Martin guides us through his favourite music from the 1990s. With tracks from Blur, Fugees, James Taylor Quartet and Beck.

A self-confessed music obsessive, Martin has dug deep into his record collection to bring listeners the tracks that mean something to him. He’ll also be taking a look back at the stories and cultural moments from each decade, picking a soundtrack from one of his favourite films each day, and selecting an album from each decade that he thinks deserves an extra bit of light. There’ll also be some interview and session highlights from the BBC archive to enjoy as he moves through the years.
