I'm not a fan of the cheesy happy core sound any more but i must comment on the 3rd cd of this release.

Dj Fury always stood out for me in the late 90's as he was bringing a darker acid sound when most other djs playing at that tempo were opting for teeny pop two dimensional drivel.

This Fury mix is structured excellently, starting a little slower (160 ish) with some of his own and Helix's tribal acid productions on the xy2 label, then gradually getting harder and faster as the mix progresses. After the spine tingling "More Understanding" it continues to build until he drops an unexpected breakbeat track (Slam & Helix - Sikkakiks) in the middle, which works perfectly to set the listener up for the second half of the mix. He then takes it considerably harder, levelling out at the end with "Saviour", "Death By Stereo" & Sharkey's "Product Of Society" which are banging but very euphoric emotional tracks.

If you are into dark, tribal hard dance mixed with real vinyls that are more at home in a woodland free party than Ministry of Sound then buy this on sight. This cd was a massive influence on my musical journey. Do not be put off by the cartoon cover!!
