It's always hard trying to "genre-ify" music but I wouldn't have called
ANY of those tracks Happy Hardcore either. That style of music was
MASSIVE in Scotland in the early 90's until about 95-96 and I can
assure you, none of it had any of the qualities of early Reinforced,
Goldie etc. Matt was much closer with his "Mickey Mouse Gloves and
Chipmunk Samples" description.

For the record, I know about 6 of the tracks you mentioned, and would
never EVER classify them as "happy hardcore". Had you mentioned
"Cookin Up Your Brains" i might have been able to accept that one as
where you were coming from.
But your list has lost me even more.
Of COURSE that stuff is great! I just wouldnt call it happy hardcore.
derek.
