An above-average soundtrack to a mediocre film, this dance-oriented album hits more than it misses. The title track by David Bowie is fluff by his standards, but as it's produced by Nile Rodgers (a year before their collaboration on Black Tie White Noise), it's danceable fluff. Further in, the album samples the beginnings of the '90s techno revolution, with excellent tracks from Future Sound of London ("Papua New Guinea"), Moby ("Next Is the E"), Ministry's Bush-era primal scream "N.W.O.," and Mindless's "Mindless." Brian Eno's exclusive track "Under" is one of his best from the '90s.

Hourglass is the highly acclaimed debut solo studio album by the celebrated English contemporary folk singer-songwriter Kate Rusby, originally released in 1997 through her family's independent label, Pure Records. Following her formative departures from notable folk ensembles like Equation and The Poozies, this milestone recording instantly established her as a defining luminary of the modern British folk revival movement. The album features a masterful blend of traditional Yorkshire ballads, maritime lore, and profoundly moving original compositions, all centered around Rusby's distinctively pure, unadorned, and emotionally resonant vocal delivery. Produced and arranged in close collaboration with renowned Scottish musician John McCusker, the sonic architecture avoids over-embellished production, opting instead for an intimate, live acoustic soundstage that highlights meticulous instrumentations. Rich layers of diatonic accordion, whistle, double bass, fiddle, and acoustic guitars delicately weave throughout the arrangements to offer a comforting yet haunting depth. Universally lauded by acoustic music enthusiasts for its fragile beauty, rhythmic nuance, and preservation of roots music, this foundational release stands as an essential masterpiece of modern Celtic and British folk heritage.
