There was some very breakbeat stuff, plus some harder stuff (eg Visa was a big Pleasuredrome track), but at that point the proper hardcore fast crap (imo lol) was already knocking about and was laughed at / looked down on as for the mad psychos who wanted to dance fast! ; (I can only speak of the way it was with the people who I knocked around with though, and perceptions change over time). But from a general term, I can remember calling the stuff i used to buy and love then as house (as apposed to hardcore).  Obviously as the years have gone by the word ‘House’ means something else, or incorporates so much more anyway, so its all changed.Re: Terrrorize and Elevation, I remember them as being top tracks when spannered, but they eventually got caned in the normal dodgy niteclubs (eg. Applebys!) so they soon got consigned to being dodgy rave tracks. That’s what it felt like at the time anyway, sure theres different slants on it.</blockquote>
