The only one of the four original chapters that I own, and probably the second best. Really like XL Recordings: The First Chapter best - sweet house, rather than this more techno-centric release.
After The First Chapter, XL helpfully started putting descriptions of what you would find on the enclosed vinyl, so XL Recordings: The Second Chapter was sub-titled "Hardcore European Dance Music"; this one was "Breakbeat House"; but for XL Recordings: The Fourth Chapter they returned to the mystery approach, and no sub-title was forthcoming. By this time though, most punters knew what they would be getting, and the artists weren't exactly unknown either, containing the likes of Underworld, The Prodigy, Liquid etc.
The highlights here for me are Smokin' and Hoovers & Spraycans:
A1 Sweet Harmony (Liquid)
A2 Green Man (Rum & Black Mix) (Shut Up & Dance)
A3 Uptempo (Reese Mix) (Tronikhouse)
B1 On A Ragga Tip (SL2)
B2 Smokin’ (Project One)
B3 Keep The Fire Burning (The House Crew)
C1 Everybody In The Place (Fairground Mix) (The Prodigy)
C2 Hard Times (Nu-Matic)
C3 Right Before (First Project)
D1 The Bouncer (Housequake Mix) (Kicks Like A Mule)
D2 DJs Take Control (DJ Seduction Mix) (SL2)
D3 Hoovers & Spraycans (Mark One)

There's a bunch of great tracks here! Green Man, Uptempo and DJs Take Control are all classics; Keep The Fire Burning is one of my all-time favourites, and On A Ragga Tip is pretty much "Our Tune" for me & the Mrs!
Thanks a lot for this!
