Holy crap HRG has two new releases and where the hell have I been. TIME to catch up.
Bazooka Girl & Friends
1. Bazooka Girl- Bazooka Girl
First off it's really funny to have this be the opening song. but it is Bazooka Girl. I mantioned before that this is one of my favs, because of the alternate world to Garcon's original.
2. Tri- Star- We Are The Teens
Aside form the synth riff, I'm not liking this at all. A little too much on the silly side and no Garcon makes it sdound more like Two- Star.
3. Ely Kotero- Come On Baby Light My Fire
Nice normal vocals. and slower BPM's sound great. This song has a really heavy Italo feel in the Riff. LOVE IT!! I think this could easily been given as the new Ciao Ciao. I can't enouigh of that riff and the third verse.
4. Mika- La -Do- Let The Dog Out
Big change in BPMs from the previous, but damn love those vocals. She sang that barracuda song a while back. Once again nice Italo feel in the riff and those guitars in the verses are a nice touch.
5. Bazooka Girl- Ike Ike 2009
Totally different version than Pistol Girl's. I still like it, because of that melody in the chorus
6. Mara Nell- Hot Gal.
Dead Or Alive is alive again in that Synth riff. Still a great song all around.
7. Nikita Jr. Love Hotel.
Once again a very well crafted Synth riff. HRG Attack excells in this. Thius song has a bridge that I'm especially fond of and nicly showcases a fun chorus. That third verse with most soundworlds dropped sounds really good.
8. Leslie Hammond- Save Me.
This is one of my favourites, because it sounds so Norma Sheffield-esque. Some one try to deny it. Just listen to the riff. I doubt AVEX would ever choose these slower romantic HRG songs, so it's nice to have them on compilations like these .
9. Dolly Pop- Nite & Day.
A fun HRG Attack song. Not too different from other songs melody-wise, but still loads of fun in that riff.
10.Laura Vox- Bad Gun Fire.
Now we are talking. Holy Holy! That's one mighty sounding riff blareing out my pc speakers. Agressive femal sung HRG. They don't get get better than this. ..and thoise the older trunpet sounding synths. Amazing!!
11.Hi-NRG All Stars - Rumiringo Superstar.
This one is just as cool. and you can really hear the different female vocals. I can't tell them apart, but I can sure hear differences. Those synths in the riff remind me loads of Jee bee's classic "Hi Energy"
12. Claudia Vip - "Dancing With The Fire"
Welcome back Claudia! Loving this song as my second favourit next to Laura Vox and Leslie Hammond. Kinda makes you eat your words when you say that all HRG sounds repetitive. It's AVEX who choose the same sounding songs, but Live Music Team got some real hidden gems in thier catalog, that break away from the usual HRG formula. You got the "Get My Hot Gun" sounding chorus ,but with a totaly different riff.
13. Bazooka Girl- Money Funny Dollars.
Still one of my favs and a proper5 way to end such a fun filled compilation.

And HRG just sunk to a new low with their album covers.
My face literally went (or a close approximation) upon seeing that HORRENDOUS Bazooka girl cover.
You just gave me a great idea
