Teknotribe (Compiled By Nick Grater) - Various Artists

Advantages: One of the best mixed Hard House compilations out there. Cost around 11.99.
Disadvantages: Be careful when you start pogoin' around your room!!

...of the highlights are tracks by Ingo 'Like This', Nick Lunn 'Wait a Second' and Nick Rafferty's own 'Jumpin'/Pumping' along with well known favourites Storm 'Time to Burn', Praga Khan 'Injected with a Poison' and B.K 'Ready for this'. Forget your 'Hard House Nation' 1,2,3's or 'Euphoria' compilations and head for the real deal. For similar alternatives you could try the Tidy Trax 'Milked' or Nucleuz compilations. If your a dedicated clubber watch out for these two names, Nick Rafferty and Andy Farley, as they will be appearing at various promotions nights and believe me they're well worth seeing live tearing up the decks!!...

Advantages: Good for getting ready for a night out
Disadvantages: Too commercial

...Hard House Nation 2 is mixed, like its predecesor, by Lisa Pin Up and Andy Farley.Some of the tracks on this are also featured on Hard House Nation 1 (wonder when the third will come out?), and most, if not all will be featured on some other bog standard compilation. To be fair, there are a few crackin tracks on this CD, such as Rachel Auburn-Screwdriver, Allnighters-Black is Black, and Ollie Jaye-Feel so Good, but this is really no different to most other compilations on the shelves. If you want something decent and a bit less commercial, try a compilation by Nick Rafferty and again Andy Farley, called "The Harder they Come". Farley demonstrates a more bangin, less commercial set and even includes a track by the super-duper R R Fierce. Alternatively, you could try one of the six Nukleus compilations, if you still want to hear the tunes... Read review

Advantages: Great tracks, great mixing
Disadvantages: ANOTHER Ibiza album!!!

...I received this compilation CD as a birthday present, and after initial hesitations I listened to it and found this compilation to be a lot better than others I've heard!! The tracks are ones which you HAVE actually heard of, ie many are or have been in the charts, and the mixing is top notch as well!! The only thing bad about it is that its yet another Ibiza compilation album!!! Recommended for most, especially for 'clubbers'. This is an ideal compilation to get you in the mood for going out!!...
