Lovely track. Sums up the HU3 vibe rather nicely!

I can't believe I'm even contributing to the whole RB discussion (yawn) but he would have made so much more money if they were released 6-7 years ago. I think that there's such a minimal market for them these days.
I'm pretty confident that we will never see a full digital catalogue release of RB. The wheels appeared to start moving a few years back when he started the HTID label and a few RB tracks were released through that, but then that was quickly halted again.

All the stuff here https://www.trackitdown.net/recordlabel/129813/htid.html
As far as i can see theres sacrifice, Phaze 2 phaze, Hot Looking Babes, Love Comes, Tantric and MDMA from the original Raverbaby label
I do wonder what the reason for not releasing these is, there has to be a genuine one other then laziness?

I've just baked a ton of cakes.
Could sell them while they're still fresh and in demand, but no, i think I'll wait until they're stale and nobody wants them.

But ever since HU7 came out, everything else is bollocks right? Not even a compilation with dedicated breaks and freeform CDs can hold a candle to HU7's variety, and F&D throwing out all of their drum loops except one stop-start rhythm that everyone was complaining about 4 years ago really brought out their true potential.

Erm, I'm not sure what you mean, really. I don't think I've ever said any of that. Do elaborate, let's discuss things. :)
EDIT: Also, is there a recent compilation with dedicated freeform & breaks CDs? Which one?

That was a minor vent based on what people have been saying on here, really. And naturally the album I'm talking about is HU6.

I think it's pretty natural to get excited about new things. You get it in the mail, unwrap it, it smells like a new album, you know a load of work went into it, you listen, you're happy to be a part of it. :) Did you expect people to bash HU7? I love some of it, especially the Shima & Storm mix. There are parts I'm not fond of or that are forgettable.
To tell you the truth, I often wish Gaz & Nick did some solo work again and didn't try to adhere to the "modern" / "edmhousecore" production standards so much. For me, solo Darwin tracks and solo Fracus tracks are some of the best, most emotional and most memorable music ever. Some of it must be nostalgia, of course, but I still think that if they did some work "the old way", incredible things could happen. Then again, F&D means things like the "Never Let Go" remix, "Come Home" or even the recent "World Collide" or "Join Us Now". Plus I get the idea behind teaming F&D up because of bookings and stuff and that it's not the easiest career in the world, so there's little room left for extra creativity.
So yeah. :) As long as there are gems to be found and heard, I'm happy!

*senses you didn't like HU7*
We tried to showcase variety within the mixes, rather than sectioning off things so that only the previously engaged pay any attention. I realise it probably didn't work entirely, or you wouldn't be so grumpy, but then by the same metric neither did HU6 as vast swathes of people loudly shouted about what CD they wouldn't even bother to listen to.
What the scene needs is a compilation that *everyone* actively gets behind and works towards. Obviously that isn't going to happen, or it would already.
Being acid spittingly snidey towards the few people who have been trying probably isn't the best motivator at the start of a year, but hey ho.

This track is ok, nothing special imo and certainly not the best Darwin track on the album. No love for Without Fear?
