Fracus' solo stuff has never quite hit the mark for me, it's generally "quite good", but All Night is absolutely fantastic!
Often thought the same about Fracus.
He is still a very good DJ, but comparing anyone to Darwin they will always lose.
Overall very pleased with this album. I think Jakazid & Shimamura should have their own mix on HU 7.

Giving most of the CDs a few listens now.
CD1 Scott Brown & Al Storm
I found this mix hit and miss. It has some very nice tracks but overall I didn't find the mix amazing. As a result some track skipping has occurred on repeat listens. The Endymion track is very nice as well as the new Scott Brown stuff.
CD2 Fracus & Darwin
It pains me to say this as I love Fracus & Darwin's work but this mix was my least favourite. Possibly because I really enjoyed their HU5 mix with Brisk and it didn't live upto that CD. There are a couple of cracking tracks in this mix however, such as the Brisk remix of Love of my Life and possibly the best Klubfiller track I've heard.
CD3 CLSM & Entity
I love breakbeats more than any other style so this mix was always going to please. Some really awesome tracks. Most notable are the Screwface remix, You Are Not Alone, Say Goodbye, Soul Fever and Need You More.
Not really a bad track on this mix. The only negatives for me are the fact there are a few older tracks on there and some of the mixing/transitions felt lacklustre or forced to fit all the tracks in.
CD4 Thumpa & Obie
I was sceptical about this mix, mainly because I wasn't sure what to expect; as Thumpa has really pushing the freeform at the moment but also having been into most styles at some point and with Obie pushing his DnB Drop Ya Jaw stuff.
However after a few listens I love this CD. For me it's the best mixed all of the CDs, nice transitions, breathers, build up and energy. Plus there's some really nice tracks scattered throughout the mix. Namely Paradise, The Catalyst and Fulla Culture. Also the Twins Artcore track at the end is pretty epic, it might not be for everyone but for me that style is the true essence of spacey trippy techno music.
Overall a solid comp, and definitely the best hardcore album of the year for me.

I think this album is climbing up to my #1 spot of all HUs... Seriously unbelievable good stuff on there and every second day I open up my eyes to a new track that I fall in love with.
