2004 was alright, it was 2005 when it went shite lol
you're right for once i'd say around the end of 05 was pretty much the last time i properly listened to anything new (at least from the uk) don't give 2 fcuks what they produce now it's just never caught my attention maybe a few have but that's a rare thing nowadays

give it a try, starting with the pp2014 samples
I heard the PPF samples but that's about it. No Bonkers in about 5 years almost so whats going on?
well no bonkers means a pretty dire hardcore scene imo if you listen to every bonkers from 1-7 it shows the happy hardcore rise & fall and 8-17 shows the uk hardcore rise and fall imo it seems to capture it perfectly when there is no bonkers things seem to be pretty bad that's the way i'm looking at it anyway

Yeah your right! remember it well, cause it was released just before my 18th birthday, and I remember me, my brother and a friend went to Belfast that day and I bought it in Belfast, and my birthdays next Wednesday! kind of hard to believe that was 10 years ago

Some say Bonkers 7 was a failure but there are tunes I like on it though and the last Bonkers was hardly the biggest one but the Sharkey mix had some nice tunes as usual.

Do you know, I keep seeing people saying that that "some say" etc etc and I too have also said it in the past....but I've only said it because I saw *other* people saying it and just assumed it to be the case...
but in "real life" I think I've met/heard about 2 people who were around at the time, who didn't like it (or at the least still don't like it.
So I really don't know how much truth there is in that, a person might assume that Clubland are hated worldwide for all the hate they get on *here*...but is it? far from it.
I fail to see how you can't like Bonkers 7, it's awesome! :)

The only problem it had was that it had less Happy Hardcore and more 'Trancecore' while it was Happy Hardcore that made Bonkers in the first place but there where tunes on there that where as good as any other I have heard before. I think if they released a Bonkers 8 in 2000 it would have followed the same league but I think a the time they felt it was time to end the series and by the time Bonkers 8 came out there was fresh new material to rebuild the series although that didn't stop Sy from doing his 'Best of Bonkers 1 & 2 mix' which might be the reason why he never returned to Bonkers after that lol
Happy 10th Birthday, Bonkers 12
