that picture is beautiful. Has anyone got the colour version? even more stunning. look at the face!!!!!

This was my 1993 year-end top 10 list:


10. The Wake - Masked


9. Suddenly, Tammy! - Suddenly, Tammy!


8. Rosetta Stone - Adrenaline


7. London After Midnight - Selected Scenes From The End Of The World


6. Prince - The Hits/The B-Sides


5. Janet Jackson - Janet


4. Miranda Sex Garden - Suspiria


3. Cranes - Forever


2. Curve - Cuckoo


1. Fields Of The Nephilim - Revelations

1993 was in the middle of my prime goth years so my list is very dark. Two best of comps made my list which is a no-no for me today.

I don't really remember which albums I slept on back then. I think I didn't get PJ Harvey's 'Rid Of Me' until after 'To Bring You My Love' so that would qualify. Björk's 'Debut' and Wu-Tang's first album I didn't buy until later also.

around those years anyway



I still can't believe how the world has forgotten about Lush - IMO 'Split' was one of the best records of the so-called Alternative Era

Totally forgot about that one.

I was into this even more.

'Split' was 1994. I love Lush and as a result I'm very into Emma's new band Sing-Sing. They need a lot more press.

I did add the disclaimer, "around those years anyway"

basically so I could squeeze Lush in there!

Really cool topic! I loved janet. and Salt 'n Pepper's Very Necssary. Oh and ofcourse Prince's The hits! That was the album that introduced me to alot of his older gems.

What do you think of Sing-Sing?

A Tribe Called Quest: Midnight Marauders

Digable Planets: Reachin'

Janet Jackson: janet

Black Moon: Enta Da Stage

De La Soul: Buhloone Mindstate

Prince: The Hits/B-Sides


Singles/songs:

"Right Here (Human Nature Remix)" -- SWV

"Anniversary" -- Tony Toni Tone

"Pink Cashmere" -- Prince

'Breakadawn" -- De La Soul

"93 Til Infinity" -- Souls of Mischief

"No Need For Alarm" -- Del The Funky Homosapien

"Top of the World" -- Kenya Gruv (from Menace II Society soundtrack)

Honestly, I heard enough of The Chronic that I was sick of it for a while. I got put on to Wu-Tang at the beginning of '94.

The face is nice. I'll never like the whole thing though. It rubs me the wrong way...

It's iconic, but not my favorite image either, heartbeatocean.

I love Sing-Sing and I looooove the new record. I basically ignored them until a few months ago, when my need for a Lush fix got so bad that I just gave in. Really super glad I did. The first cd is more complex to me, but this new one showcases Lisa's voice - just incredible. The best female vocal I've heard in years.

They (Sing-Sing) are one of my 4 MySpace friends - ha! I do love those girls.

Oh and do you guys remember Mint Condition? That song "Freek me" or whatever that "Let me lick you up and down til u say stop...let me play with your body baby make u real hot.." LOL I got that tape just for that song. But then again I was kinda a werid kid...I picked up one of Luther Cambell's tape...I don't remember the name of the album..It was him in a bubble bath with a bunch of women on the cover?...it had this really stupid song on it "Uptown hop"...Man he is such a crappy rapper!

Listened to: Anything that was house and uptempo Miami bass rap.
Slept on: Anything that wasn't.
