Only till midnight?

I disagree, Jorge's rants are nearly my favourite part of the show. XD

And last I checked, 'Blow Your Mind' is some kind of progressive rock album.

I think you guys spend enough time talking para para and the Japanese dance club scene as it is. It's much less exciting and fun to talk about para para when it's over the radio. :P Your insights into that are really interesting to listen to, though d~tan, it's like you're a window into a world most...

They could have easily offed that megamix for TIME and Dima. Who wants the same songs again in mix form? What a watse of cd space um didnt they do that in initial D fourth stage with the mega mix at the end it was kinda good....but then again the japs might like that!! not like avex cater for us an...

Stop talking over the one-track-flashback.

zoupzuop2 What stuns me is, for all his popularity under the Niko, D. Essex, Mako and Marko Polo, with Sinclairestyle he's sung a whopping ONE song. I imagine this is not due to Sinclairestyle's decisions, but Avex's. He wasn't Mako. That was Nando Bonini form Mike Hammer and Maio & Co. fame. N...

Thanks to Lebon the Smart I downloaded SEB 190 from the links he provided on InitialD forum before getting my sample copy from Avex ppl!!! :D One credible analysis by the Institute for Policy Innovation concludes that global music piracy causes $12.5 billion of economic losses every year, 71,060 U....

Hypertechno, Techno, whatever is the Hip Hop of the dance genre. It's nasty and dirty lyrics are a turnoff. *cough* cuzz words. Don't get it confused with Eurobeat's sexed up and double meaning lyrics. Those are cool 8) Yikes. Sounds like you haven't heard any rap before 1997. Where it was about th...

Personally, I look at Hyper Techno as being influenced by more unidentifiable sources than eurobeat is (Obvious being HI-NRG, Italo, Eurodance, etc) but seems to mostly draw its inspiration from late 80's early 90's 'techno'-dance, (2 Unlimited, C&C Music Factory, Snap, etc) eurodance, and even...

Other than being in a Gal Circle, what exactly qualifies her to do the job? If she's in there on name recognition alone, we could be in trouble. XD

It would be nice if this were still the 80s when the manliest of the manly could sing about sexually ambiguous things and having it simply written off as 'the style'.

Cosmic_Bard Well, everyone knows Eurobeat is mostly from Italo. However, Italo is also House. In the same way that the earliest Disco, Synthpop, Eurodance and even Hyper Techno are subgenres under the 'House music' umbrella. It's not the concrete rule, but basically, a 4/4 kickdrum/hihat bassline g...

I wouldn't say that Hyper Techno is a direct inspiration from eurobeat. Afterall, they were created during a very close timeframe, so an 'inspiration' or sorts doesn't seem too likely. Personally, I look at Hyper Techno as being influenced by more unidentifiable sources than eurobeat is (Obvious bei...

I don't really see what her age has to do with anything.

You know, WT, I think you're going to find a LOT more similarities than this with eurobeat.

Dance music as it stands is designed to be repetitive and eurobeat is doubly so due to being marketed to the Japanese who prefer familiarity to innovation when it comes to music.
