Al Storm's mix is definitely superior, though still found myself getting bored at points throughout the mix. I can't blame f&d or storm, their talent remains the same, it's the lame bs scene standards they try to abide by that suck. I really, really hate that hardstyle lead, and i hate the hardstyle kick. Cant stand those rob iyf tracks. surprisingly wasn't big on most the storm & euphony tracks either.
the remix of time is fukn awesome, been wanting that one.
must be magic & boom jam and like it like that are my favorite tracks. honestly the only tracks that bring any semblance of uk hardcore euphoria (for me). the faraway ( hybrid heaven) mix is 10/10 for me. def prob my favorite installment so far, but still miles away from some of my favorite Hardcore Underground installments.
mix isn't at 175 either is it, seems slow as **** at points?
the mix is 177 :D all the way through! glad you liked some of them anyway haha

There's no denying that Al Storm's mix contains more "happy hardcore" and elements of the 90s style in some tracks and in the remixes of the 90s tracks. Mind Explosion is an example of this - contains elements of the classic style but also a modern sound with the inclusion of the "hardstyle-like" riff. It is good that there are elements of the older hardcore style such as Mind Explosion BUT would be good to hear a little more of a modern sound to it and I'm not that keen on the vocals which are a little cheesey. Similar opinion of Rise Above. Wasn't that keen on Far Away track or the Kingdom track.
I much preferred the sound of Boom Jam, Flashbacks, Like it like that and Everybody in the place, This Feeling remix.

Is a fair point, I wanted a spread of stuff I?m not against the modern sound at all, album mixes should have a bit of variety but with a consistent vibe.. just think hardcore for me at least needs an injection of the rave past as it?s almoat become unrecogniseable from the 90?s apart from speed .. like you said in mind explosion with the old sounds but the ?hardstyle? lead is basically the old raver baby sounds layered better and bendy :p

Let's all just be happy that Al Storm is
a) Getting due acclaim
b) Not giving a shit about trend based ********
c) Capable of excelling across multiple genres, but chooses this with roots long grown
d) Backed by people who noticed the above. Including y'all.
