Various – Forza Horizon 5: Hospital Soundtrack

Holy crap! Every artist puts out the literal best they have on this. A Drum N Bass must have. Never heard anything like this in the last 10 years as far as compilations go. This is flawless compiling and these tracks got me into buying vinyl from all sorts of artists. Degs being the number 1 absolute legend on this. You could host a massive party just with what is on these plates. Immense!

:O basically. What an album. No flaws and absolutely lossless. Had a massive dance about to this today.

I really enjoyed Hospital's output in 2021. Nu:Tone and Unglued's albums were both fantastic, and this compilation is very much the cherry on the cake for the whole year. Keeno - Communications has all the makings of a classic liquid anthem. It's one of those tracks where you'd buy the whole LP for one track. Thankfully it's not the only potential classic on here. "Illusion of Time" is SPY doing what he does best with a massive atomospheric roller. 'Midwest Shuffle', 'Fly Away' & 'Deckard's Chords' are also tunes I would absolutely play in a set. I picked up the second pressing and the quality of the whole package is undeniable. Grab it while you can!

I am into older DnB, namely Intelligent or Liquid DnB from the mid 90s. I built a new PC last month and was looking to test the most demanding, best looking games. I knew FH5 was one of those games and I was happy to see Hospital Records had a radio station (since then have bought FH4 and enjoyed Hospital radio on it as well). Besides Hospital, Liquicity is the only other label I listen to as for recent DnB. The records are great, although the lead-in groove was a little scuffed for the first two records (paper fragments). After cleaning them off with a basic record brush, all 3 records played with minimal surface noise and contained all my favorite tracks. More than happy to have imported this to add to the collection. My set did not contain any pressing errors whatsoever.

Top Tracks:
1) Keeno - Communications
2) Makoto - Another Star
3) Logistics - Boundless
4) Grafix - Alone
5) Metrik - Utopia

Awesome compilation album overall. Even more enjoyable to listen to outside of the game. However, my pressing has a defect on disc 1 side A that causes the needle to jump and skip. It affects about the 1:00+ of A1, then gradually goes away and doesn't seem to affect the rest of the A side. Reaching out to Hospital about this possible pressing issue as it makes A1 unplayable, and I certainly don't want my needle hopping around and getting damaged.
