The '92 vs. '02 Collection is a 2002 EP by Guillermo Scott Herren released under the alias of Prefuse 73. It was released by Warp in 2002.
Unlike his previous album Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives, Herren styles was described by Exclaim! as "opting for more electronic-based noises, rather than chopped up hip-hop beats" while AllMusic called it a "calmer and more collected approach to instrumental hip hop".
The '92 vs. '02 Collection was released in by Warp on June 24, 2002.[1] The album was released on compact disc, vinyl and as an internet download.
Pitchfork Media gave the EP a 7.7 out of 10 rating, noting that the album was not a retread of his previous LP Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives and not a sudden change of style either.[2] The review highlighted the tracks "Desks.Pencils.Bottles" and "When Irony Wears Thin" while finding the final two tracks as "slightly less ear-catching." PopMatters praised the album specifically citing the track "Love You Bring" as "essential", only finding an issue with the releases brevity.[3] Exclaim! echoed PopMatters statement of "Love You Bring" as a highlight.[4] AllMusic referred to the release as a "pretty darn good one", but also found the album too short.
