The much talked about BuzzJack presents... 1993 is here. I started this a few months ago as a reaction to the laughable Now Yearbook 1993 track listing release. In hindsight, the selection of songs on Now Yearbook 1993 was not terrible. They were just in a terrible order. These things matter to me and gooddelta (wardy doesn't lose much sleep over placing 4 Non Blondes just before Eternal ) What struck me the most, as we whittled down our long list to our slightly less long list, was that alt-rock had quite the year. As did hip-hop. As Dexton alluded to earlier a few posts ago, reggae was all over the place. It's well known that I detest commercial reggae but honour it, I must, I won't bore your with my thoughts but (cancelled or not) I've really enjoyed re-discovering Michal Jackson's Give in To Me. Living On My Own, however, has aged less well. I will let the music speak for itself. Let us know what you think and what classics we have left out!

Any guesses for the closing tracks?

Be careful what you wish for! :D

Two correct

I didn't really appreciate the variety of popular music in 1993 until compiling this set. Hip hop and alt-rock were making great strides.

I thought you might say that. Alas it didn't stand up to the rigorous assessment rules of BuzzJack presents ..

That was certainly mentioned but not hotly debated.

Coming soon... Guess the opening tracks of all 4 discs Teeze Disc 1 8. Pet Shop Boys - Go West Disc 2 13. Arrested Development - Mr. Wendal Disc 3 11. Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name Disc 4 7. M People - Moving On Up

Coming soon... Guess the opening tracks of all 4 discs Dandy*, you're too good at this game - can you put your guesses in spoiler tags, please? :lol: Teeze Disc 1 8. Pet Shop Boys - Go West Disc 2 13. Arrested Development - Mr. Wendal Disc 3 11. Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name Disc 4 7. M People - Moving On Up

Gold Finger is definitely my favorite Ash song. Orbital went in at number 11 that week with The Box, which is one of my favorite pieces of electronic music.

Rent is one of the greatest lyrics in music.

Every member of BuzzJack is welcome to contribute to the project. At present, there are two ways that someone can contribute. Firstly, to work with one of our core team - awardinary, gooddelta and myself - to compile and sequence compilations (playlists on Spotify) based on a year, a genre or a theme. We have a set of guidelines which will be available to anyone who would like to contribute. Secondly, to produce artwork for each compilation - front cover and track listings for the back cover. At this point, I am taking care of this but anyone who has access to Adobe illustrator is very welcome to contribute. I'm going to update the opening post with this information.

I think 1993 will be with us early next week. 2003 hasn't been scheduled yet.

Cry Me a River is probably going to be on 2003 instead of Rock Your Body.

Any idea how much licensing a superstar track might cost?

why do you say that?

For the last time, thanks

Responding to what?

Indeed, 1993 should be with us soon.

I much prefer BuzzJack presents...... Fewer licencing issues, far more inclusive and vastly superior sequencing.

I don't agree. Certain chord progressions and keys can evoke emotion. There's several subgenres of dance music that could be made by AI and be just as effective as it would be if made by a person.

We're at the point already where someone that would commission or purchase a piece of incidental music can now make their own using Udio or Suno, so we're not far away from a whole chunk of the music industry disappearing altogether. On the creative side, Udio allows you to upload your own music and extend parts of it in ways that you may not have thought of. I've been remixing one of my own pieces for the last few days with Udio and it's a lot cleaner and more professional than I had made it.

It's already been announced, TheSnake! 😁

Delighted to see interest in this before it gets published.
