This isn’t new, by any stretch of the imagination, but for some reason I completely forgot to post about it back when it was released. Shame on me, because Hardcore Syndrome <\/em>is quite possibly the best Hardcore Tano*C release yet.<\/p>\n

I must admit that I usually feel a sharp pain in my wallet upon buying a Tano*C CD, as aside from the occasional Technorch\/Alabaster tune I’m usually paying out 1500-ish yen for a single Betwixt & Between track. This release, however, has got plenty to keep NRG\/Freeform fans happy, even without including any Betwixt tunes. How is that possible, you cry? Well, this one includes Hase’s absolutely excellent ‘intelligent NRG’ track, Meditation<\/em>, alongside some typical kenta-v.ez madness and some nice tunes from Alabaster and Technetium. Even the ‘happier’ efforts are a bit harder than normal here, with DJ Champ and RED ALiCE’s Warp Attacker <\/em>joined by umbrella’s Optical Force<\/em>. Finally, we get some extremely hard schranz-esque hard NRG courtesy of Beserk+Haste. If the synths sound a little familar, then you might have picked up on the fact that this is actually one of Betwixt & Between’s pseudonyms – used mainly for experimental\/harder tracks. This is one of the more listenable B+H tunes, and definitely worth checking out, as is the whole CD.<\/p>\n
