ah yeh! I was hoping you wouldn't say vice versa site but thanks again way, the reason for this is it's been like 3 weeks and I haven't got the extra details from the main man via email, maybe he on holiday.
but yeh, I'm sure I'll get those Arcade Happyhardcore CDs soon, I'm a bit bored of the recent happyhardcore, it's just sped up trance, I prefure the cheese and the crazy piano lines of 1996 (proper happy) my self and can't wait to hear German+Holand Happyhardcore aronnd 1996!!!

ah yes thunderdome, well looking at the front covers I didn't really think it would be happy hardcore, I thought it would be dark hardcore hence all the pitcures of spiders, skulls, snakes, scary clowns etc with names like 'back for your blood'! LOL!

thanks whispering but I'm fed up of UK Happyhardcore at the moment so this is why I'm trying to look at german's happyhardcore, some one on this thread sed he had one and sed it was good but what is it actually like? is it as pop'y like or vocaly or heavy on synths, the covers on those "happy rave" "happyhardcore" cds by rave just make me cringe in goodness and it shouts proper happy hardcore (not F-ing sped of UK trance) so can some one tell me in more detail on most of the tracks on the cd on what they sound like?

i think anything with the title 'happy rave' is going to be uber cheesy and most likely have lots of trance style stuff. and actually there are quite a few hardcore tunes on the happier side on the earlier thunderdomes, you won't find any now adays....
