I bought this compilation after my boyfriend downloaded some of its tracks from the internet. I enjoyed the tracks that I had listened to very much and at £5 it was a bargain! Especially as there are 56 tracks, which works out at about 11p per track. The compliation has three discs; CD1 mixed by Stu Allan; CD2 mixed by DJ Seduction and CD3 is a mix of bootlegs. Some of the artists included are: Sy & Unknown, Darren Styles and DJ Stormtrooper. The CD design is typical of its genre; a scantily clad raver girl. I certainly wouldn't buy the CD based on its cover design as I do not particularly enjoy looking at it! The track list is as follows:
1. With Every Heartbeat - Visa 2. Weekend (Never Never) - Al Storm 3. Tonight - Darwin & Alison Wade 4. Holding On 4 U - Visa 5. Don't Go - Long, Robbie & Stormtrooper/Kristy 6. Fly Away With Me - Allan, Stu & Barley 7. Feels So Good To Be Alive - Ibiza Knights

Outerlimits - In-Effect & Miss Special K/Andy L. 14. Until The Rain - Darwin & Andy L. 15. Red Alert - D-Lyte & MC Knight 16. Panic 2007 - Druid & Stormtrooper 17. Turn It Up - Al Twisted & DJ JFX/Vicky Fee 18. Can't Hold Back - JAKAZiD

CD1 CD1, in my opinion, has a disappointing opening. As the disc comes to a close, however, I find some tracks with more substance, more energetic and less poppy. Red Alert (DJ Stormtrooper vs. DJ-D-Lyte) and Panic 2007 (Druid & Stormtrooper) are particularly good. I think that this CD is more consistent than CD2 in that all of its tracks are good and there are fewer tracks that, when listening to, I would purposefully skip over. However, there are fewer songs that I would pick out to listen to.
CD2 CD2 opens brilliantly with Sy & Uunkown's 'What a Great Drug'. Perhaps a slightly controversial track - lyrics include references to cocaine. A great track nevertheless, which is a great one to dance to. Definitely a great opener. Until about track 8, the songs are all awesome; I find it marks where the disc starts to crumble. I do enjoy The Takedown (Dougal & Gammer), Energise (Sedders) as much as the first few tracks, however I hardly listen to the others.
CD3 For a bootlegs CD, this disc is brilliant. These are all fun remixes of songs you've probably already heard of, just more danceable! Some of my favourites are Tainted Love, The Simpsons and Cheater (Stormtrooper remix)
Overall, the compliation is excellent, as long as your taste features fast beats and if you want to party, this CD is for you! It always gets me in the mood to dance. I reccomend this compliation to anyone who loves hardcore already, or if you want to start listening. Excellent mixed with strobe lights, UV lights and lots of energy! However, If you're not a fan of the genre, it will just sound annoying and repetitive to you, so be warned.
