Nothing too weird about the labels: After Hellfish suffered R.S.I. from writing the labels on 1 & 2 it seemed easier, and not too much more expensive, to have the label printed like that!

To cut a long story short: I found this deeply disappointing. I expect most folks were expecting hip-hop/hardcore mash-ups or classic gabber track megamixes like Stroid 1 and 2 or at very least something a bit out of the ordinary. What we got instead was a set of fairly non-descript dark hardcore tracks - Industrial-ish in places, a good array of slower and fatser stuff but not much in the way of hooks of samples. Not bad, but not great either. Useful for mixing tools I suppose. Seeing as Stroid appear to be a label for legally iffy releases, one wonders why these tracks or on this label - were they not good enough for another related label?
Weirdest thing is this: Stroid 1 and 2 were white labels with the title written individually in felt pen. Stroid 3 and 4 had computer-printed white labels *made to look like* they had been written on individually. Go figure.
