have been a fan of hc since waaay back in the day. admittedly, less of an active fan now, but am always happy to be linked to new beats of his.
thanks for the heads-up

i don't care for his newer stuff, so i'd have to say yeah.

a little too 'hands in the air' for me.... ; )
his stuff has been hit or miss for me since his first lp.
'the persistence of memory' was probably the last thing from him that i thought was really really good.

HC is like the dnb equivalent of stanton warriors. Just stick a simple dnb pattern over a popular song to play in his sets, like warriors do with breakbeat a lot of the time. His remixes are quite uninspiring personally but I still rate him as an artist and his original productions are real good. High Society is a good album.

he just kicks out cheesy poppy drum and bass
his stuff is often tacky but it's in a shameless way
i like most of his tracks there just party tunes.

The dubstep remix is alot better IMO. High contrast is FAR too predictable.

not a big fan myself
I enjoyed return of forever when it dropped for about 5 minutes...
I really didn't like what he did with renegade snares...

2003 essential mix = sickest thing ever.
2007 essential mix = deeply average.

High Contrast has made some amazing tracks. Some of his remixes of pop songs have been a bit 'cheesy', but they still get everyone jumpin about. His remixing of DnB is class though, Firefox and 4tree - warning remix was DIRT.
Papua New Guinea is class.
If anyone was going to touch Renegade Snares it was him.
Racing Green signified a certain Hospital time for DnB where that was the sound, but it was still good. Basement track is heavy.
Basically, i like High Contrast.
