Albums First Released in 1992

The alternative boom widened in 1992, while ambient electronic music, sophisticated soul and heavier rock all found strong audiences. Among the defining albums released in 1992 were Love Deluxe by Sade, Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin, Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against the Machine and Automatic for the People by R.E.M.

Sade made restraint central to modern soul, Aphex Twin helped define home-listening electronic music, Rage Against the Machine joined rap and metal, and R.E.M. made a quiet album at the height of its fame.

Our Pick of the Year: Love Deluxe by Sade

Love Deluxe uses space and restraint as carefully as melody. No Ordinary Love, Kiss of Life and Cherish the Day place Sade Adu's voice over arrangements that draw from soul, jazz and downtempo production without sounding tied to a trend. The album's calm surface carries songs about desire, distance and commitment.
