Various - Hixxy, Force & Styles Present This Is Noize FLAC download

DJ Hixxy united with Force & Styles for the release of this album, and it proved to be a success. Now onto the review. The first cd is mixed by Sy & Unknown and called 'The oldschool mixes'. It starts off very 'intro' like, and Sy's scratching here and there make it irresistable. The first cd has some variation at parts and there isnt really a track that brings down the energy and makes it boring as such. Very impressed so far. Onto the second cd, mixed by Hixxy, Force & Styles. Ok, this cd starts off with the title track. I'm sort of 'weirded out' by this one. It's VERY different. A bit too different, i dont really like 'experimental' sort of things. This has brass instruments and a bass guitar? in it to name a few. Quite a different impression of what i thought it was going to be. Some of these tracks seem to make me a bit disapointed, some just arn't the best. On to the final verdict, and favourites. Favourites from CD 1: 4, 8(!), 11, 13(!), 15 Favourites from CD 2: 5(!!!), 12, 14 All in all it's a satisfying album, although doesnt define as well as Bonkers, this is an absolute essential compilation for happy hardcore lovers, and people new to the genre alike. A couple of tracks were a let down, especially in CD 2, although some tracks were absolutly perfect and briliant, like Unique - 5.A.M, or Toytown. But it's ultimately down to taste, this is an epic ride through happy hardcore and should not be missed!
