Finaly we get a chnace to rate some previews before the disc comes out. The CD Japan previews are quite interesting, because we get a riff and first verse. The chorus will remain a mystery to me since I don't do i Tunes, but that's good thing.
1.
Domino- Bad Girl(GGMs/SCP)
Her track is extremely fast style. I like that and the melody used in the verse. The synth riff comes from SCPs energetic best. I like what I hear, but I doubt they will do some really amazing things with just 4 mins. pity.
2.
Irene- Dream Away (SCP)
Not really a fan, but this one sounds catchy enough. I hope that;s not the intro, because it shows very little imagination. What caught my immediate interest is how her tone changed from one couplet to the next in that first verse.
3.
J. Storm- Dance Into The Fire (ABeatC)
Its a by the numbers classic NRG Abeatc production. I LOVE IT! Probly one of my most anticipated after hearing the preview. Classic riff. and a great way to bring back a familiar voice.
4.
Mela- Hurry Hurry Hurry (Saifam)
Aside from the riff, which is very true to mela's style, I don't really fall for this track. Too club inspired in soundworlds.
5.
Nathalie & Roberta- Angel (Sinclaire Style)
Cklassic Sinclaire style and another instantly catchy synth riff. She is also kinda singing in Clara Moroni's style. One of my top previews.
6.
Rich Hard- Fight (Sun Fire)
This one is gonna separate the masses. That riff alone tells me Dave left the door open to insert a great amount of what I love to call "Special parts". Hear that slight female sigh in the beginning. I Love inserts like that. the song looks kinda short at 4:11, but I' hopoing for the best.
7.
J. Stark- The Jungle Is On Fire(delta)
For all the smiley with shades I'm dishing; this preview gets two. It's surely the one breaking from the mold of fast Eurobeat just for the sake of being fast. Its taking chances on a ret5ro jumpy Italo style and ' loving it. Those vocals alone are perfectly giving the song another vibe. Who is that. Borris, Paul, A new voice perhaps? Awesome accent too.
8.
Ultraviolet- Love Is All Around Me (Dima)
Funny but it doesn;t sound like Mela to me? Anyway, it's definately a step up from thier debut, but still need to hear more. I like the melo in the verses best so far.
9.
Jeff Driller- Cactus Girl (HRG Attack)
oh yeah! Sounds like Rimonti is back! Jeff has always incorporated somewhat tranzy vibe in the riff ever since I'll Kiss You, but it works. Also a few Russian style shoutouts here and there. This one is gonna be Jeff's comback hit!!
10.
Mara Nell- Lady Speed Racer (HRG Attack)
This is what I mean by aliases with certain vibes in songs. Mara is the one who likes to race cars. Very true to her alias. The synth riff sounds very different in style too from ,say, Cindy or Ciao Ciao.

Norma Sheffield feat. Futura- Take A Chance On Me(Sun Fire)
A somewhat boring synth riff. Seems to be trying too hard to recapture the golden age of Norma's songs. As of now I gotta hear more to even say I like it.
12.
Luke- Mayday (Delta)
I hear sirens!! If those few words I heard are the intro, then this song is heading down a very interesting path. Love the Luke alias and that synth riff. Again, speed isn't everything in Eurobeat.
13.
Bliss- An Angel Right By Me (SCP)
No where near the freshness her debut hit had. Horrendouz effect on her vocals make her sound lkike a robot. Why they chose that over the other style, baffles me. The One redeeming factor I heard was that sweet sounding riff. 4 mins(sigh)seems our pleads for longer extended willgo by by unheard.
14.
David Dima- Bad Love (Dima music)
Eurobeat guitar fest. I usually love those, but I think this one is not gonna bring the festivities. I also don't hear too much room for "special parts" I wanna say I need to hear more to fully access the song, but I thi9nk I just might pass on this Dima title.
15.
Synclaire Style All Stars/ X Mas Love (Sinclaire Stlye)
The one X-mas vibe I get is the singalong effect in chorus style, but that's ok, cause I strongly feel this one is gonna be one of my favourite Sinclaire productions this year...and there are many!
(I'm in the giving spirit)
Really liking the previews. The two I didn't really care for are together and towards the end, so this disc should have a very good listeing effect on a stereo. hence I'm gonna get this one.
I'm gonna say that Sinclaire and Delta are gonna slug it out as my favourite tracks on this disc. DELTA particular sounds extra ""Italo". For me that's like striking gold. HRG Attack are what ;TIME became over the years, just perfect for my listening pleasure. I also Got my ear peeled for the J. Storm and Rich Hard entries. They sound like they could be intersting. The rest could be either hit or miss once I listen to the entire song.
