Emfire Collection, The (Mixed, Unmixed And Remixed) [Digipak] - Sasha

Advantages: Excellent Unreleased tunes, A nice unmixed cd
Disadvantages: Shame we wont see half the tracks on vinyl

...Only a few words can sum up this double cd.... "blinding" featuring 2 cd's, 1 of them being mixed and featuring a wide selection of some of the best hardcore tracks which are only featured on this album. The second cd is an unmixed cd, featuring around 11 fully unmixed tracks :D. These can be used by dj's, or if you like hearing the full track with no early mixing Overall this double cd is one of the best hardcore compilations you can buy. If you dont own it already then go and buy it now, even if its just for "black magic, bad magic (gammer remix)" and "lets fly (breeze and styles remix). Any raver/Happy Hardcore fan must have this in their collection... Read review

Advantages: 2 discs of great tunes
Disadvantages: repition of songs.

...This is a great compilation album from the australian based electronic label which has bought us artists such as cut copy. 2 discs give you a mixed and unmixed selection of songs (some repitition on the same discs) the mixed disc is a well composed mix ideal for pre club drinking or in the car. the unmixed disc gives the listener chance to listen to the songs in their entirity. people may recognise some artists such as bloc party as their tracks feature with remixed and edited versions, but more importantly it gives the listener a chance to discover new artists. the album comprises of a mix of indie with a dance feel, and electro based dance-pop. if that sounds like your thing, go for this....

Advantages: Excellent track listing, Perfect production
Disadvantages: Too commercialised, hixxys unmixed cd isnt full tunes

...When i heard about clubland releasing a hardcore compilation i felt a bit sceptical, thinking its just going to be remixes of previous clubland dance tracks, however i was completely wrong. I bought this on the day it was out and am still blasting it out of my speakers now. There are 3 cd's to this compilation. 1 mixed by darren styles, 1 mixed by breeze and 1 unmixed (even though the tracks arent full) bonus hixxy cd. All 3 cd's contain many mainly tracks mainly from "raver baby" record label and some of the most outstanding uk hardcore tracks to date. The disapointment with this compilation was with hixxy's cd. Before it was out i heard his cd was going to be unmixed so i anticipated full tracks. However, although none of the tracks are mixed, they are all cut so before the track ends the next track comes in. Overall... Read review
