Delta has had a pretty turbulent year if you look at their organisational structure, so at this point anything could happen...

Avex will drop you like a bad habit, friend! Avex needs NO ONE!!

In fact, last I checked, Avex lost the current Prime Minister election to Shinzo Abe by only 0.3%! Next round, Avex will take over all of the world. They need no one. They need everyone.

SHOCKING!

[My opinion only before anyone bays for my blood!]

I think it's about time SCP took over as the leading label in the SEB series - A-Beat C only produce rare flashes of brilliance nowadays (Fly In The Sky, Viva The Night...) whereas SCP continue leaping from strength to strength with every passing album.

Delta have slid way below the radar in my opinion, with the majority of their songs ending up as "fillers" to my ears, which is a shame considering their past record. However, you have to roll with the times and adapt to changing tastes, and I just feel that Delta are sounding a bit old a tired...

Time is trying its hardest to rejuvinate itself, which I admire greatly, and HRG are really sticking to what they know best - and while this may not be anything particularly new or ground-breaking, HRG's sound is much more distinctive than Delta's and SEB would be a far less colourful place without them...

Not sure I could say the same for Delta...

Though I'm very disappointed, it's been obvious to me that ABeatC is gonna start getting fewer tracks. Much like the 150 series, I think the 170s are just going to be albums I buy only when I see a song, artist, or 2006/2007 mix that I like enough to buy the whole CD for.

As far as I am concerned, It's about time that A beat C gets less tracks. SEB might become interesting to me again. But add more Time, HRG and especially Delta please :twisted:

That's just your opinion, not a fact. ABeatC is the only thing that has kept me interested in Eurobeat from 1998 to 2004. Recently SCP is a great addition, but the other labels are just junk to me. So there you go.

Ofcourse that's my opinion, as everybody else give their opinions. Anyway, for me A Beat C was the no.1 reason to stop buying SEB at a certain point. Luckily AVEX has been selling their songs online for a while, so I can pick the songs I like. But still only the ones released on SEB, so less songs of my least fav label means more songs available of my favorite labels, and that's good news for me. I do understand that it means less songs of your favorite label, and that's bad news for you.

If you do like A Beat C, enjoy! Apparently you don't like the other labels. Imagine that your favorite label (A Beat C) only had 2 songs each album and one of the 'junk' labels had 7-8 songs each time. Wouldn't you be satisfied with the news that the 'junk' label gets less songs? Well, if we switch persons and favorite/junk labels for this imaginary situation, there's the situation I have now, and therefore me being happy. That's all.

It was never a matter of understanding your point, it was about you presenting it as a fact. I'm glad to see you corrected the sentence :) and I'm happy for you there's more reasons to enjoy Eurobeat. However, I'm not too sure there will be less A.Beat-C songs!

Also I've had my share of good news with the return of Annerley to the label. So I can cope with fewer songs :)

SEB 172 samples (all 18!!) are up on the mu-mo discography page! :D

http://mu-mo.net/id/eurobeat/discograph ... 10172.html

And no surprises for me really - sounds like Pamsy is gonna be my star of the album again. She never lets me down! The Manuel track sounds a bit meh to be honest - like he's trying to do a Neo impression, which isn't a good idea...

Get A Boom is a bit like Pun Pun Beam part 2 only with a retro-style synth hook, and SCP have created another dramatic and epic duet in Getting The Fever...

Sounds interesting... ;)

The Manuel track sounded a lot like a D. Essex track >_>

Up to and including Don't Stop the Music 2006, I had really high hopes, judging from the samples anyways. Really surprised at the Alexis song. Well, and the Barbie one too (but I didn't like it as much as the Alexis one). Hard to believe they're both from Time, though. To steal from a certain someone, I guess TIMEs have changed.

is it just me, or does Nando sound like it's produced by Gelmetti/Gabrielli?

edit: haha i see nrgexpress put up their review and I was right.
