P.V.C. is sick. Do you remember/know 35 Cycles that was also on that release? Fcuking MASSIVE.
awesome track that too man, got the vinyl and a tonne more when i got bitten by the kev energy bug a few years back.
his discs on the Hardcore Heaven CD's done it for me and tbh are the reason im still as into Hardcore today. Ive always been a huge fan of the trancecore sound since way back but when they repackaged it as freeform something changed and this incredibly fresh genre was born.
I always thought it was the change in mood that gave Freeform its identity, the constant change between happy and dark, uplifting and downright scary! That seemed to get lost in modern hardcore and was one of the reasons i loved the music so much. Combine this with the constant change in rhythm, 4/4, breakbeat, dnb, and it definitely deserves its name Freeform.

That's because what was once called UK Hardcore is now called Freeform.
I don't follow..

just because a track has a acid line or something that hard dance and freeform uses should be called freeform. even though I have been on the dubcore hate vagon for a while now, I still call it UK Hardcore in the end.
I know Im guilty of calling a few tracks for freeform before, but hell, alot of the makina (from spain) sounds more like uk hardcore a la JD-KiD (I wouldn't call Unforgettable a freeform track just because it's on a freeform album), so alot of stuff are interchangeable nowadays.

Yeah man, I don't think of Unforgettable as Freeform at all. It's basically just Trance at 170.

What passes for Freeform now was once just UK Hardcore.
Hasn't it always been "Oh, it doesnt sound like Hixxy, Styles or Breeze, lets call it Freeform"?

No. Just recently.
I don't agree with that at all. The way I see it is a lot of UK Hardcore from the past 5 years has taken some influence from Freeform.
I'll agree that some Freeform has become very similar these day with similar sounds from tracks gone by but there's still loads of original & out right bizarre stuff being produced which sounds like nothing else that's come before it, what it's all about I suppose.

I always thought it sounded like a another track, but has the vocals "the pressure" or something eerily similar. But I have to say, it's also the kind of freeform I like
