Strong concept, really looking forward to getting hold of this! :) |
_Jay_ |
All four clips are absolutely top-drawer so far man. Really excited for this.
You three boys combining is definitely the best way forward for trying to make Freeform a bit more visible again. You and A.B teaming up on the old b2b's is working nicely as well.

Commenting on the 3 first clips
Alek Szahala: Sounds typical Alek. This should sound nice pitched up to 180BPM, or preferbly 190 ;)
A.B remix: What the hell did he do to it? :(
Transcend & Cyrax remix: not really my cup of tea so I can't say much |

UK meets Japan, powerstomp meets freeform, Riko meets M-Project! Been hammering this in gigs lately and it goes off everytime, something different!
Jacket please do not ever pitch Alek Szahala tunes made at 160bpm to 190bpm, they are meant to be played slow and low baby! |

Sounds really hit and miss TBH, I'll have to hear more clips. |

I wish you would stop saying it's out because it isn't. If it was "out" it would be dispatched or in customers hands, what you have a pre-order. Out means you can buy it now and it would be on its way which it isn't and hasn't been these last couple of weeks it's been alleged to be "out". |

Thank fuck it isn't mixed!
There's surely gonna be dozens of mixes with these tracks knocking about before long. |
Samination |
Currently listening to CD1 at work. Can't say what I actually feel about the tracks so far. It sounds like something I'd expect from Stamina Records. Oh well, still more than 2 CDs to listen to.
(also, I migth change my oppinion when I get the chance to play the tracks at 180-185BPM instead) |

Still need to buy this. Disappointed with myself |

To be honest, Lucia just passed me by, but then it aint your fault, I am just not fond of that kind of freeform |

Won't regret it, Deano - a very strong release.

Only listened once to the album. I can't say I'm overly fond of it :( IT's definitly not an album for people who, like me, is still stuck in pre-2008 styled Freeform. |
Thumpa |
Our album is in 2016, we skipped 2015 and went into the future!
Even more gone today, this won't last long! bit.ly/FreeformFamily to order! |

Don't know if you're a fan or not, but I managed to convince Alex Ephexis to make possibly one last track for my next EP, so if you want it you're gonna have to pick up all my other rubbish tracks at the same time :)
|
Samination |
Ephexis, that's a name i havent seen i a while. I have ~25 tracks by him, but barely remember any of them :( Well that's giving me a reason to re-listen to them :) |
Mad Max |
Another good album :) |
Samination |
Just my quick review:
A very strong release for those who like today's Freeform. But for those who either like the darker stuff, or the more harder/energic stuff, it's sadly a nono. But for the price of 1 album you get 3 so it's not a total loss, and I will probably use a few tracks anyways |
Thumpa |
Less than a 3rd of stock left! |

When are any of Douglas' tracks going to have a chorus
I kid I kid, this release is ridiculously good.
Thumpa: depending on how many more releases you have left in you, any plans to make a sort of return to the format of the earlier Rebuild stuff, with a broader selection that just freeform? Nothing at all wrong with freeform, merely curious. The old CDs had some absolute gems on them. |
lurker |
Heck, not even the first few CDs! I wish I spent more time buying than moaning when it was just the digitals...
Anyway, I've gone through the first disc so far. Still not a fan of that Shadow of a Memory remix, and I think the chorus in Quadraphonics lost a little energy with the remaster, but it's pretty solid. UVB-76 is so sick! |
Thumpa |
I think ReBuild as a UK hardcore label has ended, I don't like a LOT of the cheesy hardcore about at the moment and ultimately the label follows my tastes as it is my baby, I would never release music I don't like. I do love a lot of music from F&D, Gammer, Shimamura, Prospect, M-Project, Al Storm etc (coincidentally mostly people that were on the label when I did 'hardcore' albums) but they all have their own thing going on now.
Never say never, however I think ReBuild has done far better as a freeform label and has had a much more positive effect on the music, more than it ever could in UK hardcore where there's more labels, more crap music, more dramas and more terrible producers! I do release bits of other stuff though, slower stuff, breaks, ambient...whatever sounds good! |
Captain Triceps |
What about some sort of side label for the 'different' hardcore you do like?
Would you ever re-release the old digitals in one batch? |
Vladel |
I used to like how rebuild albums would have some happy style big kicks tracks on there back in the day like the slipmatt remix of never coming back. |
Thumpa |
100 copies left! |

I wonder this too, I still badly want stuff like the original Dynamo Cookie and The Darkness, as well as Noofie's "Why Do You Hate Me?" remix. :O Honestly a CD with all the old digitals would be cool. |
djDMS |
I'm sure compared to a lot of labels, Rebuild is old enough for a Greatest hits album ;-) |
