Artist News Releases
NME to present the 1990s in new compilation
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 5 November 2013
NME is to ride the ‘1990s renaissance’ wave by releasing a compilation of the era’s greatest hits.
Due next week via Sony Music, the three-disc ‘NME Presents The 90s’ will feature over 50 tracks by the likes of Radiohead, Blur, Oasis, The Notorious BIG, Fatboy Slim, The Cure, Jeff Buckley and Wu-Tang Clan. And the rest, listed here.
NME editor Mike Williams says: “You only need to look at how influential these artists are in 2013 to understand why the 90s were such a big deal for music, and such a big deal for NME. Every single artist on this album still resonates today, every single artist still matters”.
Mike’s quite right. I mean, we have only to check the faint 1990s vibe resonating on the cover of NME’s super-grungy ‘Young Britannia’ issue to realise that the decade was, as he says, a big deal.
