God I really wanted to like this and HU managed to get previews up for once also (32 of 40).
Plus points;
- Sensible pricing (Al storm please take note)
- Previews being available
- Dual ownership as normal
Drawbacks;
- Doesn't sound like the best Fracus & Darwin can achieve
- HU seem to have insisted disk 2 is a pop disk again.

Got this the other day. I'll give it a solid 8 out of 10. Enjoyed the Fracus & Darwin mix as per, different to a lot of the mainstream stuff you hear. Mike Reverie mix is decent, but not so many new tracks.
Drawback of the single tracks.... Quite a few of the tracks on the Mike Reverie mix are radio edits. I'm guessing it could be down to licensing issues?
Other than that as you said, priced cheap enough.
?15 for high quality single tracks (25 - 30 I'd guess at because of the radio edits), isn't so bad either. |

That's pretty shit if they are edits because the description says "full length tracks" |
| Alex Threat |
Sorry, There is only 3 actually. They are tracks that are already released too:
Man On The Moon (Radio Mix) - Darren Styles & Stonebank
Neon Hearts (Radio Mix) - Darren Styles Feat. PollyAnna
Wait For Me (Radio Edit) - Callum Higby |

I'm a little surprised they keep giving the 2nd disc to that slow whiny hardstyle sound instead of the loads of amazing frenchcore/gabber being produced all over the place. |

I'd like to see a second disc of just J-Core , Japanese producers are putting out so much good stuff lately! |

The same thing could be said about CD1 though. "It's always just Fracus & Darwin"
I presume the deal was "One CD with HU's rules and Second CD with Slammin's rules" |

It also says on the website

*As always, this purchase guarantees all the full length tracks from the album too. However there are a handful of titles where a licence for the 'Extended Mix' was simply not made possible, and only 'Radio Edits' could be licensed. So it's basically... 35 full length tracks, and 4 radio versions.

| Alex Threat |
Yeah, you are right. There are only 3 tracks are listed as radio edits in the folders. But I'm guessing you could count "drowning in your love" as a radio edit or intro version... So yeah, there are 4 all together including this track |

Yeah got my copy about 2 weeks ago but haven't got round to listening to it yet, listened to fracus & darwins mix on the 15 year anniversary album the other day, some quality tunes on there, and I actually thought to myself "wanna compare this mix to hardcore heaven 7" i'll find out shortly enough  |

I've listened to both CDs 3 or 4 times now and both are great, showing you the modern flavours of this genre.
Can't complain about any of it. |
| warped_candykid |
I definitely enjoyed CD 2 more, but is it really UK Hardcore? Just seems like UK Hardcore inspired Hardstyle. |
| Winterlake |
It's 160Hardcore, that seems to be the preferred term being knocked about, Reverie/Mike Enemy are def at the front of this sound in the UK. |

Meanwhile, the big boys are actually making bangers
No idea why we can't get mixes/comps of stuff like this.
You know, shit we could actually sweat and stomp too?

No way lad, i thought fracus & darwins mix was pretty good, lots of 90's happy hardcore sounding tracks etc, right up my street! But in saying that after a couple of listens in the car, cd 2 is alright, couple of shite ones and maybe a we bit to slow in places but can listen to the odd time, but def cd 1 for me, but each to there own i suppose. |
