Had a proper listen to Scott Brown & Neophyte's and it's very very good! I was suprised that i prefered Neophyte's gabba to Scott's, but i do and you just gotta love that tune 'The Future Priests Of Now.' Fairly disapointed with 'This Is How We Do It' Remix by SB, i thought it was quite bland and lacked a catchy tune unlike the original.

OK, here it is... the review everyones been waiting for... "Jon O-T's review of Bonkers 15" Just for giggles, I have two ratings for each mix, My rating: how much I liked it, and Fair rating: how much I feel the mix should get for their efforts.
Hixxy & Re-Con:
Absolutly amazing mix! Had loads of catchy songs, many of which were a new surprise to me. Re-Con definatly made the mix an improvement from the previous bonkers, but superb work to both of them.
Favorite track(s):
4. Love comes
12. Scream
15. 21st century Rush
My rating: 9.5/10
Fair rating: 9/10
Sharkey & Marc Smith:
Quality! Hands down, best freeform mix I have ever heard. Very happy stuff most of the way through, and thats what I like. Love the way it seamed to flow from one track to the next, you can't tell when the track changes.
Favorite track(s):
2. Hold the Beat
9. Pump It Up
11. Count of 3
My rating: 8.5/10
Fair rating: 9.5/10
Scott Brown & Neophyte:
Not really my favorite genre of hardcore. Thought it probably would be mostly gabba though. Still, I'm glad theres something in it for everyone. It shouldn't just be 4 CDs of what "I" like. So in a way i'm kinda glad. For gabba though, pretty good mix!
Favorite track(s):
16. Back on track
My rating: 5.5/10
Fair rating: 9/10
Dougal & Gammer:
Another great mix, really enjoyed it! Got a bit wild afer track 11, gave it an interesting kick IMO. A nice mixture of mostly happy, and a little bit of gabba! Great work guys!
Favorite track(s):
5. Open ur Eyes
11. Rock that body
My rating: 9/10
Fair rating: 9/10
Appearence & packaging:
I liked advert, loved the front cover, and the individual CD's looked all right.
One small complaint is the little plastic bits that hold the CD's in place. Most of mine were broken. Sure it wasn't the record company's fault though.
To sum up... Personal favorite mix just has to be Hixxy & Re-Con though! I absolutly love it!!!
Bonkers 15: 9/10 (end of professionalism )

I panicked a little when the whole Golden Shower and Faceraping Paris Hilton bit came on, as I was on the phone to my nan. Still, liking the majority of it.
It's weird, before Bonkers 13 came out, on the Bonkers forums there was a topic about what people wanted to see in the future. It was posted by a fan of it all, but I remember posting about having b2b CD's. Seems weird now it's happened ^.~

And the moral of this topic (and most other topics funnily enough) is that we all have our preferences, likes and dislikes!
I haven't bought B15 yet - my kids are getting me it for xmas so i don't have to endure the usual site such as socks that say 'WORLD'S GREATEST DADDY' on them.
As a result of me not yet obtaining said item i can't comment on it yet. However, i have heard the majority of the tunes featured in 3 of the 4 mixes and i'm confident it'll be much better than the last 3 at least.
As for Gammer & Recon's involvement, more of the same i say.
Both bring something different to Hardcore and i want to see them stick around (especially as Gammer is almost as sarcastic as me)!
FACT!
Gammer's set at the last HTID was the best set i've heard this year and possibly one of the greatest live sets i've ever heard (not really relevant but a good indication of how important he is to the scene today).
Call me an arse kisser if you want, maybe i am! :p

CD 1 (Hixxy & Re-Con) - brilliant.
CD 2 (Sharkey & Marc Smith) - brilliant.
CD 3 (Scott Brown & Neophyte) - WTF worst thing I've ever heard.
CD 4 (Dougal & Gammer) - brilliant (so far (only on track 2)).
Will someone please tell me what kind of hardcore CD 3 is? I want to know so I can steer clear of it for the rest of my life! I prefer music with a nice, bouncy tune (toytown, timebomb, elysium), not music that makes me want to rip my ears off. It's worse than metal!
do you know what your saying ^^^ neophyte i legend hence the title "legends of the core" he is excellent but it is a strange style of hardcore but it still aint that bad but it is excellent scott brown and neophyte have done albums b4 on hardcore a new beginning hardcore the second coming and hardcore the third wave they are all amazing coz these two are so alike in stylespo i totally disagree with your opinion

just got this shipped from the UK, thanks amazon!
this is absolutely lovely!
I've only heard Sharkey/Marc Smith and Scott Brown/Neophyte cd but its absolutely bangin!
I'm not too keen on Dougal and Gammer and I'm not sure if going straight from gabber to Hixxy/Re-con would be wise so I'm saving those two for tommorrow
Bonkers 15 - Your thoughts?
