Officially a repress of Masters of hardcore special 01, the tracks on this release are notably different from the original release. All the vocals by Krezip have been removed and only a piano from the song "I would stay" has been released intact in these tracks. People who really liked the original release because of that vocal don't need to buy this one because it's missing it.

The problems XSV had resulted in the birth of Gangsta Audiovisuals. This label was a straight continuation of the legendary Ruffneck Records. But somehow the whole style of the label, audio and visual, wasn't up to par with Ruffneck. The problems with XSV and the hardcore scene put a stamp on the forthcoming productions I guess.

Visually the label-artwork is much more abstract and darker than on Ruffneck Records. Audiowise it's the same; The first release was pretty good, giving a big variety of tracks although and Nosferatu's first release was also pretty good... after that it got worse in my opinion.
Releases became darker and more anonymous, no real catchy tracks that keep you hooked. It was a formula they were bringing out with every release, with only the first Trypticon release to stand out in these releases. The Trickster release is just a basic rehash of his track on the first Gangsta release. The Knightvision release is in my opinion her worst compared to the previous releases on Ruffneck Records

Let's not forget the absence of Predator. One of the underrated driving forces of Ruffneck as he produced a lot of tracks under different names for that label. He stayed with XSV and moved on to H2Oh where he found the same fate as Gangsta. Producing more of the same stuff he always did but now on automatic pilot and a bit darker.

The turnaround came with the release of "The Origin Of Core - Gangsta Audiovisuals Edition" The original artcore sound had worn-out and this release presented a fresh look on things with releases by Nosferatu and Endymion. This release also was less dark than all previous releases. They continued to advance in the right direction with the two releases by Nosferatu which put him on the map once and for all.

Apparantly there has been a mix-up in the production of this record and the record "fucking speedloader" on the same label. During the pressing of these two records the labels and sleeves became mixed up and so it his now the case that this record has the label and sleeve of Fucking Speedloader and Fucking Speedloader has the label of "The warming up e.p." I own a copy of "Fucking Speedloader" and it has got the sleeve and label of this records. I've read from other people that the "Fucking Speedloader" records is actually "the warming up ep."

A rerelease of Baby Boom 46 but with a few differences:
- The sleeve has been totally redesigned.
- The title is incorrectly spelled as "Intellectual Kyller"
- The remix of Nosferatu & Endymion has been swapped with the original version of the track; On this record the remix is on the A-side, on the original it was on the B-side
- The track "Don't Sample This (For Skilled DJ's Only)" which was on the original release and is a collection of samples has been left out on this release.

The track Ruff Rider is a hardcore remix of the theme song to the show Knight Rider. It's really a great track that instantly gives people a smile on their face when they hear one of the best known themesong ever on the dancefloor

This is not the Nosferatu who we now all know. This was a one time team-up (or maybe twice since there is a Nosferatu track on the Fear of a ruff planet album) between P. van Kerckhoven and F. Henderson. In 1997 P. van kerckhoven used this alias together with E. van Kan to release "Inspiration Vibes". After that E. van Kan adopted the name permanently and Nosferatu was just him.

D-lux is heavily based (it rips the original recording literally) on the track "Lux Aeterna" by Clint Mansell & the Kronos Quartet which was produced for the soundtrack of the film "Requiem for a dream"
