Alongside albums like Blur's Parklife, Massive Attack's Blue Lines, Pulp's Different Class, Portishead's Dummy, and Radiohead's OK Computer, the original Trainspotting soundtrack stands firmly as one of the era-defining records of the '90s. British culture was experiencing a real boom at the time with the establishment-baiting work of Young British Artists like Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst, the rise of influential designers like John Galliano and Alexander McQueen, and the advent of Brit-pop. All of which led to a swath of self-congratulatory headlines declaring the return and rise of "Cool Britannia." In addition to Danny Boyle's blistering film, the Trainspotting soundtrack seemed to distill a great deal of what made the '90s such a thrilling decade. The heroin chic aesthetic (troublingly popular at the time) was matched by a track listing that resurrected masters of the past while celebrating contemporary rave culture and guitar music. It wasn't just the soundtrack to a film; it was the soundtrack to the hedonism of the final chapter of the 20th century.
