So. Freaking. Close. To. Love Me Queen.

That song actually grabbed the attention of my Power Metal-loving friend, who usually scorned my "J-Pop" alignments. He's now very fond of Mr. Stanga's works.

*sigh* Who here ISN'T Gar for the new Jimmy Bravo/Jackie-O?

Music In The Night has to be mentioned as well!

Ehh... granted, but it didn't grasp me NEARLY as much as Love Me Queen did. Guitars! Flailing Synths! Chord changes a-glow! And the new Jimmy Bravo vocals... nearly as perfect as a Kimmy production!

(And that's saying a LOT.)

Give Melody some respect! Avex certainly doesn't based on the fact that all 3 Saifam tracks from the 180's so far are Mauro Farina and not her (and I'm predicting either Harajuku Nights, Diabolik, or Across The Universe for 189)!

Hey, it was nothing against Melody Castellari! She's a great vocalist all the same. I just... happen to like Love Me Queen better than Music In The Night. I'm more a sucker for a good synth line than exquisite vocals; both had great singing, I just like the sabi of LMQ better.

I'm fairly sure the girl doing vocals for vibration right now isn't Melody Castellari, the last songs she did for them were in 2002 and the vocals don't sound nearly as aggressive.

If you've heard Love Desire/Queen Regina, I would say that the current vocalist is actually that girl, they sound to me like the same person.

Really? She's got LED Records listed as a friend on her myspace, and I can clearly hear her vocals in Love Desire, as well as newer tracks such as Elisa's Poison. By 2002, do you mean Killing My Love by Angela?

Yes, Killing My Love is clearly her, as is Poison, but thats not the same vocalist as they're using now, and I definitely don't think Love Desire is her...they're just completely different vocal qualities.

However, I'm not going to completely rule her out now, since it seems from listening to the newer saifam releasers she's sang, that her voice has actually changed since we last heard her...and those vocals are comparable to the ones in Music in the Night.

Yeah sometimes vocalists don't sound EXACTLY the same when they sing various songs. I mean, just compare Luca Torchiani's vocals between his songs as Van T.K.+ Paul Harris (smooth and deep) and Oda + Mark Astley (rugged and nasally). The vocalist's signature qualities are what distinguishes him/her from everyone else, but sometimes it really depends on how they sing or what types of effects the eurobeat producers use to make them fit the track.

Did you buy this one and listen all the way through btw? Juno ended up taking the whole thing down because I reported to them that the WAV was incomplete! So I'm waiting on a re-release because that song was really awesome!

Not yet. It's on my to buy list at number 6 , but my funds have taken a down slope. Anyway, I have the EBF edit, but upon hearing the sample, I remebered how much he sounded like Claudio on that particular track.

Thanks for that info though. I usually just purchase the second mp3 option with the dub, so I hope those work well?

New releases:

VIB 053: Mike Danger - I Want To Be Free
VIB 028: Dominque Pratt - It's Only Love
VIB 013: Priscilla - Kill Me With Your Eyes
VIB 124: Angela - Killing My Love
VIB 045: Ex-Tasy - Kiss Me

The "Kill Me With Your Eyes" instrumental preview sounds to be recorded in mono. Can anyone confirm that the mp3 is actually in stereo? (same for the radio mix)

The MP3 preview is showing up in Mono, so it's probably just them encoding the preview that way by accident - I expect the proper song is in stereo.

Also, I just realised we've skipped Jumping To Joy That's the second one so far (although it could turn up later) - the song Fly by Dee Dee was also skipped and hasn't made an appearance yet - curiously they're both next to each other in the catalogue - VIB 147 + 148 respectively.

What will the reaction be like if they skip Love Me Queen?

As long as they don't skip "Queen Of The Night", everything will be roses.
