I think most on here can agree that modern hardcore, or whats left of it, is shite. But what a feeling it is when you find an older tune you missed when it was originally released.
There was a time when there were so many albums and regular releases that some great tunes slipped through the net. What are your favourite tunes that you discovered years after they were initially released?
Here is my example from Scott Browns mix of Hardcore Heaven 4, which I never bought, as I wasnt in to his stuff at that point in time:

What's really good about not really giving a shit about Hardcore for 20 years is sometimes good tracks get thrown up from older albums etc.
Like the SMD remix by Fracus & Darwin. So, for me, there is probably loads of good stuff i've not heard. But probably never will. Darwins toytown remix, or the airhead remix, although if it's anything like S3RL's pathetic attempt, i'd be glad not to.

The past few years I've been going through old labels that are still available digitally, getting what I still can, but not even a month ago I just had this happen on something from Quosh that apparently slipped through the cracks for me back in the day...I swear I was on top of the new releases for this label too...
Enlighten - Born Again (Sy & Unknown Remix) [QSH058 A]
Looks like the old one put it a video up:

Sounds good, I did like their style around that time.

Supreme & UFO - Paradise.
In a time when I mainly just bought CD's and lived too far for events, this slipped through (I don't recall it ever being on a mix or compilation CD) and I didn't hear it until about 2002.
The internet opened up so many options to hear long-forgotten tracks.

Always good to hear 90s stuff I actually like. Did this one ever sneak out on any digital release? Prices on discogs are outrageous.

I don't think so, I believe it was UFO's hard drive that had the infamous crash.
Such a shame because Supreme, UFO & pals were the kings of early freeform.

I remember this tune from the Brisk and Ham mix on Hardcore Euphoria, but there were so many other good tunes on that album and generally around this time that it was drowned out. ****ing epic now listening back though....

I'm always discovering old tunes seeing as I have been a serious record collector for 20 years. I love Discogs, but I do miss record shops, because there is no better feeling than putting on a white label and it's something you've been after for years.
For me it really bridges the gap between that Finrg sound and the older freeform stuff.
Thankfully the beatport clip has the best bit in. The breakdown has just started, Richard Harris (RIP) does his Gladiator speech, the low choirs are doing their thing with the bass growling away in the background. Then the build-up starts, synths join the choirs and a slow breakbeat kicks in. Arpeggiated synths show the signs of what's coming, kick and cymbal crashes start to build the crescendo, then silence as we hear Richard's words echo in. POW, it hits you hard and relentless with a really nice gritty acid line build up.
For me, this is one of those tracks that cause frisson, hairs standing on end, chills and euphoria. It is sublime.
Aaaah sublime.
