I actually enjoyed all the mixes!
Sy & Unknown's is weak in many parts, but I have to say that some of there more invenvtive and progressive tracks that delve into subtler facets of music are quite impressive. Particularly Just Close Your Mind. I also really liked the Joey Riot & Kurt Remix of Make It Bounce, and the Kurt Remix of Emotions & Dreams. Otherwise, it was kind of boring with some really nice vocals and pretty songs.
Dougal and Gammer's mix...I need to give it another listen. I don't particularly like it though. It wasn't bad, and the mixing was fine, but the best tracks (imo) are Pump This Party, Deadbeat, and Space Odyssey 2006 although I liked Boom Daka and Brainstorm.
Brisk & Ham's wins overall with sheer variety alone. Really loving this. Best tracks = all of them ;)
Great compilation! It's lacking freeform though...so it gets an 8/10 from me...:)

Nothing "Intressing" in Hardcore These days -
Change that to "UK HardCore" (what this album is) and i'd agree with you
There nothing "pulling you in" anymore is there mate
But on a whole, i still think its a top album (conpaired to alot of other stuff out this year)
and also, try having a browse around the net mate
hardcore breaks is still around, so is the happy sound... aswell as the new world of freeformaction and breakbeat hardcore, (which may i add, is SHIT HOT!!!) including even more indepth dutch hardcore!
Theres a big world out there Go and have a look! But don't expect to find it in your local hi street store

I've had a proper listen to this one, and besides the odd belter, it's a mediocore album. The best track has to be Pulsonix - Lift Me Up (Sy & Unknown remix) WHAT A TUNE!

I've finally gotten the chance to listen to the whole thing...
CD1 - Sy & Unknown
Some decent tracks - I like the Rocco remix... Overall it was a bit boring though, nice vocal numbers but everything sounded so same-same.
I've only heard it once and I'm kinda bored of it already
Top tracks:
Audiolush - Feel the Power (Sy & Unknown remix)
Pulsonix - Lift me Up (Sy & Unknown remix)
Rocco - I don't know (Sy & Unknown remix)
Sy & Unknown - Product of the Devil 2006
Sy & Unknown - Make it bounce (Joey Riot & DJ Kurt remix)
I give it 6.75/10
CD2 - Dougal & Gammer
This mix started off so well - A new feeling is AWESOME (already had gotten the vinyl though). I was expecting big things and slow mixing as is the usual dougal & gammer way but I was a bit dissapointed. Alot of the tracks sounded similar with nice vocals but sub par lyrics...
Top tracks:
Gammer & Cat Knight - A New Feeling
D-Code feat Emma - My direction (Squad E remix)
Dougal & Gammer - This is a virus
Kurt - Space Odyssey 2006
Transit - Count the hours
I give it 6.75/10 ('A new feeling' counts for alot of it)
CD3 - Brisk & Ham
This mix was by far the best on the compilation. A bunch of awesome tracks, some original ones, very good super quick mixes... I loved it.
It's not quite as good as HH3 (this one doesn't have turn out the lights LOL) but still pretty good.
The compilation is worth the money just for this mix.
Top tracks:
Brisk & Ham - Your angel
Brisk & Vagabond - Eurolove 2006
Eclipse feat Lisa Marie - Hearts Desire
Hujib - Over & Over
Double Dutch - Dance & Spin
Hardcore Masif - Cold As Ice (Weaver & Suae remix)
The Acolyte & Sean Apollo - We don't stop
Euphoria - The rush is mine
Heaven 7 - Kontact DJ
Scott Brown - Goodbye my friend
Solapse - Nobody likes it <-- SWEET TRACK, very original too.
Brisk & Vagabond - Nation to nation
Other tracks are good too...but I figure that's a pretty massive list
I give it 9/10
Basically Brisk & Ham made this a good CD.

dougal + gammers cd is nearly the same except one major factor "boom daka" all i can say for that song is oh dear what is happening
I don't know how you can say that!
I think Boom Daka is a great track, and even if it just ain't your thing you've got to give it some credit for the originality.

I wonder who won a copy of Hardcore Euphoria, usually Silver pops it up on the homepage, not heard anything about winners yet.

Got to say i'm not that impressed. I loved it for the first couple of listens (got it on the way to westfest so listened on the way down) but after a few more iv'e decided i'm not that keen.
The Dougal and Gammer CD starts of amazingly with A New Feeling but I think every other tune is absolute crap on that cd (just my opinion).
The Sy & Unknown CD is alright but very samey.
Brisk n Ham has some amazing tunes on it but it pisses me off soooooo much that i only get to hear a minute and a half of them. Fair enough including some fast mixes but I really don't think it works mixing every tune like that.
First listen 9/10
Fifth listen 6/10
