Special Nonstop Mix ~Revival Hits~
This megamix was pure awesomness. There were a couple flaws here and here but, on the overall, it was nicely done. The intro was well thought of. This is where I enjoy hearing Space Boy the most... and you know why.

The Never Ending Story /
Lou Hunter [Eurogrooves]
This song has such a great feeling. The intro really gives us such an awesome feeling. This feeling of "the never ending story". Such great production and vocal work. This indeed what I call a song that could be use as a base : It has a standard and fantastic soundworld that every Eurobeat songs should be based upon.

Save A Prayer /
David Dima [Dima]
So, a Duran Duran cover... I didn't have any expection for that song. But finally, this song is really really awesome. Such strong and awesome sounds and vocal works! It's what we expect from Dima : high quality production. A total hit.

Hung Up /
Tipy & Tipsy [Saifam]
I bought this song a while ago on Juno. This song being Eurobeat is questionnable but that doesn't mean that it's not good. Not at all, in fact, it's a really good song. Catchy, good sound world that respect Madonna's original (I liked Madonna's so it helps). But, it might not become a hit. It's not that worthy.

Video Killed The Radio Star /
Tina Ray [Eurogrooves]
The intro reminds me so much of the original video for this song where the little girl plays the radio/TV thingie. Anyway, after that, the intro changes strangely into some guitar intro... really strange coz we hardly see by that that it's a cover. Anyway, moving onto the riff, it's really great. The overall song is pretty good and catchy. A very good production, thumb up.

Bad Desire /
Mark Farina Feat. F.C.F [Saifam]
It's really an unexpected song. The song sounds like if it was an harder version of the actual original classic. That doesn't mean that the song is bad. It's actually pretty good but not as good as the song before this though.

Doctor Love /
Kevin & Cherry [Delta]
Epic intro is epic. Beside that, I must say that the song is actually really good. An epicly catchy remake, that is what the song is. The only thing that is a little deceiving, is the riff. It could have a bit more harder with more bass. Like I always say, that doesn't mean the song is bad. Not all.

Try Me (Platinum Mix) /
Lolita [A-Beat-C]
This is a pain to review. The sounds seems a little refreshing but at the same time, they sound like they were drowning behind the bass and drums... The song also sounds like everything was actually weaker than the original. Anyway, not too much of appeal here.
Rating : 7½

Too Young To Fall In Love /
Dejo [SinclaireStyle]
Actually, this is kinda a surprise. It sounds much better on the actual CD than on the iTunes preview I listened a couple of weeks ago. But that doesn't mean that I'm addicted to it. The song is good but the touch that makes it a very good and memorable song is absent. Pretty much summarize that song.

Hot Vampire /
Go 2 [SCP]
Wow... that is the only original Go Go Girl song that fit Go 2's style so much. I think it was a great idea to remake that song on SCP's side. This is song is simply genius!

Looka Bomba /
Go Go Girls [Go Go's Music]
That is maybe the black sheep of the album. Kinda contraversial. I think it fits perfectly Go Go Girl's energy songs and at the same time keeping the same energy that Go 2 gave to it and, of course, from a female's view. Very good song in general

Number One /
Fastway & Christine [SCP]
The original was good. This one is even better! Such awesome stuff all around : good and catchy vocals and sounds. I cannot describe much better than the last sentence!

Ike Ike /
Pistol Girl [Hi-NRG Attack]
When I saw that this song was confirmed to be released, I wondered how could it be remade... Now, I know. Yes, the vocal pitching changes sounds strange but to me, it does not mean it's bad. In fact, it's pretty good.

FAIL Boy (Fail Mix) /
Dave Rodgers Feat. Random People [A-Beat-C]
