1. Go Go Girls- People Of The World
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereu ... 89_001.asx
MY THOUGHTS ON THE CLIP: Sounds like good 'ol GGG fare, except I'm really getting bored of the soft, soft synths. My favorite synth types do NOT sound like a soft wave of audio silk; the best ones RIP into you. GGM... should consider new sabi sounds by now.
2. Mad Cow & the Tverskaya Girls- Balailaika, Vodka 6 Rock N Roll
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereu ... 89_002.asx
MY THOUGHTS: Tsk tsk. Sounds unusually boring. Mr. Rimonti could do better, has done better, and I imagine will do better next round. Plus, no riff in clip makes zoupzuop2 a sad man.
3. Jimmy Diamond- My Lonely Night
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereu ... 89_003.asx
MY THOUGHTS: FLASH! IN THE NIIIIIIIGHT! Sounds sort'a older-school for some reason. No riff in the clip FTL.
4. Momo- From Heartache To Heaven
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereu ... 89_004.asx
MY THOUGHTS: Ooh. This sounds smooth. Very nice soundworld, and the vocals are just right.
5. Annalise- Feel It In Your Heart
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereu ... 89_005.asx
MY THOUGHTS: I think it's slightly older ABeatC material-- not as big a winner as, say, Little Desire, so far.
6. Tora- Flame & Fire
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereu ... 89_006.asx
MY THOUGHTS: Roberta Grana's great vocals get wasted on a somewhat less great Sinclairestyle entry. Also GODDAMNIT SINCLAIRE! SOUNDWORLDS, ALREADY! I'm waiting for nearly a SINGLE Sinclairestyle Eurobeat song that does NOT sound nearly identical! Sinclaire could do SO well, if he just tried something DIFFERENT!
7. Danny Rock- Heartbreak
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereu ... 89_007.asx
MY THOUGHTS: Loveline rehash. This is the problem with mass-producing labels. It's my LEAST favorite type of SAIFAM synthline too. I'll pass.
8. Rick Castle- Bad Boy
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereu ... 89_008.asx
MY THOUGHTS: Avex, you jerks. Link STILL doesn't work.
9. Cherry -Dance Dance
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereu ... 89_009.asx
MY THOUGHTS: Huh? Is this Sinclairestyle or something? It sounds like Sinclaire had a hand in this one for some reason... which, I'm sad to say, is NOT a good thing for the track. Sorry, Cherry.
10.Nuage- Baby Take Me High
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereu ... 89_010.asx
MY THOUGHTS: I miss her already

Actually, for an even slower (!!!) song for ABeatC, not miserable from what I could hear.
11. The Snake- Spirit Go Wild
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereu ... 89_011.asx
MY THOUGHTS: Ohhhh yeah. The Snake kicks ass. He's SCP's Manuel, basically-- just made of win beyond belief.
12.Dream Fighters- Storm Bringer
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereu ... 89_012.asx
MY THOUGHTS: Why does this sound like Davide Dimarcantonio, except slightly not? Sweet vocals, and that wonderful "Dima Sabi Synth" sound is still prominent. Not an AMAZING song, but I like it already. :3
13.Phil & Linda- You Give Me More
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/supereurobeat/asx/AVCD-
10189_013.asx
MY THOUGHTS: Phil's voice is really nice, I like it. This sounds like a really strong entry from the Time/Comet crowd.
OVERALL: I'm a bit disappointed... even if I could hear Rick Castle's faster entry, I'm surprised at the somewhat lower level this album has brought compared to the previous. This album doesn't have any extreme highs or lows; nevertheless, it's more of a "meh" album than a "hey, cool" album...
I'm really surprised at Delta; their entries were somewhat weaker this time. Perhaps the weaker entries in the catalog were yoinked out this time?
Sinclairestyle STILL hasn't gotten over their biggest weakness-- FREAKING SOUNDWORLDS. They all sound like they're in a reverb-filled, "rock 'n roll" stage-- no difference! I listened to Ale's "If You Ever Leave Me" recently... and I realized that Sinclaire hasn't change his style a single iota compared to then. Great vocalists, good lyrics-- but they're all delicious COPYPASTA Eurobeat songs. Until Sinclaire can really push a unique entry out there, he's doomed to sound a great deal repetitive, much moreso than we know he's capable of.
HRG's entries, as well, seem a bit down and out. Perhaps they're suffering the "we've only got so many vocalists to work with" syndrome? I mean, they're not doing AWFUL, and their Mad Cow entry wasn't AWFUL, but... they've done better.
ABeatC's selections were a bit more varied from the sound of things. Nuage is a welcome returning name (even if it's an older catalog song)...
SCP keeps bumping up and up and up. They're really taking seize of the new way of Eurobeat business, and their efforts are noted and applauded.
SAIFAM is returning to their "old" style of synths. Yuck. Me no likey.
Perhaps 191 or 190 will be better. =\
EDIT: Edited for accuracy. My own butchered Eurobeat composition terms shouldn't replace the originals. =P
