PopMatters is 20 and to celebrate we are looking back at the popular music that defined the year of our birth. Part two covers the most memorable albums from March through June, highlighted by monster hits from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Moby, and Travis.
The French Fantômas films Fantômas, Fantômas Unleashed, Fantômas vs. Scotland Yard and similar crime film projects in Britain, Germany, and the US are related by secret, labyrinthine, diabolical blueprints of unfathomable complication.
