What I'm listening to today: "You're Not Alone", Olive
Eventually the "dance music" era of the 90s (soft rock radio will play some techno) gave way to the "electronica" era (rock radio will play some techno). Right on the border in late 1996 dropped this lovely europop song with some legitimately hype sampler work. Listen to this in stereo (headphones or whatevs).
Bonus: This "lyrics" video upload was mis-encoded and starts glitching interestingly about 20 seconds in
