Albums First Released in 1990
Dream pop, shoegaze, alternative hip hop and heavier guitar music all gathered momentum in 1990. Major releases from 1990 include Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins, Violator by Depeche Mode, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm by A Tribe Called Quest and Facelift by Alice in Chains.
The year sits between decades rather than belonging neatly to either. Cocteau Twins and Ride developed immersive guitar sound, Depeche Mode brought electronic pop to stadium scale, and A Tribe Called Quest offered a warmer path for hip hop.

Our Pick of the Year: Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Heaven or Las Vegas brought Cocteau Twins' layered guitar sound into its clearest form. Elizabeth Fraser's voice often works as texture as much as language, while Cherry-coloured Funk, Iceblink Luck and the title track keep strong melodic shapes underneath. The album is immediate enough for newcomers but still difficult to reduce to one genre.
