Ahh that's brilliant, i remember when it was on beats 24-7, and then was really disappointed when the site disappeared and i never got a chance to get a DAT sourced version of the full tune!
Such a well produced tune.

This could be one of the most under-appreciated, and under-listened-to tracks in recent years. A truly stunning instrumental track from Darren Hotchkiss. It's available for free as well. Phenomenal.
Darren Hotchkiss - Near The End.
Here's another. Probably not quite "gem" territory, but it's one I've always really, really liked - and I don't think too many people know about it. Fond memories of listening to this one wandering around Saigon. Mmmm, those were the days.

Although this isn't the one from Bonkers 6 (which is the one I'm talking about) it's still very similar.

Haha excellent, you just successfully ID'd a tune for me that I've wanted to know the name of for about 5+ years now. Could never ID it though because i didn't remember it having any vocals. Maybe someone ripped it, i don't know. Also i do know Bonkers 6 to an extent but still somehow missed this tune. I heard it at a rave.

'Dougal & Mickey Skeedale - Look At The Stars' is a wicked tune. Bonkers 6 is the tits. The first actual CD of Hardcore I ever heard (I was just given Vibes' mix). It was the first time I was listening to Hardcore knowing what it was. 'James Venus - Night Driving' got me hooked. Fcuking SICK.

Imagine if you had heard Bonkers 3 first. Would have blown your mind.

I have to admit that Bonkers 3 is one that - despite owning - I have rarely listened to. Bonkers 4 is the earliest in the series that I know thoroughly.
I will make an effort to listen to it this week, Matt. :-)

Bonkers 3 was my 3rd Hardcore Album after Scott Brown Hardwired and Bonkers 12; close enough...
Best Hardcore Album ever, all 3 CDs are amazing
