Another day, another review. And this time it's a megamix, with only Hardcore anthems in them. And you know I'm a sucker for Hardcore music. It doesn't matter if it's 90s, Millennium or present day Hardcore. I love it all. Obviously the 90s a bit more, Millennium is also one of my favourite eras, but yeah, everything Hardcore related I'll absorb like a sponge. So you know exactly what happened when I spotted this mix, which was uploaded onto HardcorePower's Soundcloud channel... I had to press play, and emerge myself into this megamix.
One of the first things I've noticed is how many tracks are in this mix. A hundred, to be precise. Another thing I noticed is the length of this mix. Well, the shortness of it. 100 tracks in a nearly 29 minute long mix. So there's not a long time to enjoy each record: it's literally a megamix. Hits are thrown at you at unspeakable speed. Final thing noticed by yours truly was the tracklist: after listening to just a handful of minutes, I noticed that this wasn't in order as it was mixed. So that was a tad confusing.
I've never encountered the station HardcorePower before, so I'm not sure who's behind it. But I'm guessing they did a top 100 after people voted for their favourite Hardcore anthem, right? It isn't the easiest thing to determine the BEST Hardcore anthem of all time, because there are so many. After quickly looking at the tracklist I would have voted for at least 70% of the records selected, so I wouldn't be participating in this, as I can't make a clear decision.
Now those that are familiar with this radio station, can you clarify something for me? The list, which you can find here (or underneath the mix on Soundcloud): is that the list as it stands? So number 1 is Nosferatu? Is the list the 100 in chronological order? Or is it just a list of the 100 records people selected, not in any order?

This genuinely hurt my wrists. I had to type the whole tracklist, and seeing as it's 100 records in it, it's a lot of words. And it might be painful, it's all worth it!
Initially, the tracklist looked good, and the mix sounded good. But then, after a while, it made me wonder. The tracks selected, some are missing from this list, and some shouldn't even be on here. I know it's difficult to please everyone, and these are just my own opinions, but some records aren't worth it, being in the top 100. But that's what you get, when everyone votes for their favourite records. Youngsters will select the tunes that dominate the charts now, when I on the other hand would pick the older anthems. I could fill a list of 100 records will only records released pre 2010.
It's a nice mix with a few wicked anthems, certainly worth being mentioned in the top 100. It's literally a mixture of everything. Impressive how they managed to cram in 100 records in a 28 minute long mix. I couldn't do it. A lot of cutting and pasting, right? This could be a good mix for you all to work out to? Go to the gym and crank up the volume?
As good as this mix is, I've got mixed feelings. Again, my personal opinion, but some aren't worth it being in a top 100. They are good records, don't get me wrong, but not the finest record ever made by any artist. And at certain stages it's a bit too crammed. 28 minutes is OK, 58 minutes would be a bit better.
You still get the Hardcore coming at you through your speakers. So who am I, complaining about anything, right? I am a miserable old geezer.
