The Hardcore Overdogs: Hard electronic producers doing calm, soothing and tranquil ambient sounds

There is hardly any more brutal music genre out there than hardcore techno, right?
The scene's players and producers are rumored to be true strong-heads, thriving with a lack of sleep and social contacts, living eagerly on a sustaining supplement of caffeine and stronger substances.

And have you ever been to a true underground hardcore rave (preferably in a squat basement?)
people just go berserk there, fists, arms and knees are flying around, slam-dancing, pogo, blood on the dancefloor (no, this is not an exaggeration. i bled on the hardcore floor many times, too).

So yeah. due to this, it's very surprising that this toughest-to-the-core contingent has produced a number of tracks that i would considers to be amongst the most tranquil, softest, soothing dark ambient music.
(often) beatless drones, strings, chimes, melodies... swinging between the acerbic and the saccharine.
no hardcore aggression or fury in these tracks at all. no more Mr. Macho Gabber!

this is astonishing, deservers to be presented, and that's what we are gonna now.

10 dark ambient tracks from the releases of hard electronic producers. Mostly by the "true hardcore", but we also included stuff by people who played a major role in harder forms of electronics, even though they might have ended at other genres later, like not-as-fierce Techno.

let a tear drop fall into your tea while listening to these heart-rending tracks!
