Agreed on the rating thing. The chorus is seldom enough for me to judge... however, give me ONE good Sabi...
However, I must observe...
Being an HRG Fanboy, you knew this was coming... I actually REALLY LIKE Back in Danger! It sounds like they took the original HRG formula, added a pinch MORE of J-Pop (only a pinch; too much, and the song is too sugary-sweet), and managed to bump Franz's vocal range closer to what it was when he sang the classics. When HRG misses, it really misses, but when HRG hits, it HITS!
Actually, from what I heard from Maddy Lane's Lovers In The Night (NOT Baby Bazooka for those who may have ventured that guess), it sounds a bit darker, almost inspired by Midnight Lady. That, of course, is a GOOOOOOOD thing~ Actually, what's weird is, the vocals sound a bit like Jenny ROM and the main synth line almost sounds like Joga. 0_o
SCP seems to realize the impact of Go2, and their tracks so far have been great... not excellent, like their classic "Not For Sale" and the excellent "Power", but great enough. I only hope, though, that SCP does not get to the point of beating the cash cow if it goes dry.
Time seems to be a bit of a mixed card for me. What I've heard so far ranges from sort'a boring (almost EuroDance-ish in some cases... in fact, a FEW of the songs on here seem that way to me) to rather interesting. I suppose I'll have to reserve judgement even moreso for the eldest label.
Delta. They're so hot right now. Delta. :3
Daniel's still blooming a bit, and he's got some work to do in gaining a sort of presence he seems to lack in some of these songs... otherwise, Delta's got a solid lineup in these samples.
Can't fully tell who's GGM and who's ABeatC on this one... to be honest, with the exception of Jungle Fever, it seems sort of bland on both fronts...
...to be honest, I wonder if Dave Rodgers is doin' okay. If GGM is using Rodgers Studios, maybe he's focusing more on that end than ABeatC? If not... I miss when Dave put out the classics, and I don't think that the 180's should be his burial grounds for them either. In either case, though, ABeatC has really taken a fall even slightly before GGM hit the scene. Maybe it's motivation? I'm aware that producers from ABeatC and other labels read these posts, and that's why I post it here. Mr. Pasquini, in all due respect, what is stopping you from trying different approaches with ABeatC, raising the bar again? Do you need more artists? More males? More females? Maybe take a sebbatical (I'd imagine you've been busy lately, if not for the last few YEARS, y'know)?
. I have to say GoGoMusic is now on my badass label list, simply the Matt Land, Manuel (especially), and Mega Nrg Man's tracks have the most wicked synth hooks judging by the demos. Likewise, I am glad that Jay Lehr's track sounds pretty interesting, for I really didn't enjoy Mystic Love at all 
. I am pretty disappointed that there isn't much TIME male tracks (really do not like Elena at all). Likewise, Hi-Nrg Attack sounds spectacular, which is expected. I am excited based on these demos 
. (Though Abeat is really losing it...I hope they actually do something with their male vocalists. Seriously, use Ace Warrior, Powerful T and Neo more effectively and take on GGM.)
