemporaneous albums I bought during last two years of high school (96 to 98)

I thought it'd be interesting to do an alternate poll to Old Lunch's one, from the point of view of a dance/electronic music obsessed 90s kid. Some of these (like that DJ Spooky ambient album or the Apollo 440 one) I haven't listened to since the 90s, but some are still dope!

A guy with some involvement with Omni Trio (I can't remember what the connection was, maybe a record label thing) used to walk into the bakery where I worked in Brooklyn back then and give out their CDs. Not the sort of thing I usually listen to, but I always liked what I heard a lot.

Despite the name, Omni Trio is just one guy. And yeah, his early-to-mid-90s material is utterly classic. Haunted Science is still in my top 5 drum & bass albums of all time.

Ha. So this was one of the directions in which my musical tastes branched out in the years after high school (and as I gained exposure to The World) but I actually heard very few of these specific albums back then. I was exposed to most of the artists through comps, though (the Trance Europe Express and Headz compilations specifically), and from watching Amp on MTV.

Second Toughest is still great. I might be boring and go with that.

Lotta stuff I like here, even more that I want to hear (khan is a total blind spot for me, as is air liquidy). Gotta go for the electrifying funky Paperclip People album.

You know, this thread sent me back to my Omni Trio albums (plus the one that's on Spotify, which isn't bad at all). It's odd that he/they don't have a dedicated thread here (that I can find). His stuff is up there with Ultramarine in my book, as far as accessibility to people who don't normally listen to whatever this genre is. Like if Philip Glass and Steve Reich and Neu! have their own threads, Omni Trio should too.

good list tuomas, i feel if you took some of this and some of old lunch's list it would be a good approximation of what i listened in high school

― marcos, Wednesday, 6 April 2016 16:27 (nine years ago)

that bone thugs album is pretty much perfect, has been one of the most enjoyable things to rediscover after not listening to it for prob 15 years

Agreed, and I'd add that my habits then would've generally leaned more Old Lunch, and nowadays lean more Tuomas. The one I probably played the most of everything here is Blechsdöttir, which assumed the role of personal shopping list for a good year or two.

weird, i just in the last half hour bonded w/ the security guard at my work about bone thugs

Even if more in spirit than in content, this list is certainly more reflective of my listening habits post-high school.

― My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 6 April 2016 17:33 (nine years ago)

The summer after high school, in fact, I stumbled across a used cassette of U.F.Orb and had no idea what it was but bought it anyway (why because it looked intersting) and it was all over.
