Customer Reviews
A nice collection!
Best Of Bonkers gathers tracks taken off or from the same time period of the earlier Bonkers that have been forgotten. Hixxy & Re-Con have a classic Happy Hardcore mix full of cheese, kickdrums, & those chipmunky vocals we all love! Sharkey & Druid open their mix up with an intro-remix of Toytown. After track 4, the mix leaves the Happy times behind and sends you through the evolution of Trancecore to Freeform. Scott Brown's mix is nothing spectacular. He throws in the same tracks that he has over used on his recent cd mixes. It's a shame Brown didn't throw in any of his older tunes.
Overall, Best Of Bonkers is a decent collection of tunes and is a good example on how Hardcore music has changed from 1996-2007 (2008 by now). Bonkers 17 was an excellent follow up to this album because vol.17 was a fresh canvas to be used with upfront tracks!
Good for the hardcore and happy hardcore lover
This is a great collection of hardcore and happy hardcore tracks. The mixing is good and there is a nice diversity of sub-types. All three discs are worth a listen though you will likely gravitate toward one or two depending on your preferred style. This is my favorite Bonkers album. If you like the genre then you should be clicking the buy button already. You could definitely do a lot worse.
