The samples are up . I used that trick you guys did in the past just change the number at the end. I'll post my intial thoughts later.

ok here goes. SEB 181 clips mini review
01. Marko Polo- Jungle Fever- Seems Marco Racanti has stepped up to take over vocals for Marco Polo(this was brought to my attention by another good friend, but it definately is him) The clip overall sounds catchy with good Eurobeat overtones, but nothing like previous Marco Polo songs. I however think it's still sounds great.
02. Blood On Fire- GoTo & Christine- I really like that main chorus, catchy and the triplets sound great together, I do not really fancy the main Hook. It needs more Synths IMOP.
03. Daniel- My Heart Radio- Now this style I like More for Marco. It's a nice fusion of Eurobeat and a hint of POP. I wait for this one with high hopes.
04. Linda- Love Desire- Elena doing the Macho Gang remake. A bit odd choice for remake for me. It basically sounds the same. Just a little mixing up in the synths.
05. Jeff Driller- Back In Danger- Great clip. Catchy and undoubtly HRG Attack material. I think the BPMs were brought down a few notches. You can hear it in Federico's vocals?
06. Cherry Abra Cadabra- Clara does the 80's Steve Miller Band remake. I loved that song back then and I love it now. Again note the slower bpm's.
07. Alexis- Beautiful- Oohwee! The first track that knocks me off my feet. I love this TIME sound. Elena's vocals sound fresh, especailly when she goes up in octave. The main hook is inspired from one of Kasanova's works(don't recall now)
08. Maddy Layne- Lovers In The Night- What I love about HRG Attack is they get a classic Italo melody and own it to thier style. "Shadows In The Night" anyone?
09. Chris Stanton- Take A Frame- Nice. Slower BPM's very Phil style. Disco vibe sounds sweet. I just wish the clip didn't cut off right before the main hook.
10. Jay Lehr- I'm Alive- Well he doesn't surpas "Mystic Love", but a very nice showing for SCP IMOP. Slower BPM's seems to be the theme of this cd.
11. Nuage - My Blue Sky- She definatley morphed into Norma Sheffield. Again I have no problem with it, because I love Norma's style.
12. Annalise- Tru Color- She's back! Nice overall clip. I've heard this song before, but I like the way she sings Tru Colour.
13. Rose- Over The Sky- Another Elena treat for me. You just have to love her style to appreciate the beauty of the song, especailly when she sings "For a special Night" as the main melodt kicks.
14. Mega NRG Man- Catch My Fire- Even Mega NRG Man has slowed down some notches. This chorus sounds ok, but what I really like is that wicked main theme just as the clip ends
15. King & Queen- Dance- Not the mega sounds of Boogie Boogie that's for sure. I really can't judge , because the main hook is ommited in the clip. Hmm?
16. Matt Land- Gun Fire- "Nighflight To Tokyo" anyone. I don't think Go Gos label to rehash AbeatC this much? I think that Title "Gun Fire" deserves much much more in MOHP:
17. Mauel- Manuel- This sounds more Go Gos label to me and it's originality makes me like it more than Matt Land and Mega NRG Man's entrys. One of the few racing theme songs, but again notice the slower BPM's.
18. GoTo- NRG- Like I said ,The chorus sounds great old fasion SCP, but I'm having trouble with the Techo feeling main hook.
As you can see I ommited the grades, because of insuffivient clip time, but cleary the songs all follow a slower BPM theme . I think as the number increase we will be seeing faster songs again. I like this clips. not nearly as much as 179, but overall the songs sound catchy and melodic enough for me and Elena is a huge part of me liking this cd. I'm thinking some of you might have mixed feelings, with it's slower BPMs , especially the racing freaks, but to each his own
