Should it ever come back, a Fracus & Darwin Bonkers CD is a MUST! Get Thumpa to do a classics disc and Scott Brown to do his usual and it would be a winner!



So many great memories in that pic. A weird feeling of happiness mixed with depression knowing that it will never be the same again.

Dowster track is amazing and sorry to say but the original version of Get Away by the Canada trio takes Gammers Remix to the cleaners.

I was about 15-16 the first clubland hardcore album came out and appreciated it to a certain extent. Slowly learnt what a shitstorm afterwards it created. **** them.

WHY WHY WHY THE **** do people not like Bonkers: The Original? I love that Bonkers, especially the Chris Unknown mix - it is one of my all time favourite hardcore mixes. And again, people have also in this thread criticised Clubland X-treme Hardcore! Some of it is ****ing amazing! Well, not all hardcore mixes can be amazing guys, that is a fact of life - licensing and such and the PECULIAR WAYS of the hardcore producers djs and mcs - BUT that is life.

Don't kill hardcore - love hardcore! Hate hardcore? i do not

TRY IT YOURSELVES
[actually furious, again]

Bonkers: Original Hardcore was OK, but nothing special. The problem with Clubland Hardcore is that 90% were remixes, the mixes were kept at the slowest possible tempo, and there were no transitions or DJ tricks on the mixes, yet people who were new to Hardcore during that era were acting like it was the greatest and most hardcore thing on the market and paid no attention to series like Hardcore Nation, Hardcore Adrenaline, Hardcore Underground, & Hardcore Heaven. So when a series that was built on more originality was bought out by AATW, it was just common sense that the tile Bonkers would be no where near the same that it was. Sharkey's mix was the saving grace. Unknown's mix had some good tracks, but the mixing was lacking.

They have absolutely heard them, and from what I've seen most everyone on here hates not those complications. I absolutely loathed them as well.

Yes, everyone has different opinions, but it's not wrong to mention that that sound is/ was widely panned, and that there's a reason Bonkera and CLXHC both stopped around the same time .. Fans hated how they ended

****, Breeze's mix on either 8 or 9 wasn't even hardcore. It was DnB with, at best, some dubcore (and the "best" is user very lightly).

Hardcore Heaven is probably the closest thing that is still going. Has been around for decades.
