I'm sure they'll randomly appear at time when no-one is expecting it! I've been checking everyday (often several times a day) and the future links still return "Not Found" errors.
What makes things worse is that I go to Australia on 30th May - a whole day before this album will be released on iTunes - therefore I'll need to wait until I'm back on 12th June to get my hands on it!
So I'm hoping for some juicy samples to fill my head with awesome melodies and tide me over...

Maybe it can help to tie over for just a bit....
Not strictly eurobeat...but this new tune is awesome...
Should be up on iTunes soon..

HOLY SH--! That's the stuff! Chorus is amazing. Let me know when it's out!
...This means I need to let my curiosity take over more often... if it always leads to awesome stuff like that

Well they took the link off, because of some rights crap. and I seriously doubt AVEX had anything to with it? Or did they?

The samples work, and Dancin' Together / Christine sounds REALLY GOOD. I'm surprised by this album overall too. I will enjoy it I think.

01 HOTBLADE / POWER TWO (SCP) - Sounds like a step back from LH into safer areas, but as long as it isn't bland, it's all fine.
02 TORA / NO TURNING BACK (SinclaireStyle) - Meh, don't hear anything attractive in it for now.
03 DAVE RODGERS / SKYLIGHT (SunFire) - I definitely wasn't expecting something this mellow. The way I see it, it probably won't strike a chord with many fellow forumers but I still think it's one of the better samples of the bunch. Gotta have a riff.
04 ALIX / MAXMISIN' (SCP) - Heavy influence from mainstream pop as usual. Love that beat and vocalist though, definitely on my to watch list.
05 DREAM FIGHTERS / ARE YOU READY TO FLY (Dima Music) - Something sounds odd about this track, I think it's the way Dima is singing, it sounds sort of amusing.
06 DELTA QUEENS / LOVE IS LIKE A RAIN (Delta) - The riff sounds like it would be killer but the chorus it showcases sounds er ... lacklustre.
07 JEFF DRILLER / MECHA FIREBALL (Hi-NRG Attack) - The true form of Hi-NRG Attack. Not really liking the vocals, but riff sounds like it could be killer.
08 LUKE / TIME OF FIGHTERS (Delta) - Huh, this is Luke? Definitely doesn't sound like him though. Not sure what to make of this one but I didn't like this sample.
09 CANDY MORE / I'LL FLY (Go-Go's Music) - Blah GGM, doesn't sound like hit material to me.
10 CHRISTINE / DANCIN' TOGHETHER (SCP) - Ew, heck no, sounds so childish. Might please upbeat eurobeat fans though.
11 BORIS / SHALAKA BOOM (Delta) - Definitely the best Delta sample out of the three, vocalist sounds rugged but the melody has potential.
12 HEATHER / BEAUTIFUL BOY (Dima Music) - Um, doesn't sound like my cup of tea but would listen anyways.
13 CINDY & CY-RO / TOWER OF LOVE (Hi-NRG Attack) - No ... Just no,
14 DAVID DIMA / SUNRISE (Dima Music) - Um ... mixed feelings on this one. On one hand, it sounds like hit material but I can't exactly say that I like this sample as well. Blah, we'll see. [/quote]
All in all, the only two songs I am really looking forward to is Maximisin' and Skylight. Very disappointing bunch of samples overall.

Sounds like another pretty mediocre batch to me. A few tracks sound like they have potential, but for the most part, these samples just aren't doing it for me.

Candy More sounds like Esther...

Thanx to Avex for a decent quality of samples...Snippets are on target..
02 TORA / NO TURNING BACK (SinclaireStyle) - Meh, don't hear anything attractive in it for now.
You have some point...Tora's chorus should indeed have been stronger.
(A chorus could deliver a melodic punch, right from the start..).

Dammit, I knew I should've been on here earlier tonight for the samples!
I'm a bit too tired for these to really sink in properly, but the only three that really grab my attention at the moment in a good way for
Power Two,
Shalaka Boom and
Sunrise (You'll Always Be Alive) - this last one in particular sounds like it will be the absolute hit of the album for me.
As a side note, it really sounds like Sinclaire has been listening to a lot of modern disco-style female tracks by SCP since
No Turning Back sounds like a melodic homage to so many SCP tracks of recent years, especially
Power Of My Love by Yo Shine. Can anyone else hear that??
At least he's managed to get his female aliases out of the massive tunnel that they seem to have been trapped in for so long...
Also, I'm surprised to hear Alix is a girl - but she has cute vocals...

Am I the only one who thinks Alix sounds like Nuage somewhat?
