90’s Sample CDs & vengeance essentials!
In the early 90s there was such a thing as a sample CD and this is how a lot of people would get there sample libraries.
Some of these sample CDs were extremely influential in shaping music in the 90s and 00’s and are still used to this day such as
Zero-G - Datafiles 1-3
Polestart Magnetics
The X-Static Goldmine
Zero-G Ambient
Spectrasonics - Distorted Reality 1
Creative Essentials - Jungle Frenzy
Ueberschall - Housework
Best Service - Horny Clubsounds
Zero-G - Planet Of The Breaks
Vengeance - Essential Clubsounds 1
Vengeance are also a very influential company when it comes to samples amongst other things.
The Essentials packs by Vengeance are still sought after today and used by a lot of artists as they offer a certain sound palette for genres of the time such as Trance, Eurodance, House, Techno!
Thankfully quite a lot of the sample cd’s from the 90s and most of the vengeance packs people want are available on Internet Archive and can be downloaded for free!

I would highly recommend the Ueberschall packs along with the Zero-G Datafiles as a few must have packs from the sample cd’s!
Enjoy! :)
