From the songs I own:
RUNAWAY by Leo River: DANG this guy's got vocals! Quite frankly DAMN impressive work from GGM, everything is just very well-produced and Leo doesn't disappoint!
A
RIDE ON MY SPEEDY CAR by Garcon: Hi-NRG delivers a smirker, a great number with the originality of Bomba mixed with that sense of fun and humor Garcon instilled in such classics as Booga Booga Chew Chew, blended with that delicious ingredient of car steel. Very nicely produced with above-par synth riff.
A-
LOOKING FOR LOVERS by Ducky Chix: Sinclaire really seems to have his style a bit more down-pat, and it's showing. Ducky Chix (whomever the vocalist is) does a great job vocally (most Sinclaire-picked girls tend to have some great star power)... the only disappointments are the synth riff (forgettable) and the fact that it's ANOTHER estrogen ride. AVEX! HEAR OUR CRIES! WE WANT NIKO DAMN IT!
B (Winner of ":3" award for cutest on the album)
INTO THE GAME by Powerful T.: And then ABeatC cast down a thunderbolt from the sky, smiting all those that had abandoned its side. And T. the Powerful did smile, and there was much awesome. And the synth riff caused many to asplode, and his voice did boom to the believers with news of joyous days to come, if all works could be like his.
A+
KISS ME DIVINE by Mark Foster: The intro's really cool, but it's clear that Tokyo Tonight was inspired by this song. I can practically sing it over this song. Even so, I think this song is better-- something about it is more original.
B- (dropped a sign due to releasing two songs so freaking related in such succession)
WILDLIFE by Jay Lehr: Now THIS one's smooth. I love how it's produced, and it's just... a great experience to listen to.
A
MY GASOLINE by Daniel: I'm somewhat torn, really. On one hand the chorus is a good bit sloppy, and that's a hard thing to achieve in dance music. Daniel sounds angry somehow— probably warranted for this song— but there's little tricks that sound like he's straining, which brings it down a notch. On the other hand, the synth riff is quite frankly addictive and superior, and there's a nice classic feel to it, almost "back when Eurobeat was THE Pop Genre" feel.
B (originally B-, increased one sign for excellent synth riff)
PURPLE EMOTION by Go2: Intro almost reminded me of Space Boy. Something seems unusually Pop about it— perhaps the fact that it uses a similar chord change to the song "That Thing You Do" by the Wonders (yes, from the movie of the same title)... it almost sounds screamingly gay until you hear that it is, in fact, an ode to a girl (by... two guys. What kind of girl do they think she is??) that the protagonist(s) love(s). It's good MUSIC at the loss of Eurobeat-ness.
B-
GOT TO BE CERTAIN by Cherry: This one has a great novelty factor to it, reminds me a LOT-a-lot of very early Eurobeat. Cherry's vocals aren't as on-spot as they've been in previous songs, but the song has a sort of cuteness to it which I enjoy.
B (runner up for ":3" award)

Anyone else having the same?
Just a thought though, maybe i'm crazy, but I think Looking for Lovers meant to be satirical because they're "independent", yet "looking for lovers". What does everyone else think? There are also other instances like "'Always on the loose' is our password" and "The program was set down to help and to check each other", artist name... Good lyrics but the song is kind of average
