HOT BABOON ACTION – MUSIC IN THE 21ST CENTURY<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Back in the 90\u2019s I used to make compilations of my favourite songs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

The 90\u2019s were a totally amazing decade for music, from Jane\u2019s Addiction, to Prodigy, the whole decade just rocked out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There were dozens of amazing bands and hundreds of totally kick arse tracks. In those days the only difficulty of making compilations was that we had to record them onto cassettes, either playing each song in full from a record, which had to be spotless, because any dust would make noises, or in full from a CD.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1998 everything changed, when we got our first decent computer (which cost $5000!) and that had a CD burner. From that point on compilations got a whole lot faster and easier.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It never occurred to me back then, that only 10 years later it would get hard to do compilations again because there would be so little music I would like.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather than trying to remember what I was into retrospectively – here is what I was actually listening to back then \u2013 this is my 2000\u20132005 compilation CD \u2013 HOT BABOON ACTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n
