I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

2nd Gen - Irony Is
20 February 2001 | 0:00:00 GMT/UTC

Irony Is is Mancunian Wajid Yaseen's debut album. His music is not 'purely' Techno, Electro, Post Rock, Industrial or Hip-Hop - it is a distorted mix of all these genres. The album opens with And/Or featuring Mau on vocals - a rhythmic track which leads very nicely into slowburn - a bit slower, using similar sounds.

There is a lot of variety in this album, the distorted bass sounds in tracks like And/Or and the guitar and harmonica in .

The music on this album is probably very different to music you have heard before unless you hear a lot of Aphex Twin. It can't be put into a specific genre, it is however worth having a listen to.


4/5
