You mean U.S.A.?
That's definitely Gino Caria.
However, there were many other vocalists singing under that alias before him.

Though trax 4-6 were beyond bad., My real concern is ABEATC, because they take up too much cd space and now with Go Go's music even more. I was a huge fan of thier's in the past(got over 100 of thier vinyls) , buy lately I hear missing links in synth and musical style. SCP also need to drop acts like Kiki & Fancy and just stick to 3 Fastway or Ace songs per cd. TIME as allways did supirior job with each style they tackle as did HRG, but my special thanks go out to Laurent Newfield for creating such AWESOME DELTA music this on this cd. I hope to see a lot more Daniel and synth style of Iron Man. Still my main concern is ABEATC. I had to give grades I usually choose not to. Might I suggest doing some remakes of thier past hits? :D
Really going against the grain by downgrading MANUEL's track, eh? :evil:

QFT from here...

One question that I've been wondering. Do people who currently enjoy Time productions a lot consider the productions these days to be comparable to the releases back before 2000 and such? Because I can't even speak of them in the same sentence.

EDIT:

Or more so the question: Are the materials released today as good as the stuff back in the years before 2000 and such?

I don't enjoy Time productions a lot now, but I don't consider the current Time and the pre-2000 Time the same thing... It's like two completely different things ._.;

The only songs I like by TIME are usually by the male vocalists.

Well, not here! Night in Tokyo by Alexis is a great song IMO, and there can't be enough songs like that on a SEB if you ask me... :P

I'm not sure if I understand your question. Ofcourse also TIME had its ups and downs, but I wouldn't consider the year 2000 as some point where the label went downhill. Both Spagna and Dall'Ora created true masterpieces after 2000, and Dall'Ora continued to do so.

Anyway, I think TIME is currently on par with DELTA, leaving the rest behind. I'm not sure that's because TIME got better recently or because of the slight degradation of DELTA (which is still very good, but I really miss Sinclaire's tracks).

A few more comments about the tracks now that I can appreciate them in full...

Mark Astley - Iron Man
I love this track for a number of reasons. Somehow, the intro really makes me think of Asia's style, which is a bonus in my eyes. The rest of the track is pure old-school Eurobeat goodness from the late 90s or so, but with fresher production. The chorus is awesome with its continual rise and fall, and I love the streaming synth hook.

Nuage - Singing On The Stars
I am mesmerised by the awesome vocal melody of this track. It is easy one of Nuage's best tracks ever released in my opinion, and contrary to a previous comment, I find her vocals to be much more convincing than usual - she has more presence and the song benefits a lot from it.

Kiki & Fancy - Go Bananas
I have to agree that isn't SCP's finest hour (and this is coming from one of their bigger fans). The comments about this being a washed Go Go Girls style track are very true, and this one would have been better consigned to the unreleased section of the catalogue...

The synth hook of Alexis - Night Prayer is 10 million times better than the rest of song and is completely wasted being used here - that makes me sad :(

Candy Taylor - Fly
Woah, have I stepped into a 90's Eurodance reunion here?? That beat and bassline is pure 90's dance goodness, and gives this track a unique edge. Delta were really on the ball here with their experimentation!

Kasanova - What Kind Of Cure
OH MY GOD - what's this?? A Kasanova track that I not only like, but I find myself singing throughout the day and wanting to listening to over and over again!! I honestly was surprised to hear that Kasanova had been selected for this track, as it could easily have been given to one of the more powerful Time male aliases. Still, it pleasantly surprised me as I wasn't expecting anything from this at all...

Garcon - Hannibal The Cannibal
God bless Garcon. Hi-NRG Attack should concentrate on only releasing Garcon in the future, as he is easily one of the most dynamic and interesting male aliases they have now. Some people will find this dull and more of the same from the old faithfuls of SEB, but I love this style from them and wish they'd stick more to it, as when they try to experiment too much it can often sound horrible!

Dave Rodgers - Watch Out
Why are people so excited about this track?? Make Up Your Mind easily puts this one in the shade - I find this predictable and bland at best.

Ai Yamamoto - Pink In The Pink
SCP's version of Baby Bazooka (in my eyes) is back, and even more than ever I'm desperate to put her on my mantlepiece cos she just sounds soooo cute. I loved the naivety of Wonderful, but this is much more polished and assured, and I'm happy that it seems Ai may stick around for a while to come. She will never surpass my Pamsy in the awesome slow-burner stakes, but I still can't resist such a cute vocal!

Manuel - Ready, Steady, Go!
WHEEEEEEE!! Good to see that Manuel isn't compromising his unique energetic style - he always sounds like he's loving singing every song, and this is no exception. Doesn't match No Control for instant awesomeness, but this is easily another strong song in the impressive back catalogue of (easily) the best A-Beat C male alias. MORE PLEASE!!

The other tracks don't inspire me enough to comment for whatever reason - Take Away especially is just OK, and doesn't merit the amazing ratings it's getting in my eyes, but that's what makes this community great! ;)

I have a feeling that we'll see the best of ABeatC artists come from GOGO'S MUSIC for the next few SEBs at least. Them there at ABeatC needs to step up the production a bit more to compete. :P

I never really posted my comments on 177... and I know why, this album was pretty bad in my opinion. There were like a few songs that caught my fancy, which were King of Hearts and Ready Steady Go... the rest aren't memorable at all. Some songs like I Am Cyberella and Go Bananas may be those songs that grow on you after time, but the rest were just meh. A big disappointment for me - but I've been spoilt with 171, 175 and 176 so I wasn't the bit least surprised. I am hoping more for 178 :)

Enjoy some lyrics i'm typing up while waiting for my laptop to rip the CDs:

ONE MORE TRY:
It's been a long time since you went away
But still you make me cry
I didn't mean to disappoint you boy
Or lie to you

Yeah

Could be in your eyes
Could be when you smiled to me
Could be in my fantasy
To get you back now

One more try
Give the change to give it
One more try
How much I loved you
One more try
So sad that I missed the time
Alone in my own silent crime

It's been a long time since you kissed me now
But still it feels so good
I think you know how much I missed you girl
I die for you


TAKE AWAY:
Hey hey everybody
C'mon babe to the party time
Hey hey funky babe
Come together to the Tokyo night

Love is like a fantasy
Leave your problems come with me
Shake your body take your time
Dancing in the street
Kiss me babe

Take away everyday
Love is special like a magic fly
Take away everyday
Love is natural so fine and shy
Take away everyday
Love is special like a magic fly
Take away everyday
Love is magic love is the only way

Hey hey everybody
You're the king
And i'm your dancing queen
Hey hey now I'm ready
Like a gambler for a crazy win...


IRON MAN:
I can feel, it's the rhythm of the nation
I can hear, it's the rhythm what you need
Don't you see, it's the feeling of the passion
Look at me, don't you kill my destiny

Come on, you, the people is jumping
Take one, two, the night is on pumping
Hey, you're right tonight
We're going to stand and take a chance

Time to be hero, call me, iron man
Danger is coming back, destruction
Time to be hero, call me, iron man
Got to fight, and take you high

Time to be hero, call me, iron man
Danger is not too bad, in action
Time to be hero, call me, iron man
Ready and fighting

Now you see me, I'm eating all vibration
Full of me, it's the killing what I need
Stop me in, it's my bloody real intention
Get me in, and don't be my enemy


SINGING ON THE STARS:
Do you really wanna fly
...(it's) up to you
I'm gonna be touchy in my mind
I can see your eyes on my own
Baby tell me now do you love me

Another dream into the sky
From the next day till the night
I really wanna be your love
We are getting ready so let's dance

Singing on the stars
Do you know is magic
Shining like a star
Baby love me do
When you're dancing on
Make another dream on
And I feel
That you can fly fly

I just wanna fly away
Just with you
I don't wanna touch you
I don't mind
Wanna be the star over you
Baby let me shine again
To love you


COME BABY LOVE ME:
Do you wanna play the game tonight
Love is right when I kiss you
Come into my dreams, I want you so...
Close your eyes on me baby

Fly
Move your mind
Over the stars
And reaching me you'll see the sun
Sunrise...in the morning...
Tell me!

Come baby love me
Into my world
I need to feel your eyes on me now
Come baby take me
Into your dreams
You can relight my fire

Come baby love me
Into my world
I need to feel you eyes on me now
Come baby take me
Into your dreams
You're like a rainbow in my heart

Do you wanna fly away tonight?
Let me say 'cause I miss you
Come into my bed, I need you so...
I belong to you baby


GO BANANAS:
Run, let's follow the sun
With my watergun
We pickaboo like children messin' around
We go summer-bound
We dance to the sound
Until we're gettin' crazy dancin' for fun

The night is callin' sweet temptation
A lucky charm for celebration now
I'm like a fancy-coloured fire in the sky

Everybody go
Go bananas
Go bananas
Summer's gonna stay forever dancin' round
Go bananas
Go bananas
Everybody dance
Go bananas
Go bananas
All the girls are crazy dancin' to the sound
Go bananas
Go bananas
Everybody jump

Hi, that's my paradise
The stars in my eyes
Are heavenly like dreams that money can't buy
My hope is tonight
The moon shinin' bright
Can see the little light I got deep inside

I think 177 is 'decent'. Some songs are great, some are just plain mediocre.

Thought I had about something;
"Into the Fire" by Mega NRG Man was originally released in 1999, made in 1998. I have the vinyl and a ripped mp3 (now also 177 version) of it. While it is a good song in all forms, I think some editing was done before the 177 release. On the vinyl, Marin's voice is so much more powerful, and his vocals triumph wonderfully. On the recent bonus disc, his voice is lowered to equal Pasquini's when Pasquini does back-up, and also isn't as attractive to the ear - sounds more controlled. I'll stick to the vinyl with this song. =/
Also, "Lover Man" is the Friday Night Mix, before 177, only released on vinyl. :D I was excited to hear Leonardi's version on CD, finally.

hehe, I'm done.

I honestly don't get the ripping on Go Bananas. It's not their *best* track, but I still find it insanely catchy and happy. Then again, I just have weird tastes. :P

Second third:

CRASH BOOM BURN ME UP:
You better drive, unless you like
Keep your backseat forever
I know you rock, you wanna shock
Baby just come on over

Screamin like you're leavin' honey back your life
We're gonna go get the hype
You can feel the rhythm baby in your heart
Rescue me from cravin' for more

Crash boom burn me up
Off with a bang
Got no time to waste, never stop the dance
Crash boom burn me up
Don't need no hang
Baby Baby turn me on
Crash boom burn me up
Off with a bang
Got no time to waste, never stop the dance
Crash boom burn me up
Don't need no hang
Baby Baby turn me on

The freak inside is gonna fly high
Can't be tamed up forever
My mind will blow, and here you go
Baby just start it over


I AM CYBERELLA:
Every night before you go
Stay with me and watch the show
Take me up, shake me up
By the keyboard try me now

Move your mouse along the screen
Make me live a special dream
On the screen like a beam
Let me fly into the cyber love

I'm looking for amusing jokes on the net
Hey! come on baby to the land of cyberspace
Baby, catch me while I dance on display
You click my part of body on fire

I am cyberella music for you, fellow
Kissing everybody, you can follow me babe
I am cyberella, red and blue and yellow
Come on everybody, kiss me touch me and go!

Give me baby a cyber dance
Now I'm falling in a trance
Wake me up, don't give up
Let your body rock me now

And the future is around
Like a psychedelic town
Magic dream like a beam
Electronic baby just for you


ANOTHER LIFE (yes i know they spell it extasy no i don't care):
You're walking around me
With love and desire (babe set me free)
Please, follow me now
And give me the top (Give me the top)

Love devotion and surrender
Give me now (Give me now)
Please drive me tonight
In ecstasy (You and me)

Another life
Lovely sunrise
Kiss me now
I wait your ecstasy

Another life
Another time
You're my star
My precious light so wonder

Another life
Another passion
Drive my life
Into the night

So crazy for passion
I'm hot like a fire (babe lean on me)
Now gimme your kiss
I'm waiting your shock


NIGHT PRAYER:
Tender, lovely desire, now
Only for passion
You light my fire, my destiny
Like a prayer 4 your love
Sweet sad and magical
Like a wonderful melody
So beautiful and sensual

Night
Show me the way
I'm your sweetest broken heart
Every night
Awaiting the day
With all my dreams so hard
I will star...

Night
Drive me so high
You're my only precious time
Every night
You make me right like a romance
Like a pleasure
You are my night

Wake up
Don't stop your passion, now
Take my sensation
Drive my reaction, my fantasy...


DANGEROUS LOVE:
I live you like an emotion
I feel your passion around me
You fascinated me with your love, with your eyes looking
Around me

You're like a fire and I will burn
Leaving me here with nothing I know, but tears
But I'll play this game

Dangerous love
That is what you are, nothing more
Nothing but a dangerous love
There's no way out
Caught in your web I surrender

Your body moves in the ocean
And water calls my desire
I can't resist oh, you got me do of me whatever you want
Now


FLY:
Yes I remember the time
We were so young and we had no rules
I'm looking for brighter days
Hoping the things now could change

Can't you feel it

Life is turning all around us
In a moment everything can change now
Feel the wind is blowing on our shoulder
You can let go of yesterday
And spread out your wings now

Fly-y-y
Forget the troubles we can shine
Fly high the sky
And we can fly-y-y
'Cos now the time and we can try
Forget today and focus only tomorrow

Fly-y-y
Forget the reasons of our life
Fly high tonight
And we can fly-y-y
Just feel alive and don't you cry
Forget the blues and find a dream we can follow

Yes now we're floating on air
We're flying higher above the blue
Don't ever mind of the rain
And what we can just go through

Because I collected TIME since thier very first record, I can say "YESS", But every style must be heard in it's own catagory. from Italo to High Energy to Eurobeat TIME has adapted to the BPMs that the public and style of music calls for. TIME has done a superb job at keeping a lot of the artist names that made them the label they are today. This also shows the way say an artist like Alexis has progressed from previous years. From The very first "Sombody Tonight" to "Sugar Baby" to "One Nite In Tokyo" you can clearly see that quality of this artist has maintained. Not all her songs are hits, but those three are mega in anyone's eyes. That is to answer your first question.

For your second question: Take the same 3 songs. "Sombody Tonight" went to top of Iventi D'Azzurro(Italian dance music top 20) charts as did Sugar Baby on Japnese charts and many compilations and now "One Nite In Tokyo" is quickly becoming one of TIME's new favorites among fans. So yes many (not all) thier songs are equally as good now, as they were in the 90's. ...but allways must be taken into concideration thier TIME period.

I think the most important view here is that TIME has stood the test of TIME and Mr. Sergio Dall Ora(Creative genious that he is) has been able to literally morph TIMES productions to fit any era. This is seen in the latest flood of remakes that he has been remixing. So much even as to fool some listeners as to think these are actually the original version.

I could write you a book about the label and why I love them so, but rather ask yourself this: If these other younger Eurobeat labels like SCP and such had started back in those years, would they even still be around these days? 8)

I also don't understand all the hate for this album, because I enjoy a much bigger percentage of the tracks than most releases: One more try, Iron man, Go bananas, Crash boom burn me up, Another life, Fly, Hannibal the cannibal, King of heart, Watch out, and Ready steady go. Twice as many as I liked in 176, and three that I know I'll keep on listening to. Plus the second disc is full of great tracks.

Third third:

WHAT KIND OF CURE:
I came running back ot you
I keep saying what else can I do?
Just believe me
Can't even sleep at night
I'm feeling too bright
It's because my heart beats louder
Louder than ever before

What kind of cure
Can change the way I feel for you
What kind of cure
Can take away these Monday blues
What kind of cure
Chan change my dark days into blue
What kind of cure
Can take away these Monday blues
Forever

I keep saying now's the time
Because loving you must be a master crime
Don't you tease me
Can't let my feelings show
Now you already know
It's because my heart beats louder
Louder than ever before

I came running back to you
I keep saying what else can I do?
Just believe me
Can't even sleep at night

Even now that you know
It's because my heart beats louder
Louder than ever before


HANNIBAL THE CANNIBAL:
You are so beautiful
You are so wonderful
And when you wear the sleeves
You're gonna rock it to the beat

I wanna get your soul
I want you on the road
I get the music down
Because you take it all around

And then I felt you felt
A shiver on your back again
Hey don't tremble, don't be afraid
I feel you sweat, too sweat
And now you're gonna thrill me
I have no limits looking for your love

You are in danger, it's Hannibal the cannibal
Don't feel my anger, you know I'm too incredible
When I'm so hungry you feel I'm too excitable
You won't believe I let you go and run away

I am so maniacal
I'm living like a fool
You can't believe and try
Until I'm rocking on my feet
I feel so crazy now
Because I have just found
A lot of energy
In deep of you and all around


KING OF HEART:
Time is running away
Sliding fast every day
I've been waiting for you my love
But now, got better to do

Listen
Tic toc tic toc
My clock is tickling
And tic toc tic toc
I'm looking for a king
To take on take on
Take on my heart
I got no more time for you

I need a king of heart
'Cos I'm a queen without a throne
He can rule across my land
We can share together this wonderland

I need a king of heart
'Cos I can't make it on my own
He can take me by the hand
And my heart will be under his command
I need a king of heart

Life is fading away
Disappears day by day
I've been dreaming of you my love
But now, I think you're just a fool

WATCH OUT:
With my guitar I tell you
All the love that I feel for you now
Come to me and you'll see that I don't lie
Baby let me find you

Come stay tonight
You're in my eyes
Never get very far from me now
No you here to stay

Watch out watch out
Feel the need inside ya tonight
Show me you believe it right now
Anytime I want you baby gonna get you

With my guitar I'll show you
All the things that I feel inside me
Come to me and you know that over time
Babe I'm gonna get ya


PINK IN THE PINK:
Wake up and welcome the day
When I see you, speed my worries away
Stand up, get ready to fly
'Cos I'm the one that you want by your side

All the world around goes my way
And I can see no shade of grey
When I'm with you
Baby I feel divine
I can't believe you're mine

And baby I feel pink in the pink
You spin my head around and round
And really I feel pink in the pink
My feet don't touch the ground
And baby I feel pink in the pink
You gimme back just more and more
And really I feel pink in the pink
I'm kickin' out the world
In the pink

Hey boy, I like it your style
I wear your shirts, and I'm wearin a smile
Let go, the love I can take
Is in your heart, you just gimme no break


READY STEADY GO!:
Don't let me down...go!
Don't spin me round...now!
Step on the gas...yeah!
I've got a crazy time
Move through the night...hey!
Move through the light...are you ready?
Out of control...go!
And light your fire

I've got a chance to become your hero
Yes I'm ready
Yes I'm going to win
I just wanna reload and rule this game
The night over! get out!

Ready steady go!
'Cause I'm really gonna race
Hot & higher wanna be your fire
Come on come on come on
Tonight I'm gonna win just for you
Got the power
Ready steady go!
Time is coming for the show
Hot & higher wanna be your fire
Come on come on come on
Tonight I'm gonna win year!
Ready steady go!

Don't stop the show...go!
Don't let you blow...now!
Speed up your car...yeah!
Tonight I'm gonna win
Keep on the ground...hey!
Keep on the sound...follow me!
Race for your life.....go!
And feel the power
