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!

Thanks for that mate, good honest feedback is what helps us to drive improvements for volume 2.

Couple of points:
- The vocalist for Unexpected is not the same as for Final Flight afaik ;)
- You are right, Chris Ross has improved ALOT over the last 12 months, got a couple of tracks coming from him soon which are really cool and he has recently completed an EPIC freeform riff that I am begging him to put into a track.
- As for content of the CD.....I think and hope Volume 2 will be head and shoulders above volume 1 in terms of quality of music.....In fact I know it will. Submissions are open to the public and we have been sent around 35 tracks already and are expecting some very good submissions!
- Finally, as for being proud....I am, but credit and thanks must go to the artists etc, otherwise its just me trying to flog blank CDs ;)

Thanks again for the review mate, will pass the feedback on, especially your Chris Ross comment

Oh of course the artists as well. How could i forgot those :D. I remember a comment posted on HP about the vocals on Finla Flight and X-Cyte saying he'd pass the message on to his girlfriend lol, I just assumed it was her on this track too. They do sound similair though.

Yeah Final Flight is his gf, but I believe Eunexpected is from a vocal pack, I think Al Storm actually used the same vocal in a track not so long ago

Will definitely look forward to your feedback, especially as we are planning volume 2, feedback is very important.

The mail strikes havent affected us too much, when people have bought direct from NSR, but Im taking it you bought from hh.com or IMO?? Cause your order isnt on my system.....but from what I know, IMO and hh.com havent had problems with the postal either as Ive not heard of any complaints.

Correct - I ordered mine from IMO. I tried to order it direct from your site, but you can only pay using PayPal, by the looks of things, and my PayPal account is a complete mess. It won't let me add my new debit card. Extremely fcuking irritating.

So yeah, hopefully I'll have it soon and I can let you know what I think. Looking forward to it massively!

Safe.
