World Party - Goodbye Jumbo (1990)
Sonic Youth - Goo (1990)
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Good Son (1990)
A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Path of Rhythm (1990)
Years back at the ol' MG, we had a series where everyone named an album from a certain year (without duplicates), and my choice was Goodbye Jumbo, an album at the time I had only heard a couple of times but just really grabbed me. I wind up losing my copy in a hard drive disaster, then it was not readily available streaming for years, and I just kind of forgot about it. So I was delighted to see when I was choosing albums that it was available on Apple Music now. Just a great vibe, a great listen, and an album that most have sadly forgotten about today
Haven't spun Goo in awhile. Is this @Unsomnambulist fave Sonic Youth album, I wonder
So begin the first in a long series of Nick Cave listens (actually a little embarrassed not to hit a couple of his late 80s albums). Discovered him late (about 10 years ago) but he's emerged as an artist that I consistently enjoy. Didn't see him at cursory glance on the Rolling Stone list, and, if so, such an oversight.
As I mentioned above, though I don't feel 1990 overall is a tremendously strong year musically, it's a tremendous year for hip hop including the debut of A Tribe Called Quest. Given the popularity of gangsta rap, you just knew with a title like People's Instinctive Travels and the Path of Rhythm, you were dealing with something very different - love ATCQ's first three albums, great sampling, chill vibe, nice stuff
