Anticore Records

Anticore Records is a legendary label from France that helped shaping the (Experimental) Hardcore sound, not only regarding French Hardcore. Is it notable for having early releases by Mouse and No Name (Under the moniker "Erase Head") - and arguably some of their best ones - that became sought after collector items, and deservingly so. Two other masterminds of Hardcore can be found here, too: Taciturne in one his disguises, and Armaguet Nad himself. The roster of artists is completed by Maniak, who is also, as far as I know, the one who ran the label, Joel Giraldou, and Metronome (of Fischkopf fame).

This is really groundbreaking stuff here, very deep, very complex compositions, that are much more sophisticated than your usual "Gabber/Speedcore" sound, really right at the beginning of the whole Experimental Hardcore thing.
