New 90s Podcast
Double Albums of the 90s
In the 1990s some artists could not contain their output to a single compact disc - we revisit the double albums of the decade
While the double album (two vinyl LPs) has long been the medium for big-thinking artists from Bob Dylan to Pink Floyd, introducing cassettes and compact discs in the 1980s changed the format length and what actually qualified as a double album. In the 1990s, artists again began pushing the limits of the dominant medium, as evidenced by double album releases over two compact discs not only by 90s rock bands like The Smashing Pumpkins or Wilco, but with hip-hop, electronic and others expanding their releases like from The Notorious B.I.G., Nine Inch Nails, The Orb, Tupac Shakur, and others.

Coming Soon
Rusty - Fluke
Democracy is alive! The union has voted and we’ll be reviewing 1995’s Fluke by Rusty. Congratulations to Gary Miron for suggesting the record.
Rusty is another good Canadian rock band that couldn't quite get their fingers into the US. They are a bit noisy and unrefined which gives their albums some unpredictability but they are catchy enough that they could have become radio mainstays in the mid 90's. They have a lively sound that you don't hear too often anymore. - Gary Miron, Dig Me Out listener
