So Ministry of Sound have decided to release an album, called Hardcore - The Classics with Sy, Dougal & Billy Daniel Bunter & Slipmatt. I'm guessing it's going to be very much like the Hardcore Classics album which had Dougal, Slipmatt & Billy Daniel Bunter.
If it does follow the same idea as the Hardcore Classics album did, I'm interested to see how the tracklists will very. Seems to me that when making an old skool happy hardcore CD they tend to stick to using some of the same tracks like Toytown and Devotion, tracks which everyone knows. As long as they don't re-use some of the same tracks, I'll be happy. |

That's why i don't really buy Old Skool albums anymore as you pretty much get the same tracks all the time. |

I would like to hear an album with
Calypso Summer[97 Remix]"
Meadowland
and that elephant track by Cheddar? Some rare, ultra-cheesy tracks would be nice :) |
| pinkdevil16 |
wil defo buy this one sounds intersting and i enjoyees the hardcore classics album so if it is anything like that then should be good. |
| Watson. |
I'll probably have most of the tunes on this scattered about, but I'll probably still buy it. It all depends by what they define to be "classics". |

I have an album with them on. Fusion 'A Point To Be Made'. Haven't heard it for a while but i'm sure their both on there.
Not the cheddar track though. |

agreed! so its took them 11 months to think of this! (apart from all the cheap albums they've released all year!) If this album has original rare classics, I'll "show my arse in burtons window"

Not the cheddar track though.
I FINALLYA found me a copy of Hardcore Millennium Party, and it has that Fusion vol.1 & 2 on it, but its indexed as 1 loooooong track. It has the Fade & Bananaman remix of "Calypso Summer" and the album mix of "Meadowland"

^^ Not a bad album that, the Stompy & Breeze CD is really good |
| latininxtc |
I more than likely won't be buying this album. i guess i'm one of the only ones that don't like the old skool mixes done by other hardcore classics, such as the helter skelter ones. i've heard the previews, and i honestly found those to be so annoying. but who knows i'll have 2 wait and c if these previews impress me |
| 95_was_the_time |
well i've just seen the tracklist on the home/news page.
'ohdear' were my first thoughts. |
| 95_was_the_time |
oh and let me continue by saying, for the people outside the scene? public joe, they're going to think happyhardcore (as a style of music) consists of 10 or so tunes only. |

Out of ALL the songs available, they pick the SAME ONES! |
| latininxtc |
well the 1st and last 4 of the 1st album are huge anthems, but at the same time i've seen them in many compilations. but i am actually interested in gettin this for the other 2 albums, as they have a lot of my favorite songs. i still will wait for the preview, but imo it doesn't look like a horrible album |
| Triquatra |
lol, i think you can officially "sell out" to hardcore now :P
cd 3...a classics cd??? |
| pigz |
its all the same stuff thats been done before i like the songs, dont get me wrong but im startin to get fed up with all thease classics albums why dont they do something different, break away from the crowd or maby MOS are worried that there already huge profits might fall by 1%!!! i really am starting to hate MOS!! |
| Craig Switchback |
Absolute disgrace to MOS and all the DJ's involved. Same tracks over and over again....... |
| Mortis |
After seeing the tracklists for the CD's - what a load of total bollocks. |
| Ken Masters |
02 - Asa & S1 - Makin' Me Wanna Dance (Sy & Unknown Remix)
CLASSIC!!!! I'm not even going to attempt to write this reply but all I can say is i'm very dissapointed with what's happened to our scene & the DJ's need to take a long hard look @ the scene before they churn anymore of these out for nothing more than money.
Time to move aside lads  |
| Craig Switchback |
People like Dougal, Slipmatt, Sy and that have had their time. Really, what are they doing for the Hardcore scene. Churning out any old bollocks, and playing the same shit week in week out. Slipmatt is slightly better, for the MOS albums (Hardcore / Raverbreaks) but still.....

Why do you care? Sad ****. |
| Vladel |
The tracklist is weak and many of the tracks have been on the earlier helter skelter cds :( perhaps they would have been better with some of the 95-98 tracks you heard on tape packs but never knew the name of. Atleast then it would be something different and might actually sell a few.
I'm not gonna buy a cd of old tracks when i have maybe 75% of em already |

Also...think about what a major role Al Storm, Brisk & Ham, Sy & Unknown, Dougal, Hixxy Slipmatt, & Billy Bunter, along with Scott Brown, Styles, & Breeze have had in the Hardcore scene. If they were to just leave the scene, there would not be many artist left to carry on the sound at a public level, and there would be a dramatic loss in cd material. Cd mixes would consist of only the artist's own material (much like what Scott Brown's mixes were for a while). Gammer would be a big name to live on, so would Kurt & Joey Riot, and a few other artists who came along after 2002, but it would be hard to push the sound without the more bigger names. I am still all for new producers, dont get me wrong here, but I think you should give the pioneers a little more respect, even though some of their material may not be 100% original or "up to standards". I am loving what Dougal & Gammer are coming out with. |

Wont be buying it its just the same os other classic cd's nothing inspiring all overplayed tunes and theres tunes on there that arent classics so whats that all about?
Hows about we have new upcoming dj's with there tunes never heard being released instead of all these classics heard time n time again please? |

Yep, that's bang on.
Half the songs on CD1 were on the first Hardcore Classics MOS/Helter Skelter CD! it's essentially the same product.

| warped_candykid |
I think I might pick it up. Ya, I have a majority of the songs, but like PinkDevil, another one for my collection! |
| warped_candykid |
I just hope the tracks on cd 1 are not shortened. I would love to hear that last happy punch in "Steamtrain"! It was cut out on the United In Hardcore mix. |

The price on HMV is not worth the tracks. |

even though I support Hardcore all the way, I'm happy to say that its not made top 10 in any compilation charts! Its just a waste of money!
To Celebrate a UK genre phenomenon, Ministry of Sound proudly present Hardcore Classics. Three CDs of Hardcore in its purest form. Mixed by a convocation of the biggest and best Hardcore DJs in the business; Bunter, Slipmatt, Sy and Dougal, and featuring nothing but the very best in Classic Hardcore. From tunes that spawned the entire Happy Hardcore phenomenon through to bleeding edge, modern crowd pleasers. Includes all the essential classics and new exclusive remixes of some modern classics.
The life of a Hardcore DJ was relentless. All night circumnavigations of the UK’s motorway network became common as the most popular artists raced from venue to venue. The likes of Sy, Dougal, Force, Styles, Brisk, Unknown, Luna-C, Marc Smith, UFO, Billy “Daniel” Bunter, Sharkey, Seduction, Vibes, Scott Brown, Ramos, Supreme, Hixxy, Energy and “The Godfather of Hardcore”, DJ Slipmatt all becoming regular features on any self respecting flyer. MCs, forever coaxing the whistle posse, became an equally integral part of the Hardcore experience. This 3 cd set documents the period of the rise of Hardcore in 1994 and celebrates 15 years of the true dedicated following of Hardcore.
Hardcore till we die? We certainly think so !
Well not with that tracklist! |
