Bought this back in 1992 in Nebraska at my area mall's music store in the "Alternative" / "Various Artists" section. I was hungry for this type of sound. Being from the midwest, the predominant music style on the radio was classic rock, oldies, and country. I bought this because it had a sort of underground style to the packaging -- I had no idea who any of the artists were, but I'd been burned by flashy packaging on techno/rave CDs before.

To make a long story short, this compilation changed my musical tastes forever.

I'd long since lost the CD but today I found an MP3 I made of one tune from the disc in 1996 back when I was experimenting with the new-fangled MP3 software my friends were telling me about.

Just bought the CD and am looking forward to the nostalgia... What a terrific sampling of the early 90's scene!

Recently, I've become interested in early 90s dance music. I stumbled upon this CD and decided to try it. I was not disappointed. Most of the tracks are good (especially for their time) but "Hardcore Heaven" and "G Force" are still completely awesome when compared to modern dance music. Before buying this, I recognized "Prodigy", "DJ Seduction", "Orbital", and "Utah Saints". It's interesting to see just how much these artists (especially Prodigy) have changed since this album. All in all, this is a great collection of early 90s breaks and house.

a wonderful blend of various beats makes this compilation a must-have for those who want music that no one else has...although some tunes tend to stretch, overall this cd has the ingredients to make any groove session complete...highly recommended

A classic set of all the best rave/old skool tunes of the early 90s.Human resource's addition to this cd made it a must for me, they set the path that others could only follow.

this album rite here makes me feel old. Most of these tracks are the end of the old school house movement, because right after this began all the breakbeat started coming out and then to where we are today. If u feel nostalgic and wanna hear some old school tunes pick this up.

This comp is the best of early techno,Human Resource's Dominator is reason enough to buy this, but also one of Prodigy's first tracks ever, "g-force", is also included here, Istononik's ,Different Stokes" is classic underground hardcore,(later remixed by TEN CITY records ,as a deep house track) This is a great compilation that makes me long for the old skool days of JNCOs, warehouse parties and 3 day campouts and real PLUR, and did I mention UTAH SAINTS!!!!!CLASSIC, Deejay Junior Griggs aka Dj Gyro (humblemumbledj@hotmail.com)
