Not my favourite HC track (that would have to be 'Return Of Forever'), but still an exquisite slice of melodic dnb. It's not surprising Underworld asked him to collaborate with them!!! 7.5/10.

A classic and what a classic. Hip Hop was so much better back then, it's too bad its degenerated in mental masturbation for white suburbanites who want to be pretend-gangsters. 9/10
Like I mentioned before, I don't really like mainstream hip-hop, but this song by Kid Cudi is actually pretty decent:

Those were some sweet breaks. I really like stuff like that. It's like a hybrid of glitch-hop and breakbeat. The only thing I didn't like was the piano part that chimes in 2/3 through. Other than that, it was as winner.
7/10

Hypnotic and Groovy, though I'm not a big fan of the "duuh" vocal samples or wind instrument samples, just outside of my sonic aesthetic. 6/10.
Bil Bless - Fun is Happy

hmmm....weird. I feel like i should really like this track, its got all the right elements, but something about it just doesn't gel for me...can't put my finger on it...maybe a bit too minimalist? I dunno. 8/10 for technical skill, 5/10 for enjoyment, so split the difference and give it a 6.5/10

^that was decent. not better than their older work but certainly better than anything on vicious delicious or Legend Of The Black Shawarma. I see they're incorporating distorted guitars into their music. Usually, I don't like it tracks but it works here. 6/10

alright, although im not a huge fan of the vocal...itd have to be like 2AM and id have to be tired as hell from dancing since 8 for me to get seriously down with this song, and since its not....6/10
Agent K & Bella - Sierra Leone (Alexis K Dubstep Remix)
I didn't find the wobwobwobs as annoying as I do in most dubstep tracks, but I found the epic piano breakdowns a bit over-the-top. It sounded like Paul Van Dyk making a dubstep track. 5/10.

Not bad. I usually don't like the whole "uplifting" sound, but this is decent. 6/10

That was weird as fuck!!! I really didn't know what to make of it for a while, but eventually that house funk won me over. 7/10. I actually have the opportunity to see Derrick Carter this Saturday

i like the glitchy percussion most. it does manage to create a nice driving atmosphere with just a few elements. makes u want to get up and move to the music. 7/10

Sick groovey old skul! The way house should be, it should have a nice groovey vibe, but shouldn't be all commercial sounding. Point for using those early ravey sounding electronic samples. I also kinda dig the retro video clip with the dark silhouettes dancing against weird backgrounds. 9/10
I am going to post this one again since I messed up the previous post:
Kid Cudi - Pursuit of Happiness (with MGMT)

Wasn't sure if I liked that or not at the start, but think I ended up doing, 7/10.
Because that featured MGMT, gunna keep up the trend and post this.
MGMT - Time of Pretend ( High Contrast Remix )

Normally those kind of electrohouse sounds annoy me..........but man, what an uplifting tune!!! The breakdown in the middle was really nice as well. 7/10.
Well I resisted posting this after the last HC track I rated, but I can resist no longer:
High Contrast - Return Of Forever
6/10 I think I would have liked this alot more in the late 90's
