And by this, we mean CDs that were sold globally in chain stores, super markets, gas stations, advertised on TV and in glossy magazines. I.e. we do not look at the pure underground for once - and neither at country specific stuff (like CDs that were only known in the Netherlands, or in Germany, etc ).
Also one-off stuff or limited series are not included - gotta be a long running strain of compilations.
1. Thunderdome
And various other CDs that were also done by ID&T or Arcade, had a similar style and often the same artists and tracks, such as Earthquake.
2. Terrordrome
The first few compilations were done by artists from the Netherlands and had a "Dutch Gabber" style, while the later ones were done by the Nordcore crew out of Hamburg, with their "German Hartcore" style
And Terrordrome IX had both.
3. Raver's Night + Ruffneck Collection + more
Ruffneck Records released a number of CDs that were incredibly popular.
4. Mokum compilations
Mokum had some well-known franchises too, like the "F**king Hardcore" series of CDs.
5. Braindead
Conceived by Shockwave Records and the "Street Trash Alliance".
The focal point of these CDs is the early speedcore, terror and industrial sound, and often these albums were harder than the rest.
The braindead editions have recently been made available digitally again. A good opportunity to look back at our 11 favorite tracks off these braindead CDs - from all seven official issues.
