The three-CD collection features over 50 of the decade’s most influential artists, handpicked by NME, including tracks from definitive 90s bands including Radiohead, Ash, The Verve, Happy Mondays, Primal Scream and The Cure.
The 90s was a decade that saw a vast number of genres change the face of music forever, says NME. Oasis, Blur and Pulp helped turn Britpop into a cultural phenomenon, Radiohead reinvented not just themselves but modern pop music, hip-hop entered a new golden age via Wu-Tang Clan and The Notorious B.I.G, while The Prodigy, Underworld and Fatboy Slim led a dance music revolution.
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.”
NME Presents The 90s will be released on Monday 11th November, but it is available to pre-order now from iTunes and Amazon.
The album release comes hot on the heels of NME’s relaunch, which saw a complete reworking of the magazine's content and a refocusing of the key areas online, including the introduction of a number of new franchises and enhancing the most popular sections of the magazine and website.
