here is my mini review based on chorus alone
1.Daniel- One More Try= First thing I noticed are the male vocals. Is that Symbol? This is sure fire hit for me. Who cares what label he is at(DELTA?) The texture of the song is too heavy to be TIME, yet sounds very powerful.
10
2. Wendy White- Take Away= Again with the vocals. This TIME Annerly Gordon and now we are definately at TIME. Another mega Bomba for me with a retro SAW vibe going on
10
3. Mark Astley- Iron Man= the title reminds me of old Black Sabbath hit. I'm liking this vocalist a lot, but it's the song that blows me away. Those synths have a really heavy HRG Attack melody to them
10
4. Nuage- Singing On The Stars =The level goes conciderably down with this song, but still nice for NUAGE. Remeber Dave Rodgers- Dancing In The Starlight? Much better song.
7
5. Kelly T.- Come Baby Love Me= I guess they wanted to insert the usual Norma Sheffield song in here, but decided on this one instead. To me it sounds pretty weak. I would rather Kelly "Take me To Heaven".
6
6. Kika & Fancy- Go Bananas= I'm not surprised most of you think thumbs down here. I like it even less. Does not sound like my style.
6-
7. Fastway- Crash Boom Burn Me Up= I think they stole this title from an HRG song? Never the less, a great song. The level of cd shoots back up. Yay Fastway
9+
8. Cyberella- I Am Cyberella= Happy HRG Attack synths. Is Baby Bazooka Growing up? I like what I hear so far.
9
9. De Leo- Another Life= Another Mega hit for me. TIME disco rules.
10
10. Alexis- Night Prayer= I know this has a classic Italo melody present. Alexis songs have gotten so much better with age. Like Fine wine. I love this one! I hope it's as great as "One Nite In Tokyo"
10
11. Powerful T. Dangerous Love= Ouch. I love songs like Ace Of Spades and Blood & Fire , but not this too much. Get rid of that synth style.
6
12. Candy Taylor- Fly= DELTA sounds so good on these samples. Can't wait for the entire song.
8+
13. Kasanova- What Kinda Cure= I love the way he carries the note on You and Blue. So far it sounds SWEET!
10
14. Garcon- Hannibal The Cannibal= My fav. Choatic label is back. Love the title. Love the melody and those keys blow me away. Gotta hear the rest!
9+
15. Leslie Parrish- King Of Heart= I have high hopes for this one. Simply because the Phil & Stan classic hook.
9
16. Dave Rodgers- Watch Out= Dave's guitars are back. This one is actually sounding quite good. he is not using that same rehashed old melody.
8
17. Ayi Yamamoto- Pink In The Pink.= "Wonderful" was nice. This title sounds dirty, but I like that. I'm also liking that synth hook after chorus.
8
18. Manuel- Ready Steady Go = Good thing Dave steered clear from this one. Sounds like a song I've heard too many TIMES. maybe the sample doesn't do the song justice. I keep open mind,
7+
This cd is definately sounding better than 176. I hope my grades don't change too much once I hear the entire song?
