Some of this may sound a little dated today but at the time no other compilation did quite as much to capture the moment.

XL were on a roll at the time and could do little wrong in the eyes of many DJs, if you went to a rave in the summer of 1991 you would have heard most of the tracks on this album at least once during the night.

If you want an historical document to the early days of hardcore it does not get much better than this.
