You probably won't ever hear music like that again unfortunately.

But you're older, wiser and probably tired and wee bit jaded. You had fresher ears back then.

In 8 years time someone else will pull out the best examples of mnml or wonktastic dubstepcore and hold them up and say "will we ever hear quality like that again".

There were some great records released 8 years back, but there was also reams and reams of shite, uninspired chuggy generic loopfests.

There's some cracking stuff coming out these days, its just different stuff, enjoyed by different people for different reasons.

I used to love hardcore. Can't quite describe how excited I used to get going out raving... but it was more to do with being 15 then the music itself. Jesus wept, I listen to some of the crap I liked back then with slightly wiser ears and shudder. Beverley craven singing 4am over a breakbeat? For shame....
