Title: 90s box set Post by nmf016 on Jun 7th, 2005, 3:55pm No idea of what the link to the actual article is - I was just using a newspaper database. June 7, 2005, Tuesday 11:20 AM Eastern Time SECTION: Entertainment News LENGTH: 1102 words HEADLINE: Rhino boxes up '90s favorites BYLINE: By BARRY A. JECKELL, Billboard.com DATELINE: NEW YORK BODY: Following a template that has generated several prior collections, Rhino is compiling a grandiose box set surveying a decade less than six years in the rearview mirror. Due July 26, "Whatever: The '90s Pop Culture Box" will span seven discs with 130 songs that collectively defined the commercial modern rock scene or hit high points on pop and rap charts. The set opens with the ubiquitous M.C. Hammer hit "U Can't Touch This" and closes with Moby's "Natural Blues." In between, listeners will find familiar songs from singer/songwriters (Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Jewel), rappers (Ice-T, Queen Latifah, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Salt-N-Pepa), pop hitmakers (Hanson, Jamiroquai), mainstream rock acts (the Black Crowes, Queensryche, Blues Traveler), grunge cornerstones (Tad, Mother Love Bone, Screaming Trees), key alternative outfits (Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M., My Bloody Valentine, the Sundays, Pavement), quirky experimentalists (Ween, They Might Be Giants, King Missile, Primus) and dancefloor shakers (En Vogue, Deee-Lite). Rhino's access to the archives of WEA (Warner, Elektra, Atlantic), gives the label a robust catalog from which to cherry pick hits and defining tracks of the era. Although the track list is seemingly exhaustive, there are substantial holes. Unrepresented are such iconic artists as Britney Spears, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, the Backstreet Boys, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, No Doubt, Garth Brooks and TLC, who released some of the highest-charting titles of the decade. Others who are seemingly within Rhino's purview, such as Madonna, Hootie & the Blowfish and Alanis Morissette, are also not represented. The box -- which will be adorned with a bag of coffee beans and a thermal wrap sporting faux corporate logos -- will include an 84-page book with 1990s timeline, track-by-track commentary and photographs to put the music in context. Music critics Jim DeRogatis and Joel Stein contribute essays to the book, which also includes an interview with Sub Pop president/co-founder Jonathan Poneman.

Title: Re: 90s box set Post by Dream of Goo on Jun 7th, 2005, 4:04pm Yeah that is cool. Which song exactly makes u ill??? I read somewhere that John was saying that they r big in america but not as big in UK and rest of EUROPE, so that's why it made sense that John and the goos appear alot in cd's like this one and magazine, concerts and tv shows more in states. Funny how i always thought it was more difficiclut for an artist to break in america. |
