From what I've heard from others he wasn't overpriced at all.

Yeah I'm sure that's the case, was only making a joke in reference to the ridiculous price he's put on these 10 tracks.
I think part of the problem Ham had was that he was in Brisk's shadow. Brisk was always the one known for having great mixing skills and he seemed to get loads of bookings, whereas nobody knew too much about Ham the DJ. Ham has obvious talent in the studio and that was evident in his solo work. Suppose it was a bit like fellow Next Generation producer Vagabond, don't think I ever seen him DJ but always loved his productions.

Had a few too many drinks to read the comments.
I registered my interest to buy this though and here are my reasons.
1. It's bloody DJ HAM. He's a pioneer of the scene, his productions have always been great. Why would this be any different? He can even do DnB, it'l be interesting to see how much of that he puts into these tunes.
2. I'm quite excited of being only 100 people to have this. (I wouldn't pay this much if more had it, even though i've paid for rare dnb of 100 for 25 quid(hardcore is the true love though).)
3. Maybe if we do this, he will do more?
4. I like supporting artists. I fkin love hardcore man, if dj ham needs my money to make a bloody album, have it son, bloody have it, i'll only piss it up against a wall anyway.

You don't need that much money, just make a CD album
Hardcore has changed alot since the NG/BB days and not for the good!
If you want to help poor DJ HAM pay his bills go ahead, a fool and his money are soon parted.

I'm not saying he should do it for nothing, or even next to nothing. I just think it's a little unfair that people who have been fans for years, decades even, can't enjoy the music because it is prohibitively expensive.
Maybe he will put up a free mix or something.
Of course you'll hear the music. Most of the 100 people will feature at least one track in every mix they do until the day they die!
This is exactly why its clear its not aimed at the listeners. The way I see it is it appeals to the DJs looking for some seriously exclusive music &, going by some of his other comments, producers.
Its very easy to be blinded by the asking price but it all depends on what you aim to gain from backing it.
What makes you think any dj's who want exclusives to play need Ham's music? There's more decent tracks out there than ever. There's more producers than ever making quality tracks which means most dj's will know several producers and be able to get pre release exclusives before the masses get them on release date.
As much as I love to see how well Hardcore is doing at the minute, judging by the people who frequent this site, I'm not the only one who understands that the overall standard & quality control has seriously slipped.
There really aren't many Hardcore producers id consider backing in a project like this but Ham is definitely one I have faith in making the whole thing worthwhile.
Combine that with the experience he's gained through his DnB venture, not to mention the new contacts he's gained. So yeah, I'm curious to see what this new project will produce & getting hold of these tracks appeals to me. This may well be something that re-writes the rule books & I'd like to think I helped him in making it happen.
Its sad that the audience will be limited of course, but he clearly feels this is the only way to justify taking this on & I have no reason the believe the guy is in it to make a quick buck.

Well the thing that bugs me the most is the chance to miss a superb track. But no 1 track is ever worth 100 quid. And I had no problems buying a Video Game soundtrack (CD) for +50GBP

I have to agree with what a lot of people have mentioned, it needs to be some sort of physical release. A special edition vinyl with digital copies too would be excellent but a little farfetched. At the very least a CD.
A simple digital download would take something away from what could be a real special release but nothings set in stone yet. That decision will probably make or break it for me.

I'm very curious, almost to the point of just saying "fuck it, it's only a hundred quid".
Maybe if he chucked in his back cat, mixes, older remix packs, and something physical (and I'm counting memory sticks!), just something else to make it that bit more special I'd be more inclined.
He did say people were probably going to club together to buy the tracks, which he doesn't mind so much as long as they don't get leaked. Just mentioning, is all...

i dunno; i think he knocked his head.
how about he plays next HTID or actually does something with Brisk?
too much ****ing money for pretty much nothing.
look how butthurt he gets when someone suggests it will get shared?
" how dare they would **** over their hardcore brothers and sisters " !!!
Huh? we been right here ; where you been; hardcore " brother" ?
havent heard shit from him for years and years; now what? make a few tracks and disappear?
Naw; the hardcore scene has been looking out for itself without Ham; and his obvious lack of love for it. That is what i get from reading this ordeal.
Ham > Hamillton. Always.
what a joke.
with that much cash; he could for sure kickstart something for ; his long time; far more loyal; not dnb fans....cmon hardcore brother!!!!
when is the last time he did anything for the hardcore scene? or tried? asked about tracks or albums? kept in contact with other artists; about hardcore? listened to hardcore? went to a hardcore gathering?
is this about hardcore; or money?
