Chai sounds like an artist I recall hearing on SCP or Blast maybe, but never be it Corraini :D

I'm gonna try warping Oceana's vocals to human range just to see what it sound like?

The Oceania song...I don't think I've ever heard a more aurally offensive vocal in eurobeat(if you can call it that).

I haven't listened to all of the songs yet, but I haven't heard anything super exciting so far. I don't think Chai is Gianni, but I do like his voice whoever it is.

Remember that SEB songs are ultimately made for audiences in Japan and kawaii~~~ songs with warped, cutesy vocals like this have an audience with quite a huge number of people especially the male demographic, it's a culture thing and I think Dave/Futura recognizes that somewhat with the Oceania alias as the answer to Hatsune Miku and those sweet, saccharine anime songs.
Just a random piece of useless info, but the vast majority of those kawaii cutesy japanese songs do not involve warped vocals and loads of pitch shifting, believe it or not. They just know how to place their voice to get that tone, I can do it too (and my normal voice is pretty deep for a lady). Once you learn the unique timbre that comes with it you can tell the difference between natural squeaking and heavy pitch shifting. I personally think the latter usually sounds shitty, but I love naturally squeakified voices :P

Is anybody, who bought original SEB 234 CD ?

Inside the box it's clearly written, that Oceania is not made by Dave Rodgers, but only by Futura, like both tracks last time. Norma Sheffield is this time their common song.

Still though, it's great to have some variety, and something reminiscent of the Euromach days.

I like those little things that SCP does with their songs. This little bit of dubstep in Heavensent is pretty cool.

The best song on here is Fire In The Night. The rest are terrible. I'll pass on this album.

Seriously? Are you deaf? Most people like the majority of the tracks. That's quite unusual for an album!

I actually gotta say I sort of agree with Tiger. I had high hopes for the album, yet only 2 tracks stand out as rather decent for me: Firebird and Warriors On The Road. Even the Lolita song stutters a bit, while I like it, it's faaaar from the level I was hoping for.

Ya, the new Lolita track just didn't reach the same power level as her past work. The only track I could've done without is Insomnia.

Everone is different when it comes to Eurobeat. I will say that previewing the whole tracks beforehand has made up my mind to go ahead and get the cd. 955 of the tracks are extra delicious in the synth dept.

There is a real Fire/ Desire aggressive vibe/theme to this compilation that I can't pass up. 8)
