Hardcore Nation 2009 - Various Artists

Hardcore Nation - Good CD for any Hardcore Fan

Advantages: Good Selection of Tracks and Plenty of them, Would appeal to most Hardcore Fans
Disadvantages: The only CD i still listen to regularly is CD3

I'm not the biggest fan of uk hardcore, but this album blew me away! I listened to it multiple times when I first bought it. CD1 and CD2 are good, if you like lots of uplifting vocals and trance riffs then you'll love both. My favorite is CD3, much more banging. Consistent beats, Much less uplifting and far fewer cheesy vocals - even then, the more uplifting tunes were consistently high quality , my favorite tune from the whole set being Ham - Jump 2 Da Groove (CD3, Track 4). I liked it so much I went straight out and bought it on Vinyl. Another highlight of CD3 is Cally & Juice - All you B*stards (Track 12). Altogether, a banging CD for any level of Hardcore Fan! Good mixing and Track selection, Good Crisp Sound. Disc 1 Gammer - Let It Go (Hardcore V.I.P Mix) Sy & Unknown - Caught Up In Your Love Insight - Only Your Love (Scott Brown ...

Hed Kandi: The Mix 2009

Advantages: If you want a very generic mix CD this could be for you.
Disadvantages: Many tracks are either remixes of commerical hits, or at least 4 years old.

Having long been a fan of the Hed Kandi brand, and of funky house music I decided to reluctantly purchase 'The Mix 2009'. My reluctance came from reading the tracklisting on the back of the Album - Shakedown 'At Night', X-Press 2 'Lazy' Afro Medusa 'Pasilda' and others are all relatively old tracks. If the theme of this album had been similar to the Hed Kandi classics CD in 2006 it would be understandable - but this edition professed to be 'The Mix 2009'. On previous outings the main two CD's always featured the biggest tracks of the year and nothing else - a sort of House Music annual. The 'Chill-out/Wind-Down' themed third CD each time had previously been the only disc to feature 'classic house'. The Mix 2009 certainly isn't and if a general overview of 2009 in house music is what you're after then perhaps it would be better to look ...
