I see no other way to find out if I want to purchase this album other than finding a leaked copy somewhere on the net since Avex appears to no longer be posting samples. Once again, the lack of adequate online promotion is pitiful and harmful to the series in my eyes. Why on earth can't Avex see this?

Because of their new director who ''just isn't as fast as the previous ones''.
Anyways I think this will be a pretty good album, really looking forward to a few of the songs!

AVEX reminds me a lot of WMG, World Music Group. They are constsntly taking down music videos on youtube for copyright reasons, but fail to see how the extra exposure would hurt the band. If anything it promotes thier music. AVEX and WMG are pees in a pod.

Okay, I have a small request when anyone that has ordered the album has the chance...

After you have your copy, can you please rip low quality samples of the chorus and hooks of the new tracks on this disc so that we can hear them? That way, I can decide whether or not I may want to purchase this album. Normally the samples help out, but since they are nowhere to be found, I hope some kind soul can help us check out the samples of the new songs...

I will, if you can wait another 5-7 days.

I'm in the same boat as you, #Infinity. This would be the first time in a long, long while where I simply couldn't give a care about this release. I've become so accustomed to Avex's recent asininity that I'm not surprised at all that the 199 samples have yet to be posted (and most likely will not).

Although the newer albums have largely defused my remaining interest in the genre, this all began after 193 was released. I thought that album was a total disaster, and it changed the way I listened to the next five albums. Themed albums were a terrible idea in hindsight, as it only further restricted how the labels produced their music. You can almost extract some of the frustration felt by some of the labels within their music, such as SinclaireStyle and A-Beat C. The multitude of short-notice changes and Avex's stupidity were no help at all.

Despite some recent optimism (albeit not much), I've been so very disappointed by Avex and the direction SEB has taken in the 190s. A real shame.

Here's hoping 201 might be a surprise to us all, but I won't hold my breath. Especially if it takes till next year to come out!

There is a reason why the first track is so long, you just need to listen to 193 megamix to find out

Superstar is great, just because DJ Boss makes the whole track worthwhile XD

Dunno which one I like better Gogo's Super Eurobeat or Eurogroove's Super Eurobeat

Shawaazu - have you heard the whole album? Could you please post some samples of the new tracks? I'm sure I'm not the only one desperate to hear them!

EDIT: It's okay - I've found some. I'll post them here in a bit for anyone else interested in the new tracks

Here is a file with all the new track samples:

SEB 199 new track samples.mp3

64kbps and only 30 seconds each track to avoid any recriminations from Avex.

* 01. SUPER EUROBEAT / DOMINO & VIRGINELLE feat. MEGA NRG MAN
* 02. SUPER EUROBEAT / EUROGROOVES ALL STARS
* 04. BARBIE GIRL / ANDREA feat. SERGIO
* 05. LET THE MUSIC PLAYS / KRYSTAL & DIMA
* 07. ETERNITY / ALEKY
* 16. HERE IT COMES THE SUN / NORMA SHEFFIELD
* 17. BEFORE TOMORROW / NUAGE
* 21. RUNNING TO MY CAR / BLACK EVA & NICK TURBO
* 23. DANCE IN MY TOWN / DAVE & FUTURA
* 24. SUPER EUROBEAT / FRANZ TORNADO & THE TRI-STAR GIRLS
* 27. SUMMER BOY, SUMMER GIRL / DELTA QUEENS
* 28. SUPERSTAR / GO2 & DJ BOSS

These samples were all I needed to confirm that I NEED this album - I'm off to place my order at CDJapan right now!

Eternity sounds amazing, such a great all-round sound. Also, Dave & Futura's collaboration really surprised me (in a good way!) and Summer Boy, Summer Girl has a fantastic hook! One of the best Delta Queens tracks in ages by the sounds of things...

Hopefully these samples will encourage those disheartened by the SEB series at the moment to give this album a fair hearing - it certainly sounds better than 198!!

What the fuck at Dave and Futura? A Beat C totally redeemed themselves. Really looking forward to that, all 3 Super Eurobeat tracks, Nuage, Norma, and Delta Queens. Gonna assume Delta Queens is on is because Capaldi?

This album is AMAZING, can't wait for my album to be delivered.
GoGo Girl's track sounded soo AWESOME!
Just as Dima's new tracks and Dave and Futura

I don't know, these samples are rather disappointing to me, and I really have no desire whatsoever to buy the album at all anyway unless I can hear them full and not nonstop. I know I sound narrow-minded, but that's how much I miss mu-mo.net and despise of megamixes.

For some quick feedback, I was most pleasantly surprised by Running To My Car, which is probably one of the few newer releases by Hi-NRG Attack that doesn't follow their basic formula and still works really well. Dance In My Town also sounds nice, but I'm slightly unsure about it until I know that the verses are just as groundbreaking as the rest of the song. Before Tomorrow sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if it's gonna be anywhere near the unprecidented quality of Nuage's 2001-2006 era for me.

Super Eurobeat by Domino & Virginelle feat. Mega NRG Man is no standout for me, as nothing in it so far catches my attention a whole lot. The melody lacks sophistication and sounds overly erratic, not really going anywhere in the end. I'll probably be tired of it before I even know it.

Eurogrooves let me down yet again. Their Super Eurobeat is okay but nothing particularly special compared to such epic tracks as Save Another Day For Me and Bad Bad Bad. Just as I dreaded, Barbie Girl is in fact a cover of Aqua, and despite the synth having some excellent ideas yet again, the fact that the original song itself has been played to death does nothing to benefit it.

I do quite like the synth of Let The Music Play, however the chorus doesn't really entice me. Eternity is a nice ballad-style eurobeat track, but I'm not completely sure exactly how much I'll end up enjoying it in full format.

Here Comes The Sun is another example of a song that has a lot of potential but is badly ruined by the vocals alone. It's nowhere near the dreaded awfulness of For Your Love, but I still can't take to Norma Sheffield's vocals at all, as they just sound way too pitchy and off-key to bring any life into the track.

Hi-NRG Attack's Super Eurobeat isn't really any better than Eurogroove's. The melody sounds very repetitive and rather annoying, and the synth doesn't change that.

I was really looking forward to hearing Summer Boy, Summer Girl after seeing the_ditz's enthusiatic reaction to it, but although I do agree that the synth hook sounds incredibly catchy and inventive, I surely wouldn't call it the best Delta Queens song in a long time, especially when you consider such epic releases from them as Damn Damn My Heart, Hello Hello!, and especially Bye Bye Tokyo (my current favorite song of the 190's). That chorus just doesn't have the same edge that so many of those from their other songs do.

Superstar is...yet another very generic Go 2 song that sounds like a clone of Spitfire. It's really a shame, since I was such an unbelievably huge fan of theirs back when I first started listening to eurobeat and when all of their songs had their own unique merits, but now most of the stuff they put out just retains to the same keys and same old ideas that Go 2 has been well-established for for way too long now.

Overall, this album does not particularly excite me and has little to offer in the way of major standouts. I actually far prefer 198 based on the samples alone, as for some reason the songs on it sound catchier and more interesting to me. This album, while not bad, is definitely not gonna change my mind about new SEB at the moment and encourage me to buy the album immediately.

I don't agree on the sample quality but I agree on the buying of the album. I also despise megamixes that has new stuff in. Megamixes entirely made of already stuff is OK (sometimes great) but, yeah, like you.

Mu-mo.net is bad (quality). I don't really miss it. I think that I miss the Eurobeat Masters series more.

Come on Newfield, if you hate Avex that much, re-release them!

Does that mean Wake Up and Best of Both Worlds are made by his daughter too?
