Soundtrack for the film Terminal City Ricochet on Alternative Tentacles
Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
The Grunge Years (an anthology from SubPop records)
Tom Waits - Bone Machine
Iron Maiden - No Prayer for the Dying
The Chess Box - 4-disc box set of blues musicians on Chess records
Uncle Tupelo - March 20-24, 1992
Ani Difranco - mix tape my friend Margaret made for me, which drew heavily from Not a Pretty Girl and Out of Range
The Story of Great Music from Time Life Records, 5 box sets from a series of ?, each box containing four vinyl records and a book outlining background/program notes.
