NPR recounts the history of the electronia craze of the 90s. I remember very distincly catching the Crystal Method in Albuquerque and having them blow me away. The super DJ trance mix was the bomb in those days too - the first Northern Exposure compilation by Sasha & Digweed changed my life for a while.
I still have a weakness for this type of music, although I never got into Fatboy Slim and Prodigy; I was more of an Orbital, Orb, Moby, Trance Europe Express ambient house kinda guy. But the Block Rockin' Beats era was a hellofa lot of fun.
For more of this kind of electronica nostalga, check out Simon Reynolds' Generation Ecstasy.
