About the 1990's Music At the end of the 1980's, music had sort of spun itself into a malaise of non-direction. Electronic music had yet to deliver any broader expression, classical artists were still perfect, jazz was all that, R&B became I don't know what, the country music played in the trailer, rappers got rich, pop artists were just popular and an angry, disillusioned faction of a generation was about to change all that. Armed with battalions of new technology amplifiers more clear-sounding and powerful than lightning and thunder, grunge rock rose out of Seattle and empowered a new rock intensity that battered the body and the senses. Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam spawned a musical genre that turned crowds and listeners upside down (literally). Along with them came a cadre of great alternative music: Rage Against the Machine, Primus, Beastie Boys (they never weren't popular) and numerous others.  Some were political, some were just crazy, but it was another amazing creative chapter in the saga of popular music. In the late decade, electronic music began to morph itself through the computer and advanced microprocessor power and showed its great potential and flexibility once again only to fade into the fabric of development. But somewhere in Seattle, in a steel warehouse building on 1st Avenue, the poignant cry of a wailing guitar still pierces the night... Dabek's music was in an almost non-state for most of the decade.  Although the influences of the time seemed powerful, it was more geared to listening and moshing at concerts and getting the feel of what an incredible rush Lollopalooza and other large outdoor music events were. Toward the end of the nineties all that changed. Back into the studio once more, Dabek produced "CurrentWorks", a collection of rather experimental and unusual new pieces, and many other tracks he is currently working to finish.  In addition, in 1999, it was obvious that so many pieces from the past would be lost unless restored and preserved, he set out to gather his life's work and save whatever could save. Not that it mattered that much to the world, it just mattered to him.
