    Strong 4 tracker, and all tracks are great and classics, yet the sound quality of the original tracks is poor:
    - ''DJ's Unite'' sounds very tough the beats, compared to the rave stabs of the track.
    - ''Glide - Alright'' beats sound unmastered with more low and less high frequencies.
    - ''The Noise Factory - Be Free'' sounds lo-fi, the whole track very dirty amiga-style sounding.
    - ''EQ - True Devotion'' bass synth sounds much louder than the stabs/riffs of the track, makes the track a little flabby.
    1991-1992 UK bedroom produced hardcore wasn't always in the best sound quality, especially when the beats were unmastered and tough compared to the synths/ rave stabs/ samples of the tracks, but from 1993 hardcore went mastered, clearer and darker.
    Saying that, the peak of Belgian/european techno tracks 1 year earlier (1991), were more often well studio mastered and excellent sounding.
    However even with the sound quality issues of the tracks, this is still a great 4-track EP.

      This is a fantastic ep, all four tunes are great, really good production values and a good press too. Going cheap for very reasonable money, worth picking up

          Great 4 track E.P. packed full of big Hardcore tunes.
          DJ's Unite was probably the better known, but the other three tracks were pretty big tunes too, have a listen & take your pick.
          One for any Old school hardcore fan.
