Tugtugan Pamorningan: The Philippine Music Scene [1990-1999]

by Susan Claire Agbayani

This anthology documents what happened in the year 1994 when all record companies went on a signing frenzy, in their hope to duplicate, or ride on the runaway success of pop-rock band Eraserheads. It wasn’t until much, much later, in future decades, when their immense contribution to the local music industry would be recognized not just by the audience, but by their own peers, too.

It also documents who the major players/performers/bands were, and what the major venues and concerts were in the 1990s, and the environment or millieu where they lived and breathed music.

Time capsule siya ng 90s music. Ang saya magsoundtrip while reading the articles written during those times. It's also interesting to look up kung ano na nangyari sa mga musikerong ito ngayon. Natatawa ako dun sa isang article na meron daw doubts kung magiging successful ba yung 2nd album ng eheads dahil nga sa sophomore jinx. Medyo nabitin lang ako may ibang bands na hinanap ko like Rivermaya or yung hip hop scene kaya? Naalala ko may away pa noon ng Metal vs. HipHop lol. Nakakamiss nga talaga ang panahon noon na wala pang internet, ai, social media hay those were the days..
