CD 1 is terrible, poor tunes and poor mixing. CD 2 is terrible, poor tunes and poor mixing. CD 3 has 1 good tune in my opinion which is Dirty Box.
1 good tune out of 47 is not a good strike rate really is it? I really would advise against buying this shite, it's never going to be played again. I'm embarrassed to own it.
How many more Phatt Bass remix's do we need? None of them compare to the original, another On the Move remix, woohoo! erm...no, again nothing compares to the original. Another poor attempt at a Lucid remix....I fear I'm going round in circles. Pizzaman - **** off, just **** off. Rock the Party had promise until the vocal hit then it becomes an instant fail. Confusion Girl (Shame Shame Shame) - yeah, shame you where ever written. And that's not even half of what I think about this bollocks. It's worse than Bonkers (18).
Mine has already been shipped so I guess I am stuck with it now, along with Slammin' Vinyl: Absolute Hardcore 2. Honestly, I think we all knew that the mixing wasn't going to be top notch. Looking at the tracklist, it would have been better to see more original tracks than remixes, but, I liked the samples on the Squad-E disc, and I REALLY want Dirt Box, Hardcore Slut, and Face in The Crowd. Are the tracks on the Hixxy disc recorded at 320kbs?

Some of those clips sound alright but alot of it sounds crap and dated. (It aint 2005 no more) The new version of Marc Sm,ith- Pump up the noise sounds shit. Whats the point of remixing it if it is going to sound shit. In 10 years time will people play that version in 'Classic' sets like they do with the 1995 version? I don't think so...
I will have some new tunes soon, just you wait!

Like the disc one (Re-Con) intro and I love the track 'Lucid - I Can't Help Myself' but the remix on this CD was crap compared to an unknown one I've heard on di.fm before. The only track that truly stands out to me on this CD that I really like is 'Dougal & Gammer - Don't Say Goodbye' on disc 3, track 2. The rest range from maybe slightly above average to complete commercial crap. There is nothing truly amazing on a similar scale to some of the tracks found on Hardcore Underground 3 or Crush on Hardcore 4 on HTID2. Overall I would say this was on par with AATW's fake Bonkers which is not great. Thankfully I got to check this CD out before purchasing... which is a good thing, cause I wouldn't waste my money on it for the few decent tracks which I can either purchase singularly or will most likely appear on future compilations.

"Dont Say Goodbye" has to be one of their not so great tracks!!! It has a strong melody, but then it's just too much trance influence like D&G's earlier tracks together!

I'm not saying it's one of their best tracks ever but it's the best (in my opinion) on HTID2, so what does that say for the rest of the album? I do like a bit of trancecore to be honest though, before I found happyhardcore I was very much into trance.

CD 1 aint great i must agree. There aint much new in the tracks and they aint great either which is a shame. It's the same old thing of the DJ putting only his own substandard work on the cd although 4 of the tracks will make it on to my ipod
CD 2 Is dire! such a shame from a guy who once brought us "lost without you"
CD 3 happy to have a full version "of face in the crowd" also i like "ready 2 go"
Overall pretty shit! but not as bad as the helter skelter one
