I dont like CD 1 or 2 but Hixxy CD is ok. No point on CD 4, its all old.

Listening as I post, will mention the tracks that catch my ear! Take it with a pinch of salt, I'm not a fan of upfront but I did like clubland X-Treme 1-4
*So far darren Styles CD isn't too bad! Improvement over 5+6 imo which I didn't enjoy that much. It generally seems more interesting.
*Bring the noise sounds alright but difficult to tell for just 1 minute of the track.
*Dougal, Gammer and Chris Fear - Supersonic is VERY heavy sounding.
*So far almost everything is still very Clubland sounding but you are buying from the clubland franchise so no surprise there.
*Could Be Real by Whizzkid sounds amazing! Really wanna hear that one in its entirety. Rest of the CD seems pretty much take it or leave it, if you like clubland you'll love it, if not you probably won't.
*Last 2 tracks are almost gabber sounding, using a lot of gabber samples, dark dutch kinda stuff.
Heard breeze's sample mix before so a lot of this isn't new to me:
*Flip & Fill - I Need Air sounds okay, think I would have preferred the original but Flip & Fill are GODS to me so that's expecting
*Breeze's CD in general is quite thick bassline-y kinda stuff, not really my sort of thing, I'm strictly cheese for the most part.
*Having to skip through a few samples, just too much heavy bassline stuff for me, just a bit boring.
*Heartbeatz is familiar enough for me to sit through
*Get A F***ing Life is brilliant xD
*Kick Your Legs isn't a remix of DNA's tune, I'm sort of thankful for that.
Hixxy CD now, not sure what to expect, I thought he always had more vocal cheese on his CDs so this outta be good.
*This is terrible
*Nah just kidding, nothing doing here either really, sounds like Breeze and Darren Styles' CDs have met in the middle and this is the outcome.
*My Way remix is probably pretty much how you'd expect it to be: Keep vocals, add squiggly trancey synths, thicker beat, cleaner piano blah blah. Okay.
*Sy & Unknown - Love Song isn't bad, I don't care much for it but it's a step in the right direction for clubland
*Werewolf seems really out of place on clubland, like it should have been on HTID 3 instead
*Madhouse is really heavy, generic and ridiculous. Just saying.
CD 4 is my favorite, I haven't heard the samples but I just know. Vocal cheese (Well, about as cheesy as upfront gets) from the past Clubland X-Treme CDs. It's a bit slower than the other 3 CDs.
* U R My Phantasy will always be an awesome track. That is all.
Sorry if it's a bit scathing and/or grumpy and that I didn't leap out and say BUY THIS! but I've written all this now and it'd be a shame not to post it for those that don't wanna sit through all the samples.

cd 1
-"Wisdom"....sounds very familiar...like that Nu Foundation track, "Wizzy"?
"Here Tonight"-I like
"Bring The Noise (DS Remix)"-Like what I can here from the sample
"Major Panic (Got To Have It)"-Really loving this track.
"Open Your Eyes"....kind of bland.
"We Can Have It All(Re con Remix)-I like what I can here.
"Take You Down"-Makes me think of the 80s and old skool hhc, so I like it.
"Walking on Air"-I like it
cd 2
Not much to say about this disc....it's so....flooded with recycled trance except for the remix of "You're Shining"
Didn't care for the Hixxy mix, but the Greatest Hits cd will be good for rippin and putting to my prefered tempo.
I did think the mixing was better this time around, there's atleast more than 3 sec. on transition.

I'm listening to Darren Style's samples, I'm just blown away. How could it go from what were volumes 5 and 6 to this? Pianos, breaks, nice rolling basslines, not that much messy electro business, and it's mostly enjoyable too. I'm very impressed, he's stepped up his game so much this year that passed. He featured a few underdogs as well.
I hope the two other cds are as surprising.

samples listening complete, it sounds like a neat Hardcore album! especially cds 1 and 3. The bonus cd is filled with good tracks, I'm sure the newbies must love the mix. Extended versions would have topped it off, but I'm used to the 3 cd format so I don't really mind.

If you listen to the 'classics' and listen to the new tunes not much has changed over 5 years. Same old sounds and same old samples. Really date, this belongs in the 2000s, we are in the 2010s now lol
