i think i'd have to go w/2 too.

what about poo for the best of techno? how many are there? i have 3 and 4.

Volume 6 is the weakest, but there is more good stuff on it than just the Helicopter remix.

I have much much love for XL-3, mostly because of "The Green Man" and "Hoovers And Spraycans".

volume 1 does a good job of capturing this odd moment between breakbeat house and hardcore ... sort of like the ruff underground side of major breakbeat house acts like the shamen or the ebenezer goode guys.

also my older cousin gave me a copy on tape when i was a sophomore in high school and it pretty much changed my life.

That's crazy.

dan is right, it's not really hard to cover 90% of it (hell, "history of hardcore vol 1" would cover about half!). but the hard-to-find tracks are just GOLD.

first, there's "mad ragga jon" - who MUST be jon carter of "monkey mafia" - doing an awesome diva-led house that switches between 4/4 and breakbeat passages.

second, there's the REMIX of dj ss "want you now", which sounds JUST like the most blissed-out reinforced records sounding moments of the dj assault catalog (cf gareth), stuff like "jungle love" and "sex on the beach", except five years or so before the fact.

third, the "hells bells" remix of "weird energy".

finally, there's a flow and energy to it, courtesy of AK1200, that's hard to beat.

i've got 2 copies of drum and bass selection 4!

The "History of Our World" comps were preceded by a pair of comps called "History of Hardcore" vols. 1 and 2. It's actually more like a history of Moving Shadow and Urban Shakedown, but these are also totally essential - especially the second, which has got renegade snares, the helicopter tune, cloud 9 by jazzmin, dred bass, terrorist, etc.

Also look for "Sub Base Classics" on Moonshine. It's in the same vein as the "History of..." comps, but it's got some real weird stuff too, like a D'Cruze remix by DJ SS that sounds like DJ Assault's entire playbook. It also gives you a real good feel for the "evolution" of hardcore by starting out with a bunch of breakbeat house tunes by Rachel Wallace and Mad Ragga Jon (Carter).

(Yes, XL2 is a big Belgianfest and is awesome.)

hm! weird!

the MUSIC certainly predates the stuff on "history of our world" ... doesn't it??

YES IT IS. I had forgotten how much I loved Set Up System's "Fairy Dust." (Was there ever a perfect catchall name for That Kind of Techno Riff, ie something that sounds like grating metal played by hyperactive insects?)

I'll accept that. Of course what's so perfectly great about nearly all these songs is the beat, which more than anything else is just...well, indescribable.

history of hardcore comps are great (I found the second one in smalltown new zealand!) - listen to them more than a history of our world v2 but nowhere near as much as v1 (speaking of which - where's matos? & when's marooned coming out?).

xl-3's pretty sweet - always fun to drop "keep the fire burning" into a set. really wish "hoovers & spraycans" lived up to the title slightly more.

hey, what about low price music's best of underground dance?

#3 really is very strange music, it amps up so many of the cliches that they're not really recognizable anymore, they're just alien sounds. it's my favorite way (if not the most representative way) to introduce people to that period

will have to seek out #5

anyone wanna rep for the unnumbered A New Beginning one? I also can't believe no one's mentioned Law of the Jungle, or to give it its full title, Speed Limit 140 BPM Plus Presents Law of the Jungle.

But I hate that! (I actually do like it better than all the 'regular' entries in the series.)

xpost Ned you're the one I was looking at when I typed that earlier

4's highlight is "Wake Up", with that Price Is Right intro...
