Yeah, its all interrelated. Faster BPM means less space for breaks, simpler rhythms, then even faster BPM and so on. Next thing you know its, as you say, techno with breakbeats and the next stop is hard rock cafe.

i remember going world dance in '99 just to do a mate a favour and thinking never ever ever am i going to a d&b night again. it was all about 'the drop' as moronic as any american 'edm' ritual

rhythmically it became impoverished from 1995 and the birth of jump up.

Hmmm... Many of the early Metalheadz plates were rhytmically much simpler than most of the other stuff around. But also Good Looking and lots of the Moving Shadow stuff in '95. All the "artcore" / "Intelligent" material (as much as I loved big chunks of that...)

can we include happy hardcore or is that strictly verboten? I just did a new 94/95 happycore mix, so ...

anyways, here's a quick list from my own collection (thanks Discogs!) that excludes the later stuff. it's mostly '93 as that's my favorite year. This is far from definitive!

Previously I said ballots should be between 30-100 tracks. I've changed that to 10-100 tracks.

As I said before, even if you don't know much about hardcore I'd like you to vote; the more ballots there are, the better the results.

Completely blanked on this and pulled a Padraig. Sorry.

What does "To pull a Padraig" mean? I stumbled across a forum member named "Padraig" here while reading a couple of old threads - so my guess is, it got something to do with him (her)?

Completely blanked on this and pulled a Padraig. Sorry.

Harsh, dude. Fair, but harsh. What can I say, full-time school and full-time work doesn't leave as much leisure time as I might like to revisit the world of breakbeats, chipmunk vocals, mentasms and euphoric piano breakdowns. Glad to have helped coin a phrase, tho!
