Best albums of 1992
West Coast production got its blueprint and hip-hop's center of gravity moved with it, which took the industry two years to notice. Guitar music split between fury and shrugging, and both halves worked, occasionally on the same label.
According to Riffiter listeners, the best album of 1992 is Selected Ambient Works 85–92 by Aphex Twin, rated 4.4/5 by 20 listeners.
