"Not a bad CD but it's cheap price was indicative of what you got, in other words ... you do get what you pay for."

The Freshest Drum&Bass CD In Years

"I have bought many Drum&Bass compilations in the last four years, none of them have been as fresh & exciting as Shadow: Hard Sessions. Hanna's 'Plagues', Magnetic's 'So Dark Now', Illform's 'Voices from Cellar X', & Droids 'Adrenalene' are my favorites, yet I still love the whole CD overall. You can definitely play the CD from beginning to end without stopping. Look out for Droid, Illform, Hanna, & Magnetic CD's."

Strong, dark and just the right price

"For solid, current drum'n'bass flavors from a label that's been giving it to us for years at a quality level, this little 10-tracker is a steal for the price they're selling it at. You can find it in a lot of local stores as well (even non-music stores), so there's no excuse not to try it.It's got some of the hard stuff if you're into that (Illform's "Combustion Chamber" and Hanna's "Plague"), but has some more accessible stuff (the live band Droid's "Adrenatone" and Magnetic's "Attrition"). With 2 tracks each from 5 very strong artists, the CD really can't go wrong. If you're into d'n'bass at ALL, you should get it. Has more flavor than the average compilation we've been seeing of late, and at this price (brand new!), you really, really can't go wrong. Fans have been spending 3 times that amount on similar items, only to find out it has half the solid tracks that Shadow's put on this disc."
