EDIT
My CD was sent with Air Mail, so this means that they shipped it like, not yesterday (like the e-mail) but last Tuesday/Wednesday. Wow... That happened to me once before.
You live near Japan I suppose ? I also got my CD today.

Its really not hard to recognize his vocals instantly, and I wonder how he is able to sing for 3 labels at once ... wow ...
You kidding me? 3 labels is nothing compared to the past. Ask Clara Moroni and Gino Caria (may he rest in peace). I think they sang for other labels besides Time, A-Beat C and SAIFAM (not Gino but Clara) around the same time, maybe not making Eurobeat but perhaps Italo Disco or some other genre. Clara was working with Fernando Bonini at Stilnovo (spelling check), Time, SAIFAM and doing some background vocals with A-Beat C (especially present in Sinclaire tracks) and singing backup for an Italian rock/pop singer.

Oh, Yeah, Sorry I kinda let that slip through my mind as it is not so usual these days.

Lest we forget, Dima is linked to ABeatC, GGM and SinclaireStyle through Contini publishing. So, for all we know, there could be criss-crosses of collabs like we never thought possible.

Still nothing on iTunes Japan - but I'm not fussed since I don't have the scan of my iTunes gift card from Jbox yet

Got this album today.
The new tracks are quite good. <3 It's pretty nice that DJ Boss didn't really do any funky remixes to the new songs, so they pretty much retain what I'm guessing is their original sound.
On the other side of things, I think the selection of older songs are pretty meh. Only three of them I actually would label as anything memorable. Maybe that's because I recognize them or I just think they sound the best.
I love the track comments (which are in the booklets). XD Especially on the "LOVED IN TOKYO" track.

Are they really? *shrugs* Maybe I don't recognize them because I got into Eurobeat about two years ago. XD
They just don't really sound that good to me. Or at least not right now. They might after more listens.

I sorts concur on the "the classics". Other than a select few, I wouldn't have chosen most of those tracks but some selections like the dr stranger were welcome.

I must say that Maurizio x3 is more than welcome to me, even if only one of the tracks is new.
I actually caved in and bought the album, even though I really don't like non-stops. I doubt I'll have it for at least another week, though.
New Maurizio is worth me parting with $30 for an album I would have otherwise ignored. DX

Max Zero did sound like an artist name for Dima, but I wasn't sure. Max Duccatti is sure to get jealous

Just because they are older doesn't make them classic. The only ones I would consider to be classic are Thank You Arigato, Music Fever and Doctor Of Love. The others are just eh

Bad Tonight and I Was Born For Burning are a couple of classics in my eyes along with Thank You Arigato. But I have to say, the new tracks are what peaks my interest the most in this album.

How could you all forget Heroes by Delta Force??? That song is sheer testosterone and win.
