Just started listening now. Sounding good so far, Jealous is really good, very threatening.
The *ahem* "Bonus" Hixxy disc will probably never get listened to.

Styles mix beats them all hands down. Breeze is also a good mix, and as for Hixxy, it's pretty shit and i'm being kind when i say that.

its to dip his finger in the pie isnt it? i think i remember someone saying he wasnt allowed to do any licensed mixes other than bonkers, not sure why though.
after listening again the first two discs definatly come out on top, styles' is more uplifting but if i had to choose id rather listen to breeze's mix.
am i the only one that thinks hixxys disc has got some decent remixes?

I don't particularly like any of this, but I'm pretty sure Hixxy's Bonus CD is just a bunch of tracks.
He wasn't making a mix, so you can't judge it as a mix. He just put some of his songs on as a bonus. I don't really see the point, but that's okay.
Hixxy's best tracks are from 1996, Wanthing to Get High (with Sharkey) Attitude (with Trixxy) Ahh-ha-ha and his remix of The Timespan- Shout Now (1995) and 1995 classic, Forever (with Bannaman)
His new stuff disopointed me on the last Clubland Extream Hardcore so thats another reason for not getting this one.

Well I've listened to both the mix's, not going to bother with the 3rd disk.
All in all, I must say I like it. I think it's really good, some great tracks, and spot on mixing as per.

Windows Media Player was a complete c**t in that it tried to apply the CD1 tags onto the other 2 CDs so I spent ages renaming all the tracks after I ripped them onto me laptop
Anyway it's pretty much what I expected and it's an alright album, apart from Hixxy's mix which is absolutely AMAZING (joking!) Can't wait til next month bring on HH3

One good thing about Hixxy's disc is the new remix of Just Accept It. **** me it's dangerous!
I love the vocals in U R My Phantasy.
Pull Over (Re-Edit) is mint!
Hixxy remix of If That's Alright With You is shite, as is 1000 Kisses, as are most of Squad-E's remixes. I liked Squad-E's remixes on Bonkers 15 but these are crap.
I reckon this CD will get boring after a week or so.
