Cassette Demo from Portugal

This was the acclaimed debut album by the famous Zaps, five young women of Congolese/Belgian origin who conquered the world with their joyous acapella mix of Pygmy music, human beatbox sounds, Central African or Arabic pop tunes, ragamuffin under Zairean influence, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and a touch of soul & gospel... Zap Mama's origins, message and musical choices embodied and glorified the virtues of cultural mix and interracialism. The beauty and freshness of their vocal harmonies, their entertaining, humorous & energetic stage show generated tremendous enthousiasm all around Europe and the USA (where this record was the second best-selling world music album of 93, according to Billboard).



Produced by Vincent Kenis (who later went on to produce Konono N°1 etc).

Gish is the debut studio album by the American alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins, released on May 28, 1991, by Caroline Records. The album was produced by Butch Vig and frontman Billy Corgan, with the latter describing Gish as a "very spiritual album" and "an album about spiritual ascension".

Despite initially peaking at only number 195 on the Billboard 200 upon its release, Gish received critical acclaim, with particular praise directed at the band's distinctive psychedelic sound. The album was eventually certified platinum (at least one million copies shipped in the US) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), becoming one of the best-selling independent albums at the time.[2] It has since been ranked by multiple publications as one of the best rock albums of the 1990s, with Pitchfork deeming "without Gish, there would probably be no Nevermind as we know it."

Ten is the debut studio album by American rock band Pearl Jam, released on August 27, 1991, through Epic Records. Following the dissolution of their previous band Mother Love Bone in 1990, bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Stone Gossard began rehearsing with guitarist Mike McCready.

辑介绍：
香港MCB杂志评出的100张欧美最具革命性专辑之一，评语为：“美国后摇滚体系的先锋乐团，一张影响着整个后摇运动发展的导航唱片。”
存在于1987-1991年间的美国post-rock乐队，这是他们的第二张，也是最后一张完整的录音室专辑，专辑发行不久乐队即告解散。他们在音乐中大量使用吉他噪音和怪异的和弦来营造旋律和氛围，人声退居到很不显眼的位置。这张专辑被许多人认为是第一张后摇滚专辑，影响十分深远。专辑发行的时候，封套上留了个地址，希望有兴趣参与的女音乐人和他们联系。PJ Harvey曾经给这个地址去过信，但那时乐队已经不存在了。
关于Slint：
（引自jickbin朋友在
的介绍）
肯塔基州路易维尔的 Slint 成军于 1987 年，在出版两张叫好不叫座的专辑《Tweez》(1989) 和《Spiderland》(1991) 后便宣告解散﹝1994 年出版的迷你辑《Slint》录制于 1990 年左右﹞，但影响力却随着团员四散新组的乐团，和无数受 Slint 启蒙而纷纷仿效的后进，而与日俱增。被众多媒体包括 Alternative Press、 Pitchfork 等选为90 年代百大专辑，NME、Melody Maker 等选为乐史百大专辑，由 Steve Albini 制作的 《Spiderland》是乐史第一张可以称作后摇滚的唱片。这个堂皇的冠冕虽然成就了后来 Slint 无与伦比的传奇名声，但实际上听过 Slint 音乐的人，其实少得可怜，不少人可能只听过 1995 年发的《Kids》原声带里收录的结束曲〈Good Morning Captain〉。但无庸置疑的，从 Polvo、June of 44、Dirty Three 到 Mogwai、Godspeed You Black Emporer!、Sigur Ros，Slint 的影响至今持续发酵。

Nevermind is the second studio album and major-label debut by American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991 by DGC Records. It was Nirvana's first release to feature drummer Dave Grohl. Produced by Butch Vig, Nevermind features a more polished, radio-friendly sound than the band's prior work. It was recorded at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California, and Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, in May and June 1991, and mastered that August at the Mastering Lab in Hollywood, California.

Written primarily by frontman Kurt Cobain, Nevermind is noted for channeling a range of emotions, being noted as dark, humorous, and disturbing. Its themes include alienation, frustration, anti-establishment and anti-sexist views, and troubled love inspired by Cobain's broken relationship with Bikini Kill's Tobi Vail. Contrary to the hedonistic themes popular in rock music at the time, writers have observed that Nevermind promoted the image of the sensitive artist in mainstream rock. According to Cobain, the sound of the album was influenced by bands such as Pixies, R.E.M., the Smithereens, and Melvins. Though the album is considered a cornerstone of the grunge genre, it is noted for its musical diversity, which includes acoustic ballads ("Polly" and "Something in the Way") and punk-influenced hard rock ("Territorial Pissings" and "Stay Away").

Nevermind became an unexpected critical and commercial success, reaching the top 10 on charts across the world. On January 11, 1992, it replaced Michael Jackson's Dangerous at the number one spot of the US Billboard 200 and was selling approximately 300,000 copies a week. The lead single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", reached the Top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100 and went on to be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Its music video was also heavily rotated on MTV. Three other successful singles were released: "Come as You Are", "Lithium", and "In Bloom". The album was voted the best album of the year in Pazz & Jop critics' poll, while "Smells Like Teen Spirit" also topped the single-of-the-year and video-of-the-year polls. The album also garnered the band three Grammy Award nominations in total across the 34th and 35th Grammy Awards, including Best Alternative Music Album.

Nevermind propelled Nirvana into worldwide superstardom, with Cobain being dubbed the "voice of his generation". It brought grunge and alternative rock to a mainstream audience while accelerating the decline of hair metal, drawing similarities to the early 1960s British Invasion of American popular music. It is also often credited with initiating a resurgence of interest in punk culture among teenagers and young adults of Generation X. It has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. In 2024, it was certified 13× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Among the most acclaimed and influential albums in the history of music, Nevermind was added by the Library of Congress to the National Recording Registry in 2004 for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", and is frequently ranked highly on lists of the greatest albums of all time, including being ranked number six on Rolling Stone's 2020 and 2023 lists of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". The album has since been reissued with alternate takes and live performances.

在80年代末至90年代，英国出现了纯粹以吉他噪音实验为目标的乐队与风格，并且获得了相当大的成功，在英国独立摇滚中可谓独树一帜。敏感的乐评人称这一类音乐风格为“自赏摇滚”（Shoe-gazing）。“自赏摇滚”这一名称很是贴切，既包涵了乐队的音乐风格，又暗示了乐队特立独行的生活态度。 My Bloody Valentine就是这类摇滚的代表人物，Loveless是该乐队的第三张专辑，被公认为是该乐队最成功的代表作，在世界范围内都有巨大影响，这张专辑和乐队名称甚至一起出现在了经典游戏Final FantasyVII的片头CG里。
