Super Eurobeat 240

[KiraTM]

Maybe that AVEX mixer doesn't know how to mix HRG Attack records.

The sounds are too crazy to mix.

The tracklist looks really good, especially the second cd, wonder if we'll get the usual glitch from one track to Another mixing or if we'll get more transitions? with other styles of Music I'm usually a fan of long transitions but I guess it doesn't work quite the same for eurobeat.

Ya, it's something you kind of just get used to after a while. You'r exactly right, other dance genres, when mixed, usually have about 40 sec. to 1 min. of transition time (happy hardcore, UK Hardcore, hard house, trance, etc). If you can get your hands on the Euromach albums, they have a more traditional flow to them. The thing is, eurobeat tracks just aren't produced in such a manner that allows for continuous mixing, which is why the DJs have to create loops/edits/etc for the non-stops.

Sometimes, the Anniversary mixes have great transitions (120, 190). Let's keep positive thoughts for this one!

If you know what you are doing; transitions are still the best way to mix. There are songs where a couple of drum beats from an intro right before the main synth riff can transition perfectly with a quick drum intro right before the mid break of the song. it's just a matter; of getting the right speeds and letting go the spinning vinyl, at ;just the right TIME. that was one great way to mix TIME vinyls with HRG Attack vinyls.

Well I actually dj a bit as a hobby, have my own show on a very very small radio station, a few weeks a go I playd eurobeat on it and I can tell you, it's not that easy to mix. One thing I did here and there was select tracks that have the same key, some tracks work together if the key of the track is the same, when I look at the tracklist of older eurobeat mixes I don't see that much tracks that's in the same key after each other, but I'm surprised that more eurobeat dj's haven't tried it, for example you can make quite a good transition from Lolita's Try me into Virginelle's Hot love and emotion, the 2 songs are in the same key, roughly the same tempo and I Think some of the chords are even the same. Otherwise when I was live mixing I did a lot of cut transitions from one song to the next, anyway let's hope this cd is mixed well.

I can attest that it's not easy to mix. Early eurobeat is super easy because of the long extended and club style intros, breaks and etc. But current eurobeat is a pain.

What's with the incorrect artist names on two songs? "Dave, Domino, & Friends" and "Macckeroni"

[KiraTM]

That's nothing to mention, we're used to see such typos.
The titles are correct on the disc most of the time.

Avex Trax has opened the renewed Eurobeat page !

http://avex.jp/eurobeat/

Also appeared the first part of SEB Master article with photos and interview of probably the biggest collector.

http://avex.jp/eurobeat/special/detail.php?id=1000909

Impressive room full of hundreds records and A.Beat-C. t-shirt !

Hope the rest of fans with smaller but choosen by director Fujimura collections, who had promised to be on the Avex page and in the booklet of SEB 240 will be there.

That collector is not even collecting the OBIs for each of his CDs that came with one. I don't call that a real collector.

One would argue that, technically, the OBI is only there for an advertising purpose. However, keeping it makes the value of the item go up in price. Case and point: Go to Amazon JP and look at a SEB CD (any) and see those that has the OBI (kanji for obi is 帯. So "With obi" is most likely written as "帯あり" and without "帯なし"). The price of the item, if there's no brand new version of the item, will be much inflated if has its OBI. And the seller know that VERY well because collectors WILL keep and WANT them. So, collecting the OBI has value and will add value to a collection. So, if it adds value to a collection, any good collectors will make everything to make it more valuable. I personally go out of my way to get the OBI because it's like purchasing a book with the ending missing.

Anyways, if not for that, that guy has an amazing collection.

So for those outside of Japan that sent their collection in, don't expect to have an article about yours because they need to visit you. And, that kinda throws the DVD out of the door unfortunately since they are going to write articles about it.

Well they were looking for super fan not collector of packagings.

Mostly with those, who you call the real collectors are only troubles. They haven't any limits in price, whatever they sell or buy, they think that a small plastic piece must cost your 1 - 3 monthly earnings. It has nothing to do with respect to the artist or same music, just their imaginary pleasure in spending the hundreds dollars.

I guided by some criteria, but never order something what is useless for me. Rare song, rare tracklist, rare release - this is what I need plus what I like and will listen often. OBI strip if is included, so it's nice, but I'm looking for music, not extras.

A man, who collected since 80's, 90's probably just threw OBIs. Anyway he has a room for all that, gadgets - see the Avex Trax lunch box, t-shirt.

He deserved to be the biggest winner.

Nobody rather expects an interview, but was promised, that all choosen will be credited on the official page. And in the booklet.

We're waiting, neither copy hasn't yet came to fans out of Japan.

"Very Best Of Eurobeat Fantastic"... Even I have never heard of that CD before. Songlist looks okay though...

If they did an interview about people who had the biggest file collections, that would be more interesting

Also, it's more about what you know about Eurobeat than what you have in my opinion. Anyone can buy Eurobeat without much work, but it takes a long time to learn about Eurobeat.
