The Clubland albums are reliable for adreneline pumping solid dance music. This album compilation has some hardcore style tracks on for those who like it a little harder and faster.

On this album:

Spread over three CDs, the first disc kicks off with the piano laden 'Getting Better' by Darren Styles. This is fast, furious and has a superb breakdown in it. It harks back to the older rave style tracks while retaining a modern sound. Turn things up for Dutch producer Ferry Corsten as he lets rip with the storming 'Cry' which uses a soaring vocal and a powerful synth riff to great effect. Another highlight on the first disc is the track 'Insane' which has a very nagging hook.

Disc two next and I love 'Elements' from Neo Cortex which has a spine tingling riff and a lovely warm female vocal on it. Things get out of control with 'Heartbeatz' which has the most explosive riff and will get you straight onto any dancefloor.

The third disc is even harder than the previous two. Head for the brilliant 'Injected With A Poison' which is pure old skool, before rounding things off with the energising Ultrabeat.

Overall:

Fast, relentless dance for those who like it at a hectic pace. It is hard to listen to all in one go, but there are enough hits tucked into here to make it worth checking out.
