I've bought some of the singles from junodownload and was surprised, that these tracks sound much better, than the same songs on Euromach CD's! It seems they have more sound details on center and side-stereo channels!. I wonder if someone else noticed that?

It could be ,because you are hearing them at a slower speed. You can really hear the different soundworlds a lot clearer than those Euromachs, because of slower bpm's. The ones on I-Tunes sound sound just as great 8)

For a heads up, these are all availible on iTunes. At least they are over here.
I'm fully aware of that. I want them in WAV format and with all the acapella/instrumental/last-edit trimmings!

Do you plan on making remixes and/or edits?

Well since the requests seem to be pilling in... what about Starkly Ice - Take Me To Paradise? It seems someone is either telling HRG what we'd love to download or they're reading it themselves! hehe... I'd really like to buy the extended of that and Shake Me Up by Jungle Bill and Bad Girl by Jeff Driller.

So far they're releasing in catalogue order. If they keep up this pace, they're getting through 12-13 songs a week, which means Shake Me Up (HRG 256) may just see a release in the next couple of weeks. Bad Girl is up at HRG 311 so I'm not sure that'll be released for at least 7 weeks or so, assuming HRG don't speed up or slow down!

If this kind of service was provided by all of the labels I can't really say how poor I'd be... I'm definitely getting the best releases out of these and if other labels should follow, things would just seem even brighter.

Queen Of The Night extended is <3

It does seem like HRG have hit on to a winning formula going through Juno Download this way. The pricing is very well tiered - you can pay as little as £1.09 for a song (alright, a bit more than iTunes, perhaps), or £1.29 for better quality, or you can even go the whole hog (as I'm doing) and buy the entire set of versions for £5.99 in WAV quality.

OK, paying £5.99 a shot is seriously draining on the bank account, but in my books this is a fantastic opportunity for someone like me who really enjoys having material to make remixes, edits, megamixes, etc.

If the other labels followed suit in this way (and that includes releasing acapella/instrumentals), I'd be on Juno in a shot paying for WAV-quality releases of my favourite songs. I'd seriously love to put together megamixes with unusual twists on the songs (much as Avex does, though I prefer certain DJs' styles over others). Normal EB songs don't always mix together very well, but using acapellas and instrumentals you can really go all out and generate more "mix-friendly" versions of tracks.

I think I'm in the minority these days, as I just don't like the stutter-step/stop-and-go effect that seems to be all over most megamixes, to the point where people expect them now... Its become old to me.

Actually, my mixing preference is more towards the segues that happen more gently, keep the rhythm going, and happen over 8-16 bars rather than dead quickly.

Euromach 10 Disc 1 is a great example of the kind of EB mixing I really like. SEB 180 Disc 1 is a great example of the king I really hate.
