The 1996 Lou Reed album Set the Twilight Reeling celebrates a 25th anniversary today! The LP is dedicated to Laurie Anderson, whom Reed would marry twelve years later. Another well written 1990s Lou Reed LP, entertaining but not his finest moment.

The debut album Maxinquaye by Tricky is 25 years old today! The low-tempo trip-hop sound saw the ex-Massive Attack rapper become a known artist in his own right. Includes the fabulous tracks Overcome, Ponderosa, Black Steel and Aftermath. Love this album.

The 1989 Ministry album The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste is seen as an industrial music great. In a cliche ridden genre, Ministry avoided falling down the rabbit hole. The track Breathe is incredibly intoxicating and hypnotic.
