Cd two is mix compilation, Awesome TIME songs, but I don't think the mixers they use are any good. I have never liked any of the SEB mix comps that have come out. Mostly they cut from one song to another or mix in right when the song becomes good. Euromach was good, but not because of mixing. It was good because it contained new songs . I'll buy SEB 178 for my usual favs and collection purpose only.

I'll review the samples:

1. Mad Cow - Get My Hot Gun: (8/10)
The first solo Mad Cow song since Franz Tornado on Euromatch 11! Sounds promising, energetic, and fun, even if not the best HRG song ever created. Should be a solid opening track.

2. Sara - Crazy For You: (9/10)
Nice and well-driven! Very catchy, definitely one of the better songs on the compilation.

3. Powerful T. - Glorious: (6.5/10)
Big vocals, but overall not very memorable. Just an okay song. Powerful T. needs to step out of the way after all his recent songs to save room for more Neo.

4. Annie - Free: (5.5/10)
Typical Time. I would like this a lot more if it were more happy and sugary, but sadly it does not stand out to me at all.

5. Ester - My Lucky Star: (8/10)
Sort of eurodancy, but that's not bad! Well-produced overall, though I have a strong feeling that it's lacking something.

6. Pamsy - Babyface: (7.75/10)
Pamsy continues her usual good level here, but I don't think she proves her full potential here as she does in Once Upon A Time and Walkin’ In The Shadow.

7. Dave Rodgers - California Dreaming: (6/10)
Production is better than usual for Dave, but his raspy voice still just doesn't work well with the music. Average A-Beat C.

8. Mike West - Supersonic Fire 2007 (7/10)
Time's better tracks tend to be their remakes, and I guess this fits under that spectrum. Fairly good overall, but the production doesn't live up to my standards.

9. Leslie Hammond - S.O.S. And Loving All Around: (8.25/10)
HRG's songs tend to sound the same, but this is above-average material for them. Cute, cheery, and happy, just as any female vocal song should sound. A keeper overall.

10. Cherry - Happenin' All Over Again: (6/10)
I've never really been much of a fan for Delta's slower approach, and the truth only remains. Clara's vocals are disappointing, and nothing really grabs out to me.

11. Nuage - Have A Nice Day: (7.75/10)
Nuage is one of the few titles of A-Beat C who I truly like, so I enjoyed this as usual. Not the standout that Shine was though.

12. Betty Beat - My Heart Goes Boom Boom: (8/10)
Go Go's Music has impressed me so far, and this continues their solid level quite well. Smoothly made and catchy, though I don't think the label really has stand-out potential because of its trancier, less hyper approach.

13. Jay Lehr - Mystic Love: (7/10)
Is this Nando/Mako gone ballad-ish? That's at least what it sounds like. Not a standout by any means, but okay I guess.

14. Mr. M - The World is You: (7.5/10)
Above-average Time, and better than I expected. Nothing groundbreaking, but it has a fairly nice hook and tone.

15. Mara Nell - Hot Gal: (8.5)
More feminine excellence from HRG. Though I feel that its synths need slightly stronger production, this is catchy!

16. Delta Queens - Damn Damn My Heart: (8.25/10)
Has a nice Delta funk, but other than that, nothing horribly amazing. Still a good track, however.

17. Kasanova - Two Hearts 4 Love: (6.5/10)
More filler Time. The itself isn’t that bad, but it still fails to stick out. Could’ve been replaced by something SCP.

18. Ace Warrior - No Religion: (7/10)
A comeback artist with a fairly average song. Typical A-Beat C, not really anything I’d listen to over and over. Okay, but not a highpoint.

I didn't hate it that much, but nothing really stands out. Mediocre at best, and definitely not one of the better SEB's.

1. Mad Cow - Get My Hot Gun: (6,5/10)
You start to know Mad Cow at this time. This is close to many tracks. It is an average Mad Cow song, with the typical Mad Cow sound. Too average.

2. Sara - Crazy For You: (8/10)
A catchy and potential song. This is a very good song and this album has opened strong.

3. Powerful T. - Glorious: (4,5/10)
Have heard this before. Guitars, hardrockvoice and eurobeatdrums in a combination that is really common in SEB-series. Next.

4. Annie - Free: (5/10)
A semihappy song with no real profil or identity. Typical Time as the writer before me wrote about this song. I agree

5. Ester - My Lucky Star: (5,5/10)
This is more eurodance than eurobeat. And this combination doesn´t make it. A song in the middle of the group. The sound has potential though!

6. Pamsy - Babyface: (6/10)
Pamsy will never be a favorite. This is a good song of here, but a too simple refrain.

7. Dave Rodgers - California Dreaming: (4,5/10)
This is very close to Powerful T. A very ordinar song with no surprises.

8. Mike West - Supersonic Fire 2007 (4,5/10)
The year doesn´t matters. This is not a hit.

9. Leslie Hammond - S.O.S. And Loving All Around: (8,5/10)
A robust HiNRG Attack song. There is no real edge, but it is a good song. HiNRG Attack is the number one of Eurobeat. This is a small prove of that.

10. Cherry - Happenin' All Over Again: (6/10)
The classic Lonnie Gordon track. This is not as good as the orginal, but still a good song.

11. Nuage - Have A Nice Day: (5/10)
Nuage never hits the spot. This is not an exception. A middlefast-song with no edge. Boring.

12. Betty Beat - My Heart Goes Boom Boom: (6,5/10)
This is quite good one. No real edge in the refrain, but a nice song. Fast and happy

13. Jay Lehr - Mystic Love: (7/10)
A real good male song. Mystic song has mystic and beutiful touch. Better than average.

14. Mr. M - The World is You: (6,5/10)
A simple and nice male song. The refrain is very simple but ok. Better than I expected, but that don´t say too much.

15. Mara Nell - Hot Gal: (8/10)
Mara Nell never misses. Not this time, almost never. This isn´t the hottest, but in this album this is way over average. Good, but i hoped for more.

16. Delta Queens - Damn Damn My Heart: (7/10)
Delta Queens is each other time. This is in the middle between. But I like parts of the refrain. Above average and very much Delta queens

17. Kasanova - Two Hearts 4 Love: (7/10)
Kasanova is one of very few non-hi-nrg male artist that really is good. Kasanova has grown for me, and this is a good song

18. Ace Warrior - No Religion: (6/10)
A simple refrain, and typical Ace. You have better, you have heard worse.

In total: 6/10

Hi-nrg Attack female side makes this album worth buying. This is a typical SEB album with a handful quite good songs and the rest is just hanging there.

My thoughts exactly. It's somewhat funny to see how drasticly opinions change once the songs are released, though. :>

ha Ha, We do reviews on the song's chorus. The most important part of the song. My opinions don't really change too much. In the previews one basically hears what instruments are used in the song, the vocals and musical style. That pretty much gives a good idea of weather I like a song or not. Plus ,like most of us, I'm bias to the MAXX with my fav. labels. :D

YES!! My girl is back!!

I dont know for you guys, but I've been missing the old Pizza Girl/Sara/Madison sooo much ever since she has been replaces by the new one in the 130's (I think). It's not that I dont like the other singer, but I'm deeply in love with that women's voice!

Does anyone know ANYTHING about her real identity? I've tried to get informations but I never found any...

I really want to buy Babyface extended but I can't figure out how to register on mu-mo - I can't read kanji and I have no idea what I'm doing! :(

I know there is a section with directions on how to buy things on mu-mo, but not a section on how to actually register. I need to know what to write in each individual box...can anyone help?

Check the first page of the Musicmaster/Mu-mo topic.

That's what I'm saying - that only gives you directions on how to buy, not on how to fill out the registration form. Seriously, I can't understand anything on it, and when I try to guess, I get error messages! :(

This is the page I'm greeted with, but I don't know if I'm filling it in correctly or what the missing boxes should contain...

If I remember well, you need to fill in your name in Japanese in those yellow fields.
If you don't know your name in Japanese, you can also copy any random Japanese text into those fields.

I still can't get the damn registration page to work :(

Seriously, it pisses me off that fans who can't speak Japanese don't have any access to these tracks.

It's cool - ignore me - I finally got there! Downloading now - woot! :D
