Fantastic. I have totally missed that hinrg attack already released a sequel of the both series. Prelistend and the only thing i can say is: If you like eurobeat, if you like attack - you are in heaven.

Many songs seem to hit the higher grades.

Review in short....

I wouldn't mind so much if they released WAV format through Juno or Beatport as Akyr is going to do, but sticking with iTunes is poor :(

Why can't they just sell directly from thier website like before? No hassels, No Japanese text to translate. Just as easy as taking candy form a baby. I used to buy 12's right from Livemusic.com without any problem :evil:

Something seems awry. Now, I hate to say this about such a label as Hi-NRG Attack, but... some of the material we're getting on iTunes (specifically the "Bazooka Angels" and "Parapara Cool" series) seems to be "the stuff we had laying around but wouldn't put on a compilation like Initial D, SEF, or SEB".

I say this because a clear difference between the iTunes tracks and that of the released SEB tracks can be heard. Something about the SEB tracks seems more polished, more consistent, almost literally "shinier". The iTunes material, on the other hand, sounds a bit less refined, a bit less focused and a lot more "generated" than "hand-crafted". Now, this may not be a problem, in fact, I rather enjoy quite a few of the songs I've bought off of iTunes (I'll Be Your King Kong, Bandido Guy, and the Bazookistan material are STAPLES in my iPod and elsewhere). However, I get this feeling that LMS is doing, although to a MUCH smaller extent, what SAIFAM and AVEX are doing: Releasing lower-end productions or more obscure materials than they really could be.
I mean, they released some of the SEB classics on the iTunes service as well! Ganguro, DisCow MosCow, I Want Your Balalaika, Maid Attack... with the exception of a few DIRE classics, many of HRG's greats can be found there! Why not the rest of them? Why not release a "Best of HRG" or "HRG Classics" album, with such songs as Bazooka Pistolero, Caballero With Sombrero, Mad Cow, Suck A Bazooka... even oldies like Jammin' Spanish Men and Batman Is Bruce Wayne (could you imagine the market for the latter alone?) would be nice! I imagine they'd reach a lot more fans if they released their ultimate best of the early days up to a close-to-but-not-quite-immediate point in time not far from "now".

However, this is a meager complaint compared to the praise I have for them. They're pretty much the only honest label on American iTunes. SAIFAM is lying through their behinds about their America-released "Eurobeat" (translation: One or two golden tracks slipped into really bad pop remixes and just plain junk), and AVEX... OH! Don't get me STARTED on what AVEX is doing to American iTunes consumers!!!

I look forward to what HRG Attack can offer in the next few months and years.

I think you have a point. But at the same time I think you don´t. The money Hi-nrg earns, is probably biggest from Avex. So my guess is that Avex has a first-hand-choise of what songs they want. And in between there are lots and lots of songs that maybe never will be released, if it isn´t for iTunes.
I think it is pretty cheap way to ditribute songs on iTunes and that is why Hi-nrg attack won´t burn and and sell records.
For me, i don´t care, only I have access to the song, the distribution doesnt matter.
I think the SEB songs at latest. like from the 170:s is pretty average songs. But I am on the other hand the biggest fan of the label.
The songs I really miss is full version from the euromach-era that is still unreleased. I think Hi-nrg peaked during the euromach-era. After that I have never heard anythin close to that. Aerobeat and Eurobeat-flash is of course almost in the same leauge, but SEB is often a kind of disapointment with one really good song of 30. On euromach half the songs were pure quality.
The point is that it is positive that labels can relase many songs. In what way it doesnt matter...

Go Hi-nrg go. Continue relesaing and do it on iTunes. I rather have songs from Itunes, than nothing at all....

QFT!! and super uber cool intro. I think HRG has improved a lot better than Euromach. The songs were great, but just the fact that it was mix formatt didn't appeal too much to recieve full impact from song. On SEB , however I get the full song and ever since "I Want My Bailailaka" I have been ressurected to the greatness of HRG Attack+ now with more songs, we get both male & female vocal balance 8)
