1998 - Browse By Year

1998 was a year of sonic innovation, where the lines between genres blurred and electronic music stepped firmly into the spotlight. It was a time when trip-hop's atmospheric textures went mainstream, big beat delivered stadium-sized anthems, and hip-hop produced some of its most cinematic works. Our 1998 collection is a portal back to this creative and eclectic era.

This was the year Air delivered the timeless, dreamy soundscape of Moon Safari, and Massive Attack returned with the dark, beautiful masterpiece Mezzanine. Fatboy Slim had the world dancing with You've Come a Long Way, Baby, while Lauryn Hill redefined soul and hip-hop with her landmark solo debut, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. It was a year of ambitious statements, from the raw power of Pearl Jam's Yield to the experimental edge of Boards of Canada's Music Has the Right to Children.

Listening to these albums on vinyl highlights the rich, layered production and deep basslines that were central to the year's sound. It connects you to the analogue heart of these digital-age classics, offering a more immersive experience.
