Music's Hypnotizing [2]
2008-07-16 by The Double KThe Hypnotist – Hardcore U Know The Score (Edit)
Now I know the title of this will immediately put some of you off (I can’t imagine why, but there’s no accounting for taste I guess…), but this isn’t your average banging ‘91 hardcore rave track. OK so it opens up with some huge techno stabs and a man shouting “Hardcore U Know The Score” – great if you like that sort of thing (and I do) – but nothing to write home about particularly.
Really this track is all about the parts where an incredible techno noise swoops in above the breaks. It can first be heard at about a minute into the track, and then it comes back a couple of times later on. You’ll know the bit I mean when you hear it – it’s totally wicked.
I’ve posted a short version of the track from one of those crappy rave compilations rather than the full seven minute version because the edit seems to have just as much of the swooping techno bit but less of the Belgian hardcore nonsense in between, which even I admit can get a bit much these days if you’re not really in the mood for it.

Ah… a genre classic from before hardcore became unlistenable. I was so clueless in the early 90s that I thought "hardcore – you know the score" was a phrase Squeaker had invented. (We used to say it a lot back then along with "Top banana." Simpler days…)
We used to say things like "watch your bass bins" and "'ave it!". Simpler days indeed.
