deep and haunting hardcore.

[franz]

all this stuff is totally new to me. thanks for all the gems. too many exciting ones to even begin really, but the satin storm tune and the dream 2 science bit were both pretty great.

 

[Benny Bunter]

and the deepest and most haunting of all

Bug Khan And The Plastic Jam - Made In Two Minutes

love the old garage version of this too

 

[bruno]

Friends of Matthew - Out There (Raw Mix)

beautiful. it brought to mind this, for some reason:

 

[Tentative Andy]

Not sure if this is 100% what you were after luka, but this one has always felt quite moving and deep to me.

Skanna - Ceasfire
There was another quite good tune from that era that used the same vocal sample, but can't remember what it was called now.

 

[FairiesWearBoots]

i like it when its slow and sad.

this one is a bit later but I think it is the mood you're after

 

[Tentative Andy]

This is one that gets a lot of play from some of the PR djs. I feel like sorta-maybe fits with what we're talking about here - from 1990, bleepy melodies, some breakbeats, and def very haunting.
Midi Rain- The Crack Train:

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

everything 4 hero 1992-93 is haunting, especially journey from the light and the internal affairs ep. that standing in the rain vibe. suad's most haunting for me got to be derek went mad, also nicolette - o si nene.

lemon d - I need you
bass selective - forever young
satin storm - i think i'm going out of my head

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

also this isn't hardcore but it is the ULTIMATE morning after tune, pure bliss inna fleeting youth melancholy...

Ability II - Pressure Dub

 

[luka]

thanks everyone. good suggestions.learnt something.

 

[bassbeyondreason]

Pretty obvious but:

4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse - Drowning in Her

Shut Up And Dance - Derek Went Mad

 

[hmg]

This is more recent, but it has haunt
Emalkay - crusader


Krome & Time - Slammer.

Not so much haunting as the soundtrack for a ghost train rollercoaster

 

[Tentative Andy]

This is another PR fave I'm going to chuck in here and see if people think fits. Took me ages to get the ID on this one.
Lost - The Gonzo:

Hardcore prob wouldn't be the first word I'd use for this (same for a lot of the tunes on this thread) but it's another breakbeat rave tune from the turn of the 90s and it's def got that deep, immersive feel to it. Think you can hear an influence from this into later hardcore tunes like Dub War by Dance Conspiracy.

 

[luka]

here

 

[bunnnnnn]

This thread! That UK acid / bleep / proto-hardcore hinterland is such a rich seam. Used to love this tune (and still do) although perhaps it's more disorientating and uneasy than melancholic.

 

[luka]

this is a good thread.

 

[thirdform]

love this zone as well. under researched for sure and also complicates the nothing but italo house over breakbeats narritive of 91-92.

 

[luka]

I'm pleased I conscientiously wrote down the names of the tunes to,go with the now deleted youtubes

 

[DLaurent]

This is a bit of obvious for you lot. But my hardcore listening of the last few years has basically been Face Records.



Is this late 93?

 

[thirdform]

really hits you in that spot. you know the one.
