Eurobeat Prime :: Forum

strangely I am not so thrilled about the Go Go Music label for it seems to not suit my taste despite its impressive quality. (Though I absolutely love Rock Me, finally someone is using Mega NRG Man right!) for It seems Guitars have been somewhat lacking in the Eurobeat realm recently. Suprised that no one has mentioned Red Core and the Identity of Stef Burns.

you know you can go to stefburns.com! he did work with Huey Lewis & The News...random fact

Damn, I'm EXTREMELY tempted to buy the songs off MU-MO, but my package can come anyday...

Anyway, how is the full version of the Eurofunk song?

Hmm can't really see what the fuzz is about Bad Bad Bad, it's nothing that new. It's a nice song don't get me wrong, but was expecting for something mindblowing for some reason.

Tuttifrutti Lollipop is pretty interesting, not their best song but it doesn't get far left behind.

It's TIME!
That's enuff to give me a hard -on. I guess the fuzz is vecause It's taken the old D-Essex "Boom Boom Fire" and revamped it for the new TIMES!
It's a "SUPER MEGA KICK YOU IN THE NUTS AND LEAVE YOU GASPING FOR AIR KILLER SONG"

nuff said.

Erm, what?

Sounds like I'll be skipping that one then

Judging from the credits in nrgexpress... it looks like Rain is a cover of an 80's song by The Cult.

Well, on the subject of "Bad Bad Bad" I'm definately seeing the appeal now, it's a great song. Time's tearing it up in the 170s, for sure.

Now if they could stop putting out generic filler ballads...

I for the first time decided to order the album online rather than order the CD. It's an interesting album to say the least.

Except for the crappy intro, I really LOVE With Your Photograph. Those vocals are top quality and the song really has power!!

Has anyone else noticed that the kick drums in this album seem to been cranked up to the max?? I love it - especially in the A-Beat/Go Go Music tracks; the bass pounds stronger than ever!!

I have to echo the opinions of most people here when I say this is another great album - the 170's have been the strongest decade in a while!

The stand-out tracks for me at the moment are:

Futureland - such an awesome hook, and an interesting vocal melody which has been lacking from recent Ace tracks...an explosive start!

Rock Me - I love this track, and I believe it is probably one of Mega NRG Man's best ever. A fantastic platform for Go Go's Music to show us all they have to give!

Bad Bad Bad - Boom Boom Fire has always been one of my all-time favourite Eurobeat classics, and this track provides a unique and modern tribute to the song with Time's new found explosive production values. A really interesting structure too - very cool!

My Universe - I hated this from the sample, which feels terrible to admit being Pamsy and all. But thankfully, the clearer sound quality and minor-key verses definitely improve things tenfold! I love you Pamsy!!

Furious Pistol - by no means original, but this just reinforces what I've known for a while. Jeff Driller is the best male alias that Hi NRG Attack has, so it's time than Franz Tornado moved aside and gave his crown to this nutter!

The only songs that I really don't care much for are the Delta tracks (come on Delta, you are seriously dragging behind in the quality stakes here - all other labels are bringing fresh ideas to the tables, and your productions are sounding more tired with every album that passes) and the Helena tracks (Time - dump this dead alias already; she's just a burden and will hold you back from achieving true super-status in the SEB world )

But Mr. Franz Tornado does the vocals for Jeff Driller as well hehe ^_^

Moo Moo Dollars is just as good as it was in the sample, which means that it kicks ass. Futureland is good, and Rock Me is surprisingly awesome. I think it's my favorite track from the album. Bad Bad Bad and Red Core are great, too.

This album might not be as good as 172 overall (the female tracks are a lot weaker than the entries on 172, I think), but it's definitely up there as one of the best in the 170s after the crummy 173 and 4.

I am amazed by the amount of excellent tracks on 175. I usually only like 1-3 tracks per SEB (like as in will listen to from beginning to end) but with 175, there are so many good songs that when I put on the CD I have an internal struggle with what I should listen to. That's quality! haha

Rain really deserves all the credit it can get, maybe the best Delta production in years (beats Chemical Love & my other recent favorites easily). Also definitely the best Cherry song.
