I think in this forum, Thumpa was telling about 10 non-sold copies... If you want it, try and grap it!

So you specify your fapping hands as a pet. Interesting! 
I'd add a photo as well, but my computer can't read chips.

Got mine at the beginning of last week. Wanted to give it a proper listen before I posted anything. So here are my thoughts if anyone cares ;P
Blood:
Cat Like Theif - When I See The Sunshine (Strife II Remix) - Amazing opening to the album. I love this tune a lot and it's very powerful. Big ups to Strife for doing such an amazing job.
Strife II - Heartfelt - I really enjoy this tune tbh. Love the way it opens and drops. Love the chorus and the production is top notch.
Gavin G - Damage - When I first heard this I said OMG. Love the melody, vocals and sounds used on this one. Gavin G is amazing at breakbeat hardcore and really look forward to hearing more from him.
F&D Feat. Ant Johnson - Summer Breeze 2012 - Not sure why I see a little hate on this song here. Love the vocals and the melody. Very nice happy hardcore sound to it. This is how I like my hardcore!
Sam B - Break It Back Down - Oh my I love it. Nice breaks sound to this one. Very retro and really bring me back to middle school! - Big ups to Sam B
Spyro - You & Me - The dirty dutch drop always gets me. I fckin' love that! The only thing I didn't enjoy are the vocals. Not a big fan of them.
T2Kazuya - A Different View - VERY good track. Great melody, very happy sounding. This tune is great and I don't see why the hate on it. T2Kazuya has amazing production skills.
Haze Ft. Allison McLauchlan - Doesn't Have To Be - Amazing vocals. Great sounds. Very happy hardcore sounding. All around amazing tune!
DJ Shimamura Ft. Ellie - Haha, its Shimamura do I have to say more? Vocals are amazing. This song makes me feel amazing. Great sounds very happy. This is the kind of tune I'd love to share with my partner. If I had one.
Spyro & Prospect - This Is A Club Track - Pretty decent track. Love the drop and bass. Great job by these two. Only problem is...way too short. Nothing that special and mixing it isn't the more fun thing ever. xP
DJ Shimamura - Everybody's Crazy - Come on! Amazing sample and the way he worked it is great. The melody is amazing and chaotic. Makes me wanna dance! And sometimes this song makes me feel like I'm getting pulled over by the police!
Gammer - Notek - Great job by Gammer. Great makina and happy hardcore feel. Not much to say other than the song works and I love mixing it.
S3RL Ft. Sara - Heh..meh. I'm not as big of fan of S3RL. I enjoy his things like Crazy Ass Bitch & Dealer. But its meh for me...
Sweat:
Al Storm & Nu Foundation - Going Crazy (VIP Intro Mix) - Great way to open up the 2nd CD. Great samples, nice melody. Kick sounds great and overall just an amazing tune. I wasn't sure what kind of Al Storm we were going to get, but this is the Al Storm I enjoy.
Strife II - Heartfelt (Darwin Remix) - Nice remix from Darwin. Drum n Bass sounds really enjoy this one. Both versions work for me.
Little Fella - Nite Life (Chris Ross Remix) - AMAZING breakbeat tune. Very happy sounding and Chris Ross still proves to be amazing producer. (LOVE THE REGGAE SOUNDS!)
Alex BassJunkie - Panik (Gavin G Remix) - This tune is wonderful. Give you a happy feeling then goes to a darker sound of breakbeat. Really plays with my emotions and I enjoy that. Great job!
Sam B - Let's Go Crazy (Haze Remix) - Fckin' tuneage here! Nice retro sounds and very happy vibe from this tune! Love the melody and the sounds used.
Alex BassJunkie - R U Ready? (DJ Shimamura Remix) - I've always loved the R U Ready sample. So much energy with this tune. Love every bit of it and its SHIMAMURA!!!!
Fracus - Never Coming Back (Slipmatt Remix) - Alright...I love the older sounding bassline. Wasn't anything too special to my ears. Still enjoyable.
Peaks & Pinnacle - Dynamo Cookies (Peaks & Pinnacle's VIP) - I never got a copy of the CD with the original so this made me really happy. I LOVE what they have done to it. Seen some hate for it. The dubstepish drop is just purely amazing and doesn't take up the whole track. I LOVE THAT. And the drop is amazing. Great job to both Peaks & Pinnacle for doing such wonderful work.
Haze Ft. Allison McLauchlan - Doesn't Have To Be (Fracus Remix) - Love the sample at the beginning of the tune. Still sounds amazing. Fracus created more energy with his remix and that's just great :D
S3RL Ft. Sara - Feel The Melody (Al Storm Remix) - I enjoy this version more. I'm a huge Gabber fan, but S3RL kicks just don't fit the happy hardcore sound IMO. I understand what S3RL is trying to do, but it doesn't work for me. This was a nice remix.
Stu Infinity - Pure Embrace (Andy Freestyle's Remix) - This song is PURE genius! See what I did there?! Anyway, love the spacey sound and the sample is great. Good job guys!
Peaks & Pinnacle - Sock Rocka (A.B's Evo Remix) - Been waiting for this one. Huge fan of A.B's work! Really nice to see him doing a more Scott Brownish style! Loved this tune off Die Another Day and this is even better ;) Great job Mr. Bailey!
Tears:
Ponder - Pretend You're High - Exactly what I expected from Ponder. Great breakbeat tune very nice intro to the 3rd CD.
Aryx - Sylph - Very uplifting song! Love the trance influence on this freeform tune here. And nice bells :)
Nomad - Lose It (Transcend Remix) -Transcend at it again. I love the synth sound. Well produced and just overall great production! (actually reminds me of some Bonker X/XI tunes.)
jD-KiD - Activa And It Is Written (Douglas Remix) - I love this. I absolutely love this breakdown. The sounds and then the drop. Everything just works perfectly. Very clean sound and nothing is over powered. Amazing job by Douglas on this remix!
Nu Foundation - Le Gr Go Deo - AMAZING!!!! Great vocals. Drops out of nowhere and tickles my ears! Seriously this tune is just...and if you own this CD at 2:37 is where this tune is just amazing. I LOVE THAT SOUND WITH THE BASS OMGGOMGOMGM!!! Fav tune off the album for sure!
Pinnacle vs Metrix & Sci-pher - Lignum - Love the intro to this tune. Great samples. Great hoovers in this one. Nice breakdown. Wonderful uplifting melody. Good job to these three.
Aryx - Nephila (Synthwulf Remix) - Synthwulf! Exactly what I expected from him. Great sounds, amazing kick and cymbals. Great hectic sounds and good synth.
Douglas & Thumpa - Hawaii - I wasn't sure what to think during my first listen. I can hear Douglas and I can hear Thumpa. REALLY good tune here in the end. Has a Jungle feel with the Douglas Freeform style. AMAZING TUNE!
Aryx - Chaldea (DJ Fury Remix) - Good song with great hoover effects. Amazing breakdown. Overall a great Freeform tune.
Andy Freestyle - Immortal (Gabber Mix) - Okay just because it doesn't sound like Neophyte doesn't mean this isn't Gabber! Great little mix here. Original tune is good one as well. Great job.
Andy Freestyle - Party Crashin' Killing Machine (The Speed Freak's Freakform Remix) - Oh my wasn't expecting this piece of work! Great remix from Speed Freak. Love the speed and the energy! One of my favs!
Betwixt & Between - Butagoya Shinkansen - Very nice ambient tune. Great way to end the final CD right after a crazy song. Enjoyed this tune here and good work to them.
Final Thoughts:
Overall I thought this was a great release from Rebuild Music. This is the highlight of the year for me so far. I waited a long time to get my hands on this and in the end I wasn't disappointed. I actually didn't listen to much of the previews as I wanted this to be a surprise and It was. GREAT JOB OLLY!! The artwork is AMAZING. The presentation of the album itself is just great! A lot of work went into this compilation and I appreciate it. Thanks Thumpa.
I hope you enjoy what I wrote which was mainly just the same thing over and over. I love hardcore so everything is enjoyable to me! BYE.

Probably one of the best dj friendly hardcore albums ever released. Up there with Fracus and Darwins 2 albums.
Has something for everyone. Break Beats, Hardcore Techno, House Edged Hardcore, Trancey Vocals, Freeform. First two discs are probably my favourites. And the Hard stuff at the end of disc 3 is really good. Only thing I would change is more Harder stuff on disc 3 instead of so much freeform. Maybe make it half Freeform half Hardcore Techno on tears as there is already a Freeform album that you release. Still an all round wicked album though, well done!!
Some of my favourite tunes would have to be
SPYRO - YOU & ME
SAM B - BREAK IT DOWN
FRACUS - NEVER COMMING BACK (SLIPMATT REMIX)
SPYRO & PROSPECT -THIS IS A CLUB TRACK
GAMMER - NOTEK
STRIFE - HEARTFELT (DARWIN REMIX)
SAM B - LETS GO (HAZE REMIX)
ANDY FREESTYLE IMMORTAL (GABBER MIX)
