Love & Sweets part 2 is what WNight should have written. I can see why labels like GGMs, Sinclaire and Eurogrooves are nowhere to be seen. Anyway I like the samples. kinda hard to give full impression when a clip doesn't even have a sneak peak at the riff, but I'll try. I'll put the clips in order of preferance as well.

MIND GAMES / DREAM FIGHTERS (David Dima)
YEAH!! This is Dream Fighters sound! Just when I thought nothing was gonna put me in that perfect Eurobeat zone, along comes this killer clip to ice the cake.This one sounds likes it might be my Eurobeat hit of the cd. Two smiles. One perfect Eurobeat zone and another cause I'm glad as fuck for a fast Dima sung . Thanks!
7.
THE MAGIC OF SUNSHINE / CIAO CIAO (HRG Attack)
I've been wanting to say this for the longest TIME, but it seems Claudio Accantino has taken the reigns at the LMS. You can cleary hear his inspiration from his older works at Saifam. If this was on vinyl I could mix it with
Ciao Ciao- Don't Go Breaking My Heart. Not Eurobeat, but AWESOME song on a late 80's Italo/NRG level! Two smiles. One for the perfect ItaloNRG zone and another one cause I'm glad
Hard To Say I'm Sorry wasn't a one trick pony.
4.
AWAKE / STEPHY (Dima Music)
This sounds like it's gonna contain a lot of epicness. Kinda like an Emotions part 2. She sounds great and the clearness of the sondworlds is gonna make me like the song even better. two smileys, cuz I sense this song to have great lyrics too.
2.
JUNGLE OF FIRE / LAURA VOX (HRG Attack)
One of the few faster sounding clips this cd has to offer. I like this clip, she sounds phoenminal, but I fear it might be the least interesting of her singles. Still I gotta say HRG, are on a huge hit streak at the moment, I'm pretty sure this is gonna be one of the highlights of this cd for me.
8.
PRETTY WOMAN / FRANCIS COOPER (HRG Attack)
Once again Claudio Accantino influence seems to be stronger than ever. Another clip that wouldn't sound out of place mixed with Asia favourites like
Angelo Maria Morales-Pretty Woman Hoping for another 80s influenced riff to go along with the song. I like the backups singing Pretty Woman
3.
INVISIBLE TOUCH / FASTWAY (SCP)
when I first saw this clip on Youtube, I had mixed emotions. The song sounded pretty reliable, but the dancers seems to be just kinda fooling around. Not really giving thier 100% on the dancing. Kinda like when you hear that old M.J. song and wanna start moonwalking. Anyway, that's the feel I got from that video clip as for the song;I'm liking this clip a lot. The chorus sounds really interesting. I know it's all gonna blow with their 4 min extended, but I still think it sounds way better than Rock Beating Wild. Maybe another "It's My Life" would have slotted better with these clips.
6.
CRAZY / DAVID DIMA (Dima Music)
Aptly titled David Dima, since I compare this clip to those songs on Europanic under the name David. I think the full product will be interesting, since the melody in the chorus is not your typical Eurobeat. Dee Dee also sounds in top form.
9.
NEVER GONNA MAKE / RADIORAMA (Saifam)
It's official. AVEX has taken us back to the 80s/90s sound of Eurobeat. This is a nice sounding clip with a very cool sounding riff, but I doubt it can surpass the awesomness of
Always On My Mind. Still waiting fro the Superlove and Moltocarina comebacks.
10.
MEMORIES OF YOU / ORLANDO (Saifam)
This clip has a frestyle melody and for some reason gives me Johnny O flashbacks...and that's a good thing. The vocalis sounds bored as hell . I'll give it one smiley for the melody alone, but remeber Red Bull gives you wings
11.
EYES OF SKY / VIVI (SCP)
Not too bad. This could be Vivi's breakout hit for me. No silliness at all. i like those fast sounding pianos.
5.
QUEEN OF HEART / CORRADO (DELTA)
tis to be Capaldi? Had to hear this clip a few x to even get a grasp of the chorus. No sneak riff doesn't help it either. He is trying to mimic the Paul Harris sound, but it's not quite working out that way on this clip. I'll give it one smiley, cuz I do like his vocals.
1.
TELL ME WHY / RICH HARD (ABeatC)(SunFire)
Not Pirates part 2 that's for sure. The chorus sounds beyond boring. I might like it in it's entirety, but I need to say that the riff sounds so outta place, so I'm giving this clip a worried smiley.
13.
EZ DO DANCE <MORRIS CAPALDI VERSUS TRF REMIX> / TRF
Helna sounded way better than this. The song does have a different feel, than TIME's version, but the vocals ruin it for me.
14.
MELODY <BALLADE MIX> / NAGISA
This a song you might find a Japanese pop music chart or an Animi series like Bleach. No thanks!
I kinda actually enjoyed the magoraty of the clips. I'm a huge fan of the slower Italo sound as well as the fast Eurobeat, so I will proboblty enjoy this entry as much as I did Love & Sweets. The labels seem to comfortably fit thier slower songs on this compilation. Who would have thought HRG Attack to reinvent their sound this much. The only clips that seem to sound confused were the Rich Hard and Corrado ones, but the rest sound very promising.
