Pure disappointment.
I bought CLXH7 last year, and it was my first hardcore album I bought. I was literally blown away. The tunes on there were top quality!
Number 8 - nicer girl on the cover, but shite music.
~180bpm is too fast for mid range bass wobbles. It worked well on Gammer's 'Major Panic', but when you throw shedloads of these tunes in one mix? It doesn't work. Hardcore is kind of meant to be uplifting.
CD1: Pretty bad, about 4 fairly good songs on it. Even they weren't excellent.
CD2: Sorry Breezey, but it's utter shite. Go back to stuff like Rise Again!
CD3: Not too bad. I've gained respect for Hixxy and Re-Con, they're not pushing everything into the wobbly stuff. Unmixed though, disappointment :(
I wouldn't buy it personally. No Al Storm songs :(
Even Klubfiller is doing the wobbly tunes....
first you spend 13 pounds on it, and then you say you didn't (personally wouldn't) buy it?
And if Clubland XH 7 is your first hardcore combilation, you got alot of backtracking to do ;)

Sounds very similar to something I read on wikipeadia a while back. How the Breakbeat Hardcore scene of the South oh the UK hated the Bouncy Techno scene of the North during the early days and vice versa. And they would'nt book each other. Kinda stupid really, it's just music.
I'm not crazy about the whole Electro thing, but seems like it will end up being just another genre in the Hardcore scene. Won't take over, but won't die either. Will be just another type of Hardcore that is played by djs at raves. Means more variety so can't be all bad. Nothing more boring than hearing the same shit all night.
It's like woman, I like black woman, Asian women, Hispanic woman, White woman, Tall woman, Short, woman, Fat woman, Skinny women lol. Would get boring if they all looked the same.

Starting Rock times it's always repeating.
Time of Rock: "Nowadays music is so bad. That rock is just noise and nothing more. Nobody listens to good casual music anymore."
Early times of EDM: "This Electronic is not even music. Nobody listens to those good Rock stuff."
2012: "Electronic genres are colliding. I hate commercial House minimal drops. I miss those old Electronic times."
10 years later: "I hate this modern popular 'artist1' style. It's so commercial and indifferent. I miss those old days of House minimal drops from 2012."

Your very right, people don't like change, as much as I love oldskool dutch hardcore and wish it would come back, times change. It does'nt really bother me the duby minimal stuff in hardcore. As long as the crowds keep going sick to it, which they seem to be. Should'nt really matter.

It's a bit sad to see less and less tracks on CXH being written in higher keys, with blatantly uplifting melodies. That used to be their forte, and part of what got them such mixed reviews on geek forums. There are still some like Satellite, Bright Like The Sun, Im Sorry and Open Your Eyes (the one from CD3), but they're rather few and far between!
