I stand by a statement I made many years ago this is EASILY the most well structured and amazing piece of music ever produced in any hard dance genre. I had the pleasure of playing on the same night as Sharkey a couple of times. an absolute legend and this was groundbreaking when I 1st heard it and its almost reduced me to tears now absolutely fucking beautiful track.
In my opinion this is the finest Hardcore track EVER produced. It has it all. Sharkey was waaaaay ahead of his time with this track. I was taken on a journey from my early teens through to my late twenties and this (along with many others) was the soundtrack...but that remix has a special place in my heart. Rinsin!
i'm out about to gather the strong the best way to describe the UK/US (commonwealth nations). is that it is a ship (corporation) the establishment are the crew officials and the voters (human employees/slaves) are its rowers.. the rowers that play up end up getting put in the holding cell (jail time) and the non-voters (rebels) are the rats scurrying around on their ship getting exterminated where they can get them I'm the man going around this corporate ship looking to take those worthy enough off of that ship and sail our own righteous ship instead this righteous ship (to which the lord will give us) will sail with our Lord god watching over us and policing ourselves as we should in his eyes (todays writings are not originals but they do still contain some top notch commandments that i hands down before the Lord agree with) not only from within the ship.. but from outside vessels looking to sink our ship or even capture it however instead of it being called a ship... it'll be a kingdom on the land surrounded by nations (other vessels) ruclips.net/video/AzbcEus1Mbs/видео.html proverbs 14 2Whoever walks in uprightness fears the LORD, but he who is devious in his ways despises him. 11The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish. 28In a multitude of people is the glory of a king, but without people a prince is ruined.

I remember buying this on vinyl when I was 14 during my hardcore years. In hindsight most of the music I was buying back then was awful but I remember this blowing me away.
Yep - he's still playing out from time to time. Saw him DJ and MC at at a classic happy hardcore night in Vauxhall on Saturday (18th Oct). He played a classic trancecore/freeform set which was absolutely banging. Still a great MC too.
Totaly agree with you. I can imagine how cool that would be in the summer with this track blasting the speakers right off =] Hey, if you want, you can request any tracks you want uploaded. I might not have some though, lol.
One of the finest tracks ever laid! I used to listen to this all the time back in the day, and the album was awsome. I once played this whilst watching the sun rise over the coast. A life changing experience!
I just love the way he plays with tempo. One minute its fast then its slow then its a mix of both!! He has talent. The melodies, the layering, its all just incredible! More of the same please Mr Sharkey:))) Try Asscending Angels also from Sharkey. Its even better in my humble opinion!!
Thanks DJ Capture. I was an MC for 10 years so have thousands of tracks in my library. It's a case of either running upstairs to get them, or listening to youtube and sitting on my arse! Sod running! I love Hardcore, and have listened non stop since the early 90's when the likes of Slipmatt, Lime, Prodigy and Ratpack were tearing up the scene! I have worked with a few legends, including Sharkey, Hixxy, Sy, Storm, MC Junior to list a few.
I got this cd for £2.99 down my record store a few yrs ago, but i so wish i had the vinyl, i cained this cd so much, i made a back up copy, and hid the original away!!!!

It really is incredible. The breakdown brings me to tears every time!
It still sounds fresh today! Amazing piece of music!
Waaaaaay ahead of its time.
Still as fresh today as it was back inna day.!
Faaaaakin chooooooon

thats not an opinion its based on good judgement as its seriously difficult to deny such
i'm out about to gather the strong
the best way to describe the UK/US (commonwealth nations). is that it is a ship (corporation) the establishment are the crew officials and the voters (human employees/slaves) are its rowers.. the rowers that play up end up getting put in the holding cell (jail time) and the non-voters (rebels) are the rats scurrying around on their ship getting exterminated where they can get them
I'm the man going around this corporate ship looking to take those worthy enough off of that ship and sail our own righteous ship instead
this righteous ship (to which the lord will give us) will sail with our Lord god watching over us and policing ourselves as we should in his eyes (todays writings are not originals but they do still contain some top notch commandments that i hands down before the Lord agree with)
not only from within the ship.. but from outside vessels looking to sink our ship or even capture it
however instead of it being called a ship... it'll be a kingdom on the land surrounded by nations (other vessels) ruclips.net/video/AzbcEus1Mbs/видео.html

2Whoever walks in uprightness fears the LORD,

but without people a prince is ruined.
May the Lord god bless those of us (house of israel) and not all
What are you on? The best hardcore track ever😂😂😂😂 PMSL
It's good like but a million miles away from the best ever!
I agree. Best ever.
I heard this track in its heyday and again nearly 20 years later and it still gives me goose bumps. Get in sharkey.
Best Hardcore DJ & PRODUCER.. True pioneer of the scene! ! This & his Brainstorm offerings were what made him.. Also awesome MC!
Agree with every comment on here. Unbelievably ahead of it's time and this gets in my top ten tracks of all time ❤
This track is an absolute beauty. Sharkey was amazing around this era, this and The Awakening blow my mind every time.
I remember buying this on vinyl when I was 14 during my hardcore years. In hindsight most of the music I was buying back then was awful but I remember this blowing me away.
+s lenn yep this blew me away aswell
This was the transitioninti hard house. The awakening was another good one.
Ditto!
Incredible track, I agree.
1 Of the best tracks on all the bonkers collection. Awesome!!
Bonkers 3 pal. Its what inspired me to start DJing.
I fell in love with it when I bought the album back in college and still own it 🤟
absolutely timeless. the whole album and the freeform vibe from back then was immense. temporal rift and mind launch were also quality
One of the finest, if not the finest, hardcore tracks. The whole album is ground breaking.
Epic!! No other word for it. Well ahead of it's time as is the whole 'Hard Life' album. Sharkey epitomises Freeform and it's a shame he's now retired!
He's not retired at all
Yep - he's still playing out from time to time. Saw him DJ and MC at at a classic happy hardcore night in Vauxhall on Saturday (18th Oct). He played a classic trancecore/freeform set which was absolutely banging. Still a great MC too.
He's back now!!
Totaly agree with you. I can imagine how cool that would be in the summer with this track blasting the speakers right off =]
Hey, if you want, you can request any tracks you want uploaded. I might not have some though, lol.
😂
Ridiculous how ahead of it’s time this is . Free form in all ways .. haunting hardcore I call it
This track was a master class.
One of the finest tracks ever laid! I used to listen to this all the time back in the day, and the album was awsome. I once played this whilst watching the sun rise over the coast. A life changing experience!
Without a doubt THE best hardcore tune, ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always turning up the volume when I hear this :)
Classic Album 👍
Quality tune, what a guy sharkey is. Hope he's on the mend 👍
This tune was SOOOOO Far ahead of its time. Nothing even came close in those days. The production and layering of sounds is just immense!!
Yip I love putting the headphones on and blasting the volume on this and closing my eyes :P
possibally the best album i ever got. groundbreaking stuff, still makes me smile today:)
From 3:36 and 4:40 WOW!! What a Classic. What a blast from the past. This would be great in a soundtrack to a Film. Goosebumps listening to this.
Absolutely love this choon since it's release. Got a copy on vinyl.
Amazing tune. Love it ❤
Such a talent, a beautiful piece of music, the train like beat.... amazing.
I just love the way he plays with tempo. One minute its fast then its slow then its a mix of both!! He has talent. The melodies, the layering, its all just incredible! More of the same please Mr Sharkey:)))
Try Asscending Angels also from Sharkey. Its even better in my humble opinion!!
The break beats rock too
Best free form hardcore track ever made. Great tune sharkey..... ammmmmmazzzing!!!!!!
best dance tune ever
Still a beast of track 💪💪💪
Great tune 👍
The layering.... jeez come back Sharkey
I think Sharkey created Freeform. Brilliance.
A masterpiece.
1 of the best tunes ever :)
Perfection 🙌.
Totally! The music nowadays is good but! I dont think it beats the OldSkool.
i know i loved Sharkey's bonkers stuff the best probs XD

Theres even a bit of Vangelis to this track. Wonderfull!!!
i never really liked the direction hardcore was going in 99 and onwards, but this tune is a banger
one of the best freeform tunes out
Never knew their was a Marc Smith version, need to check that out =/
In my opinion one of the best hardstyle Tracks ever.
Hardstyle? You serious?! :/
Er, Hardstyle. Its Freeform Hardcore
Yes
Fantastiche :)
Hardcore, Freeform, whatever you want to call it, it’s Trance
Cool. I LOVE The Prodigy =]
Beautiful tune man, so well done.
I got this cd for £2.99 down my record store a few yrs ago, but i so wish i had the vinyl, i cained this cd so much, i made a back up copy, and hid the original away!!!!
