As the 90s came to a close, the business of music began to change profoundly. New technology allowed artists to record and produce their own music and music videos, and the internet became a free-for-all distribution platform for musicians to promote themselves to audiences across the world.

Curious to see what might emerge, I thought it might be interesting to make a word cloud out of all the reviews Technicolor Ultra Mall has received. In no particular order, here’s my favorites.
