1. INTO THE SUNRISE / DAVE RODGERS
A mostly mediocre Dave song. The otherwise good chorus is ruined by terrible vocal delivery.
2. TONIGHT IN PARADSE / BELIGHT
Oh dear lord. I love light, cheery eurobeat just as much as the other person, but this just turns me off. I feel like I'm listening to something on a PBS kids program with this. Terrible production, really atrocious chorus, I can tell I'm not going to like this one bit.
3. HEART'S ON FIRE / DAVID DIMA
Extremely pedestrian chorus, but flash-forward to the riff and verses, and this is actually kind of catchy.

4. WALKING ALONE IN LONDON / MEGAN
Sorry, Leonardi, but whatever approach you're taking with your female tracks these days is not working. The warped vocal enhancers completely backfire against the tune here. The tune sounds kind of elegant, but the shrill production just destroys it.
/
5. CRAZY LITTLE LOVE / NUAGE
Meh, Nuage has had far stronger tracks in the past. This one just bores me to tears.
6. MAGIC CAR / POWERFUL T.
Again, I do not like the production quality here at all. Powerful T.'s performance is full of luster, but the dullness in the backdrop spoils it completely.
7. MISS YOU / MICKEY B.
Wow, this has got to be the worst Mickey B. song ever, by far. It's still more interesting than Nuage's song, but it's shockingly dull, nonetheless.
8. MAKE ME WONDER / LILLY
Ahh, it's nice to finally hear a fresh female out of HRG after two albums of Festari only. Though this is still eons away from the label's greatest tracks, it's not too bad.
9. BLUE / RICH HARD
Definitely a return to classic Rich Hard, but otherwise I must say this isn't that interesting.
10. FLYING FREE / STEPHY MARTIN
Hmm, sounds like a mid-late 2000's SCP disco fest. Anyway, I'm enjoying this, but Stefy has had better.
11. AMAZING LOVE / BABY GOLD
Overpowering chorus, repetitive synthline, and okay verses.
12. RINGTONE / BORIS
Another production with a Russian flavor, I suppose that's Boris' theme. Anyway, I really enjoy this one, though it sounds a little more similar to Shalaka Boom than I would've liked.

13. OVERJOY / LESLIE PARRISH
Yechh, what a horrible chorus. IClara is capable of so much better, unless years of cigarettes have finally caught up to her ability to sing. It's a relatively solid tune, but the implementation is completely botched up. Totally forgettable and disappointing sample. Doesn't sound like any improvement over Relight My Fire, sadly.
/
14. TEARFUL EYES / LES
Sheesh, this album sure has a thing with horrible choruses. Listening to this track again, I can't help but declare it a complete mess. The tune is totally unexciting, and the production is just ridiculously overpowering.
15. WELCOME TO THE SHOW / TANITH & DARK EVIL
Yikes. Really cold production, and absolutely horrible vocal exchange between Ennio and Linda across the whole structure. One of the worst experiments to ever cross SEB.
An absolutely terrible batch of samples. Sounds even worse than SEB 222. I'm starting to become evermore worried about the near future of the series.
Reminds me of Euromach.
