01.Crossfire-crossfire
02.Impact-looking for trouble
03.Frankenstein-I sold my soul
04.Gilgamesj-heavy duty
05.Crossfire-real steel
06.Impact-drop dead
07.Crossfire-motorcycles
08.Gilgamesj-ticket to heaven
09.Frankenstein-lady luck
10.Crossfire-be crazy
11.Impact-misanthrope

Sticking with the spirit of Mixes, and compilations...this compilation was one of my first experiences with Dutch Heavy Metal. Three of the Four bands on this LP are from the Netherlands, the other(Crossfire)were from Belgium. The only band I went on to collect other records by were Crossfire. But thats only because I couldn't find stuff by the other bands. Crossfire records were easily found, I even have one uploaded some place here on this site(use the search function). This record has a very do it yourself look and feel, and had me falling in love with Gilgamesj as they sounded sort of like Dio era Rainbow. My favorite tracks on this comp are the Crossfire songs(especially "Motorcycles"), and Impact's "drop dead".
When a hardcore/punk band I was playing in toured, and recorded in Holland, I spent some time trying to track down the 7"s by Frankenstein, and Gilgamesj. I had no luck. Dutchies help a brother out with those. Please comment if you download.

    You might be suprised to know that Gilgamesj played in Holland last year. The current band most of the original members play in is called Zixth Zense. http://www.gilgamesj.nl/index.htm

    Frankenstein is not active but the band Jurrassic Park is made up from ex-Frankenstein members and plays small gigs sometimes. Of course they still play the Frankenstein songs... http://www.bosrock.nl/index.php?id=135
