CD arrived today, despite the postal strike!
'The Prophecy', first of all sounds very nice. Very well produced and very underground.
'Unexpected', loved this track. Very good vocals and and well produced.
'Drug Abuse' was a track from 2 new artists for me. Although psychedelic freeform with trippy samples is always a winner in my books!
'The Void' was a great track. I love the melody based sort of tracks. The big big kick was a bit of an unexpected feat having listened to the previous track.
'Dancing On The Sun' was another track I have yet to of heard! Ionosphere impressed once again with a musically brilliant track. The acid really made it shine for me. Loved the vocalist in this track, aswell. Kate's got a great voice for some uplifting Hardcore! The melody was very nice, though didn't quite fulfill the build up, if you get me...
'Turntable Deejays' was a track i loved from the beginning. This is one of my particular favorites from Crush On Hardcore 4. Eufeion is definately one I'll keep a look out for! He knows how to make a kick ass hardcore tune!
'Dance With Us' was not what I was expecting. The track was more based around the melody and the sample, which is a nice contradiction to my original opinion of X-Cyte as producing mainly with vocally heavy tracks. This even had a great little breaky-old skool style section! Sweet stuff :)
'Dance With Me' MC Whiskey, I'm assuming is one of the masterminds behind the new digital label that has recently popped up. Luminate I noticed is also involved in the project. The track did sound nice, but I felt the plucked sound overrode the Tiffany vocals slightly. Also, the MC levels were a bit low and hard to distinguish at times. However, the lead was dead-hot and the kick really made the track sound very Hardcore. Although, again the Tiffany vocals are hard to hear.. Top stuff, still.
'Young Forever' - Corruption is a name I recognise from In Your Head Records. This track had a nice mix of sounds with old sounding vocals. The track, whilst feeling a little more mellow compared to the track before was also well produced, though the mastering i felt could have been a bit better. The kick has allot of low-end, and the track generally didnt have allot of high end. The vocals were, again, difficult to hear over the melody at times. However, its a very nice track and I love the sounds used!
'Forget the music' had samples that I really liked :D I'm a sucker for a sample and this hit the spot. The melody was also pretty spot on. Dan Edge is one I'll be keeping an eye out for, he's my kind of producer =)
'The Core Elite' is a track I've heard to death, simply as its so good! This is Fingaz used to full effect with Gary, here. The track's production is very solid, and the track itself represents hardcore in an uplifting way. Nice one guys!
'Epidemic' was a turn to the dark side! This track was very dark, with a more distorted kick, and a moodier piano riff. Not much I can say really, I'm not a gabber artist of critic, but I enjoyed the track. Personally, the track felt a bit empty during the melody, and could have been a bit more sophisticated.
'Star Wars' is a track I've heard on NonStop2k a while back. I felt it was a bit cheesy, and a bit dark for me, but it was a nicely done track.
All I can add upon that is that it was a good usage of £7, although the album could have been a bit better mastered, since some tracks are louder than others, and some more bassier than others.
Thats my input! Can't wait for Round 2!

Thank you but it needs to be pointed out that the track is by Bulby_G & Ionosphere.
It's the Bulbz' (Audio Warfare's) track that we then collaborated on, so a very great deal of the credit belongs to him.

yeah i realised that shortly after! infact, during the tryping process (for a better term) i wrote 'bulby-g' instead of 'ionosphere', my bad in not changing it correctly..

Ok here it is the official Meathead's "Sorry-it-took-so-long-i'm-a-disorganized-twat" feedback.
First of all, very nice looking packaging!
Stand out track for me are;
X-Cyte - Unexpected - Although i'm not keen on the vocalist's.. er.. vocals - i believe it's the same woman as used on Final Flight and his mrs isn't it? - that didn't put me off the track.
Audio X Ft Serenity - Drug Abuse - Much less watered down Freeform than is the increasingly becoming the norm today. Liked it a lot. I would have liked for the sample at the end of the track to have been used in there somewhere rather than at the end, what's that about? lol
Chriss Ross - The Void - Pretty good tune i'd like to hear more Freeform-y stuff from this guy, i wasn't all that keen on that Gabber track but i know that was released long before this CD and he seems to have improved a lot since.
Matt Luminate Ft MC Whiskey & Tiffany - Dance With Me - If i'm honest i hated thsi tune the first time i heard it but it's grown on me, i can even stomach teh MC.
These may be slightly biased towrards the Freeform stuff as i've been caining HU4 CD4 all day :D
There's a good balance of styles on the CD. Not too much cheese, not too much of the darker, heavier stuff, just right and with plenty of variety. There are a couple of tracks whose place on the CD i'd have to question - not up to much production and/or content wise and drag the CD down slightly - but for a small, still very new and developing digital label this is a huge project and step forward. I know you're very passionate about this Craig i'm happy to say you should also be very proud man! Great CD and i can't wait for volume 2!
