Option Presents Street Tribe

1.Margaret - Mine Is Your Love (A-Beat C)
Well well here we are. The song starts out with engine sounds, like in so many Initial D soundtrack songs. But for the song... Margaret has a great voice and this song is kind of calm but still rocking. I like the melody of this song and that ”jazz horn” in the background.
Rating : 8+

2.Cherry - When I Close My Eyes (Delta)
The melody is quite good and the chorus is good too, but that’s about it. I can’t find anything in this song that would make it something special. Heard and seen it all before.
Rating : 7-

3.Lolita - Goin' On (A-Beat C)
Powerfull lyrics and awesome singing by Lolita. Lolita really has it. Basically I don’t like Lolita that much, but this song is really good. The chorus is great and the melody is quite good too.
Rating : 8½

4.A-Beat Power Feat. Edo, Dave & Domino – Wanted (A-Beat C)
Okay.. the line-up sounds amazing, but is the song amazing? Well.. it’s quite a basic song. The chorus is okay and melody is quite good too. Not much left to say.
Rating : 7½

5.Tension - Come On (Baby) (Time)
I like Tension's voice, but this song ain’t that good. Well, well the song is somewhat of a  basic eurobeat song. Chorus is basically the best part of the song. I don’t like or hate this.
Rating : 7-

6.DJ NRG - Bad Boy (A-Beat C)
DJ NRG has some great songs, but this ain’t in that list. I don’t like this at all. I guess if I had to say something positive, then at least the chorus is okay.
Rating : 6-

7.Mr. Groove - Take My Heart (A-Beat C)
This song ain’t moving me up or down. It’s an okay song, better than Bad Boy, but still something is missing. Not that good. The Melody is quite good.
Rating : 6+

8.Oda - Shy Gun (Delta)
So far this CD’s best song. I like the melody, chorus, lyrics and Oda’s singing. This is a great song. Quite frankly I can’t think of anything negative to say about this song. Great song, again.
Rating : 9½

9.Dave Rodgers - Stay The Night (A-Beat C)
I like Dave’s voice, but this song is missing a big part... of something. Can’t say what it is, but this is quite the basic song, again. Dave’s voice earns few extra points.
Rating : 7

10.Go Go Girls - Go Go Dance (A-Beat C)
Go Go Girls have real some energy in their songs. I like this. The chorus is great and the melody is also good. Not much left to say, simply great.
Rating : 9

11.Niko - Night Of Fire (Delta)
Niko’s Night Of Fire ain’t that good. Okay, it has a good melody and good lyrics, but I don’t like it that much. When I hear it, I generally listen through it, but I don’t play it that offen. Because I’ve heard this far too many times.
Rating : 8½

12.Mike Hammer - Catch Me (Time)
Okay, 80’s is still pop, but not that pop. I don’t like this track at all. Not a good thing to say. Maybe somebody likes this but that ain’t me.
Rating : 5+

13.Delta Force – Heroes (Delta)
Good song, your basic good eurobeat. Good guitar and a good melody. But still there's something missing, I can’t find anything special in this song. But it’s a good song.
Rating : 7½

14.Mr. Groove - Highway Star (A-Beat C)
Awesome song. I love this. Very catchy, the melody is great and the lyrics are also great. And there is some real energy in this song. One of Mr. Groove’s best songs.

Rating : 9+

16.Time Force – Hurricane (Time)
The chorus is quite good, but it's too much of a basic song. I can’t say anything good or bad about this. Golden middleline.

Marko Polo is one of my favorite artists. This is a great song. You can feel the energy flow, Awesome chorus, lyrics, melody. This is definitely my stuff.
Rating : 9½

18.Leslie Parrish - Killing My Love (Delta)
Well, here we are again, a bit better than a basic eurobeat song. Leslie has a great voice, good chorus and the melody is quite good. Okay, this is an okay song.
Rating : 8-

19.Niko - Made Of Fire (Delta)
Night Of Fire or Made Of Fire, well Night Of Fire is better, but this ain’t not that bad. I like the singing and I like Niko’s voice. A bit better than a basic eurobeat song.

Great song, great lyrics and the chorus is awesome, the melody is also great.
I like this song very much. Hard and soft at the same time.
Rating : 8½

22.Spencer - Doctor Of Love (Boom Boom Beat)
Kind of an old song, but this is one of this cd’s best songs. It’s old and it’s good. Good lyrics and a good chorus, It kind of reminds me of Modern Talking, don’t ask me why, but it does. A great song.
Rating : 9+

23.Groove Twins - Ready For You (A-Beat C)
So much energy, good singing and the melody rocks. It must be Ready For You, a great song. I recommend this to anyone who suffers depression. Simply a great song.
Rating : 9+

24.King & Queen - Turbo Lover (A-Beat C)
Okay, back to basics. A calm song not too hyper. I like the singing. But too much of a basic song. Not a bad performance though.
Rating : 7½

25.Valentina – Harmony (A-Beat C)
Here we are, the last song. Harmony is a good song, I like it. Quite oldish, a great chorus and I like the melody too. And I like the slow part in the song. Not bad at all.
Rating : 8-

Final words :
Okay, this was my first review. But for the CD. There are some jewels on it, but there are also quite many basic songs. Mr. Groove, Spencer, Groove Twins, Go Go Girls, Oda and Marko Polo present the best songs on this CD. Well I can’t say if you should buy it. It’s guite a basic collection.

Final Score :  8
