I thought you liked these songs before? I really disagree with removing Super Eurobeat (Gold Mix Version), although I can definitely see why you would want Send Me An Angel, The Magic of Sunshine, and Good Love & Mystery to be included.
They were okay first time around, but as you know time changes your opinions of certain songs and a review written in a rush of excitement in the week or so after the albums release doesn't hold much relevance months down the line. This is the best of Eurobeat from 2010, and those tracks just don't cut it under that banner for me.

The main reason I would take Super Eurobeat (Gold Mix) out is because Dave should not be on the Queen Side disc. The song itself is okay, but again it would still probably be on the cusp of my best songs from the past year...

Yeah, that's true. One song that has lost a lot of its original value for me is Mr. Moog's Stardust (which you've apparently lost a lot of interest in as well). In part, I may have overplayed it when I first bought it, but I also really don't think that the verse is anything particularly special, and that has an unfortunate effect of weakening the package as a whole, even though I still love the chorus on its own.

Yep, couldn't agree more! The real shining star on that album from Dima was All About You, hence the reason it was included in my tracklisting while Stardust didn't make it...

LMFAO...Avex just ripped that image off! Laziness is the key word right there.

Ehehehe, and I thought Avex was the company that was super anal about copyright infringement. I can only hope they asked for permission to borrow that image for their own use.

They probably didn't rip the image off, but it's another 204 scenario.

It might be 7A's way of I guess saving money, by buying images/photos of things that look like SEB covers rather than hiring models from an agency, getting professionals to take photos and stuff like that to make the SEB cover.

Either way, it's still kinda sad though XP

It shouldn't be a surprise - the whole of the 200 covers have been stock images, haven't they?

Most of them are proved to be yeah... Don't remember the website they were on though because I would search for the rest of them...

I actually caught my pigeon in the middle of replying to MK's post...
That is a mystery to me how he did that...but probably he was just jumping on pc keys.
