The Early Hardcore Techno Canon - A kickin' list of 90s Gabber tracks worth listening to

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the Hardcore Techno scene of the 90s again - as should be very obvious, by now.
Freshlings and rookies of all kinds poke their nose into this strange and shaded domain - and information, facts, and the truly good stuff remain hard to find.

Because, let's face it, this sound does not have much documentation, exposure, collected data for the outside eye... yeah there were a few fanzines here and there, one or two TV specials, but beyond that?
Thus we get the feeling it's mostly the same few tracks from this decade that get thrown around and around again... usually taken from the more well known "Hardcore" compilation CD franchises.

Thus, we arrived at the idea: how about creating a type of "Early Hardcore Canon"? A kind of road map for the brand new Hardcore Techno explorers - and everyone else, as well.
The tracks that connoisseurs, disc-spotters, and experts on this topic consider to be the vital, defining, and most important tracks and releases in this field. The backbone of the Hardcore movement, to this day.
This could be also useful for Early Hardcore DJs that are on the look-out for new material to feed their sets with.

Such a list - of course - can not be complete, and will be highly subjective.
As there were literally thousands of early hardcore tracks in the 90s - and the same amount of differing opinions on 'what's hot or not'.

But, alright now, here we again:
