Official, cuz I couldn't find it anywhere? wait a minuet...it doesn't say vol. 204 |
Posted by: Lebon14 May 12 2010, 01:08 PM |
@beat freak: like 201, 202 and 203, it doesn,t say the volume number on the front... don't ask me why. I found the cover on Amazon.co.jp here : http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BC...9/dp/B003EW4KHK |

Hmmm ... I like the basic idea that's behind this cover, but as for the rest this really is a turn off for me. Why did they gave the beach and sea that horrible purple'ish colour ?! Really, they should've kept the natural colours. THAT would've given it a true summery feeling. I hope the cover's not reflecting the quality of the tracks. |
Posted by: Lebon14 May 13 2010, 12:16 AM | ||
Would you like to keep the original stock image? I still like a small modification like that. (found here : http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-28642498/s...the-beach.html) |
Posted by: smailecho May 13 2010, 02:36 AM |
Well look forward to the album! Ha ha looking forward to 6.2 days with |
Posted by: Seiji May 13 2010, 06:29 AM | ||
I personally would've kept the original if this cover is the only other option. Being a graphics designer myself, I like the stock image 10 times more than what they've done to it. I sure wouldn't have to shove something like this under my boss' nose. If they had only made the sky and sea a tiny bit more blue (natural looking blue of course), and added some brightness to the sand and the model for a more summery feeling, it would've looked so much better. THIS gives me a summery feeling: http://www.mp3s.su/uploads/posts/2009-05/1...e-ibiza-sky.jpg |

Holy crap, that cover is really weird, by SEB standards! The focal point is usually the model in a set, not outside! Interesting! The tracklist looks good too. |
Posted by: beat freak May 14 2010, 12:50 AM |
WOW! Two Brang new HRG Attack songs and welcome back Powerful T. So Jager is what the J. stands for in J. Lehr, right? I heard that Manuel clip. It certainly isn't Nightrain, so I got my guard what the f**k is a M.O.V. feat Frankie? Shouldn't that title read "Hit Me Up" This song list looks about as exciting as the cover. |

Jager is Mike Snap/Saetta Kid from the LoveParaPara eurobeat series. Not Jay Lehr. Jay Lehr is a german vocalist/songwriter for SCP. Jager/Mike Snap is also the vocalist for Lupin - Black UFO |

Jayveemon
I just noticed that J.Lehr is credited as F. Lehr on the booklets. Black U.F.O is the best song from Saifam since as far as can remeber. I still say the cover for SEB 204 blows chunks. If I saw that ,I would be expecting that 90 Housy Italo music. |

Yeah Jay's real name is Ferdinand. |

Some translations for the japanese text...may not be the best, but here we are: 1. I Won't Fall Apart/ Jager "Marks the beginning of Summer 2010 with a SCP newcomer. A song of full of exhiliration!" 2. Forever Fly/ Stella "An extremely classy, classical gem in her long-awaited new track" 3. Face The Race/ Powerful T. "The quality will appeal to real rock fans. He sings close to the listener so they feel the scale and powerful phrases." 4. Good Love & Mystery/ Lolita "A song of past nostalgia while mixing the thrill of summer freshness. It's perfect for summer!" 5. All Is Magic/ Manuel "Mr. Manuel has been traded! He, himself, was involved in creating this DIMA masterpiece." 6. Sandy/ Mela "In the late 80s, "Help Me" was a big hit with legendary singer, Mela. She has a comeback, finally. The new wave of 10 years should be great." more to come... |

Posted by: mamorunl May 17 2010, 11:07 PM |
I got to say that I like them all except for 'MELA - SANDY'. Also, I expected something a bit faster from ACE. Well, maybe it will all turn out the other way on the actual CD |
Posted by: BeatBoy May 17 2010, 11:12 PM |
I like what I heard from Jagger, Powerful T., Manuel and Melissa White |
Posted by: Seiji May 18 2010, 08:46 AM |
The samples are like the cover, not giving me a wow feeling at all. Unlike with the previous 3 SEBs, there's not a single sample that makes me badly crave to hear the full song. Ok, the quality of the samples is terrible, but still, I don't think that this is going to be an album that will get much attention from me. All I can do is hope that the full songs prove me wrong (but I have my doubts ). So far, the only ones that I'm looking forward to are Jager, Stella, Danny Rock, and Melissa White. I'll have to hear the full version of All is Magic to make up my mind about that one. All the rest is one big disappointment at the moment. I was expecting much better work from Powerful T. and Lolita (who used to be such big hit canons in the past), and the riff of the Tora Tora Tora remix sound just horrible. And WTF have they done to Don't Stop the Dance ?! They completely raped it. Sounds like a bad cross-breeding of cheesy boys band music and useless slow R&B (as if they don't play enough stupid R&B on the radio already ... urgh, I HATE R&B !!!). One thing's for sure; am I glad that I have the original extended of Don't Stop the Dance. So yeah, not really looking forward to the 204 at the moment. |

http://avexnet.or.jp/eurobeat/diary/ Dave Rodgersの新レーベルに関し SEB203のクレジットを見てお気づきの方もいらっしゃると思いますが DaveがA-BEAT Cから独立し新しいレーベルを設立致します。 レーベル名は 「Sun Fire Records」です。 今まさに立ち上げの準備段階ですが新たなプロデューサーも加わるそうです。 詳細がわかりましたらHPのレーベル欄へアップ致します。 Matter concerning new label of Dave Rodgers Though it is thought that the person who notices because it sees the credit of SEB203 also comes Dave Rodgers will become independent of A-BEAT C, and establish new label. The label name It is "Sun Fire Records". A new producer seems also to join though it is exactly a preparation stage of the start-up now. When details are understood, I will improve to the label column of HP. |
Posted by: kyonpalm May 19 2010, 08:10 AM |
Oh hell, this does NOT look good. This is worse than Time changing to Eurogrooves. So who's gonna run A-Beat C now, I wonder... and how will Sun Fire Records sound... all in due time, I guess. I just don't know what Dave's thinking, not to just make a new label, but to become independant of A-BEAT C - arguably the most legendary eurobeat label of all time. |
Posted by: beat freak May 20 2010, 12:04 AM |
These samples are really crappy guys, At first listen I'm only liking Cindy, Joe Banana and Powerful T. Glad he is back. Manuel and Ace sound like they got bitten by the aishu bug ...and what am I gonna do without a Dave Rodges track on SEB. Vol. 204 is really lack ing in the BPM departmant. NoNo! this cd just won't do. I'm gonna close my eyes and count to 10 and when I open them up, I want AVEX to tell me this is a late April fool's joke and gimmi the real previews. |
Posted by: Fad May 20 2010, 12:46 AM |
Is the Jager track a cover of something ? it sounds very familiar |
Posted by: Jayveemon May 20 2010, 09:26 AM | ||
Well there is that The Race Is tHe Game track fron Dave that 7A wants to release on SEB soon. Interesting thing about 204 is that 7A plans on releasing not just the extended mixes on iTunes but the instrumental versions as well. |
Posted by: TsukinoKou May 20 2010, 05:32 PM | ||
That's true... I keep listening to it and it does sound like something I've heard before... It's a pretty good track so far... IMO |
Posted by: Ronnie May 21 2010, 05:08 AM |
So... is Dave Rodgers trying to move more away from Eurobeat? I know he's experimented with other genres but their is a reason he is known as the "king of eurobeat." He must be trying to focus on more newer stuff and probably thinks A-Beat-C is making him stagnant, I sure do hope he still has a powerful influence on the independent record label. |
Posted by: BeatBoy May 21 2010, 07:04 AM |
Can't wait to hear Sun Fire Records productions! |
Posted by: DoubleYou May 23 2010, 06:41 PM |
I don't want to break anything or cause a fight here, but in the last SEBs his songs were more like (slow) rock than Eurobeat... He might have a name for Eurobeat in the past, but in these Eurobeat compilations every time I heard him, I HAD to press next... Luckily he was the last track in SEB 203 so I could just skip him easily. |
Posted by: BeatBoy May 24 2010, 01:08 PM |
I think Dave Rodgers's rock tracks are okay but I want really him to do eurobeat again. |
Posted by: beat freak May 24 2010, 07:38 PM |
It seems you guys alredy forget "Super Eurobeat" duet with Futura. That was a great song and completely forshadowed those prog rock remixes. |

I don't believe it... seriously. I cannot thank you enough!! You are my favourite person of the year mate! I have been hunting for a site I can buy extends of albums such as D1 Grand Prix Presents Tokyo Drift, Super Eurobeat etc for the past five years. I've gone through ITunes and several other sites recommend by everyone here, recommendations by even Newfield and have resisted circumventing regional restrictions and sat patiently. Musico.jp actually accepted my Aussie credit card. I didn't get the regional crap. Seriously. Thank you so much! |
Posted by: Fad Jun 2 2010, 01:09 AM | ||
I`m going to have to check that site out then, I didn`t think it would be possible !? Were you able to read that in Japanese, or successfully translate it somehow ? |
Posted by: Bladeoz Jun 2 2010, 01:19 AM |
I had to translate it, but it wasn't so bad with two screens open. That said, turns out theres a lot less Eurobeat on there than I thought, but I'm not upset - D1 extends from the 2010 version, some I've been hunting since the first CD and extends from Super Eurobeat 200 - 204. Now to find >200 |
Posted by: Fad Jun 2 2010, 01:32 AM |
Thanks, I just had a quick look and I really haven`t got the time or patience to do that that in combinanation with the fact that there isn`t too much on there just sealed that for me. |

Wow.... I can't believe I'm saying this but this entire album is so incredibly mediocre! I mean apart from I Won't Fall Apart None of these songs really stand out and sound so generic some of them feel disjointed like they had several sound bites and just threw them together. I mean they are not terrible songs but I can hardly say I'm toe tapping to Cataclysm Night or Bang Bang. I may have to give this a more thorough listen to but as far as first impressions go this is not good. |
Posted by: kyonpalm Jun 6 2010, 01:28 AM |
Here we are again, with this month's issue of Super Eurobeat Seriously, with volumes coming out each month, it's like a magazine. It's been this way for so long, I can't believe I haven't heard anyone make the comparison! Anyway volume 203 was so good, it confirmed my feelings for this SEB decade, and so I listened to this volume with high hopes. Sadly, (like 202 was, compared to 201) although this was a great album as a whole, there weren't really many standouts. Don't let that give you the wrong idea about my views on this album, though! I think it's great, so let's just get on with the review now. 01. Jager - I Won't Fall Apart Rating: 9.5/10 Woah, now this is a strong start! I'd never heard of Jager before, so this was a pleasant surprise. The synth riff is pretty nice and driving. The bridge is very nice and the chorus is one of the catchiest I've come across in a while! It's absolutely amazing, and the production value is very high here too. I love the drum break when it goes from bridge to chorus, it just fits so perfectly! The second half of the chorus is also a welcome surprise, since it breaks just a little bit from the traditional eurobeat formula. If there's one thing I can give today's eurobeat, it's that it's not afraid to get a bit experimental, and that's a very good thing, especially when most of these songs end up sounding great! This is an amazing song, and a great way to start the album. ~~~ 02. Stella - Forever Fly Rating: 7/10 Very good intro here, first of all. Gives you a good idea about the dreamy mood of the song. It's not really anything special, at least not until the chorus comes along, which is pretty great. Vocals here are pretty amazing too, especially in the chorus. Stella really shines in this song. Despite how good the chorus is, and the great mood, though, it's not really anything I would listen to very often. I wish I had more to say. ~~~ 03. Powerful T. - Face The Race Rating: 7.25/10 "WOO Powerful T.! WOO nice intro! WOO-- wait that's kinda generic." Even though (for the most part) this has "typical A-Beat C" all over it, it's still a great and strong song. Great verse, and the bridge leads the way to the chorus nicely. Great guitar solo, as usual for A-Beat, and T's vocals are still top notch! Long story short, I approve of this song. Not many deserve the name Powerful T. on them, you know. ~~~ 04. Lolita - Good Love & Mystery Rating: 6.5/10 Haha, man, her voice hasn't lost it at all. This is pretty good, and keeps with Lolita's style totally. I find that you really have to be a fan of that style to like (or at least appreciate) her songs. It's a pretty interesting song, but not really something that'd make it on my non-stop playlist. That said, I wouldn't mind coming across this song on a megamix or something in the future. It's pretty good, and production value is high too, so that's nice. ~~~ 05. Manuel - All Is Magic Rating: 8/10 Wow, now THAT'S a good intro! If there's one word that could describe Manuel's voice, it's WILD. In fact, I think that describes it perfectly. Pretty great synth riff, awesome verse, decent bridge, but the chorus seems like it's from a different song! It's pretty awkward, but I really like it somehow. It's strange, but this song comes together nicely. This is Manuel's first song at Dima Music, and I'd say it's a very nice start. I can't wait to hear more! ~~~ 06. Mela - Sandy Rating: 7.75/10 AMAZING INTRO. Just oozes awesome. I love the bridge so much, and the chorus is nice and enjoyable. Considering Boom Boom Beat's style and, well, BOOM BOOM BEATS, it seems a bit off in a song like this that focuses on melody, rather than rhythm. The synths (riff and background) are a GREAT fit for this song though, and I love the break about three and a half minutes in. If this song were produced twenty years ago, it'd still sound this good. Mainly because Asia Records' sound was perfect for this back then. Now, I'll be honest, as far as the name Mela goes, this is no "Help Me". But then again, it's not 1989 now is it? ~~~ 07. Danny Rock - Rainbow Rating: 8.25/10 "What's this? Even MORE BoomBoomBeat?! And this time it's Farina? F**k yeah!" Compared to a song like Sandy, this song is much more suited for the style and hardcore beats that BBB has to offer. Great verse and bridge, and an amazing chorus are all accompanied by Farina's rough-n-tough vocals, which (unlike a few artists who have been around as long as him) haven't diminished once in over twenty years. There's so many things about this song to like... it's just so likable, what can I say - just another great SAIFAM production like most of the others. ~~~ 08. Cindy - Squeeze Me Rating: 7/10 "Something HRG this way comes... please for the love of all that is holy, don't lose the sanity you had last time with I Am A Liar...!" Luckily, they didn't. That's not to say I don't like insanity. It's perfectly fine, as long as it's a good song. It's just that a lot of HRG's stuff seems to be crazy for the sake of crazy, without too much regard for variety in melodies. Anyway, this is a pretty good song. I really love the bridge, and the chorus isn't too bad either. Nothing TOO special, but I can appreciate this song for what it's worth completely, and it's pretty darn good. ~~~ 09. Paul Harris - Bang Bang Rating: 8.25/10 Well I think it's official - I'm no fan of those synths. More specifically, whatever kind of synth they're using in that riff. It's a good riff, but I don't like that saw-like synth, or whatever it is. Anyway, Paul Harris has always been pretty good in my opinion, and Delta's very strong right now, so I went into this song with some hopes. I have no idea why, but they weren't met the first time I listened to this song. I couldn't appreciate just how epic the chorus is, I guess. Compared to the chorus, not much else about this song is anything to write home about, but really it's not bad at all. It's just that the chorus... is so awesome. And Paul's vocals are crisp as usual, too. He's perfect for this song, in every way. ~~~ 10. Melissa White - Promised Discoland Rating: 7/10 Heh, I kinda went into this song expecting it to be one of the best tracks on the album, because it had Disco in the title (I'm a big fan of Disco-infused Eurobeat). Sadly this has absolutely nothing on Phil & Linda, so I was a bit disappointed. That said, this is a pretty great song anyway! It's just Melissa White's style, and is another song I wouldn't mind hearing on a megamix sometime. But even still, this song doesn't do anything to venture too far from traditional formula, so I wish I had more to say about this track, but I don't. ~~~ 11. Joe Banana - Cataclysm Night Rating: 8.5/10 Remember when I said HRG tends to be crazy for the sake of crazy? Throw that out the window on this track. This is a controlled blaze here. Man, I'm really impressed by this song. The bridge is chaotic, awesome, and epic all at the same time. Mr. Banana's vocals in the chorus are just plain unbelievable! I love that style so much, in this type of song. I mean, when his voice does that wobbly-or-whatever-thing at "A new era for the world", it's just great. Come to think of it, Joe Banana tracks have always been pretty great, especially Dum Dum Pistol, so it's good to see that trend continuing. This song joins that small, exclusive list of HRG Attack songs that I'll listen to non-stop any day! Just amazing. ~~~ 12. M.O.V. featuring Frankie - Heat Me Up Rating: 9/10 "Another newcomer, eh? This could be good, if Jager's any indication." Boy was I right. I don't know much about this artist, but his voice (and honestly, the whole verse) reminds me so much of Dead Or Alive, it's scary... but more importantly, cool. And "cool" describes the chorus to a T. This song is awesome, and production value is sky-high. I'm loving the instruments being used here. It's only five minutes long, but it could be ten and I'd love it just as much. ~~~ 13. MAX - Tora Tora Tora (2010 Year of the Tiger Remix) Rating: 6/10 *sigh* And I thought Good Love And Mystery was the low point of this album. I was never a big fan of Tora Tora Tora. It's a decent enough song, but just so damn overplayed, I can't even enjoy it's awesome synth riff anymore. At any rate, this remake is VERY nicely done. If only all remakes were produced this well. This isn't what TTT would sound like if it were produced now, it's the real TTT, just recreated and updated with today's instruments. Now that's how it's done. ~~~ 14. Ace - Don't Stop The Dance (Vintage 2001 Deluxe Version) Rating: 10/10 WHAT THE F**K IS THIS I DON'T EVEN. This song... is just heaven. I think that's exactly the way to put it. The mood, and Ace's clear vocals... yeah that sounds right. This song is a shining example of why we NEED the return of Eurobeat SINGLES. Vinyl, CD, MP3, I don't care! Just imagine if we had this song almost a decade ago when it was made! Unreal. Anyway, I LOVE the piano, and the percussion is a really great touch. The melody of this song is so amazing, I'm speechless. I could listen to this song for an hour. As long as it can be pulled of as well as this one was, I would love to see more ARR-N-BEE remixes of eurobeat songs. I mean, this is a shining example of how great a lot of eurobeat songs can sound when slowed down! This, like Diabolik on 203, is another "perfect" song. I wouldn't do anything to this. An mindblowing way to end the album, for sure. ~~~ TOTAL SCORE: 110/140 At first, I was somewhat disappointed in the volume as a whole, but (especially compared to past volumes) this is still a great album with plenty of gems and not many low points at all. I'm definitely still optimistic about the SEB decade, and will be looking forward to hearing 205 for sure. |

Well I sure don't want to see that happening !!! It already pisses me off that half, or even more than half of the songs they play over here on several radio stations is R&B (I deeply hate R&B and everything related to it). So the last thing I want to see is R&B slipping into my beloved Eurobeat world and slowly spreading its tentacles there as well ! Thus, I don't like this remix one bit. Maybe I would, partially, if it was the first time ever hearing the song. But putting the original extended version (which I so adore) next to it makes me cry. This is one of those remixes that I will never play again. Gets a big fat 0/10 from me, as well as the title of worst song on the 200s so far ! SEB 204 is a pretty mediocore album. For me it has no instant big hits like the previous 3 albums did. BUT, in the end, I do am positively surprised by the 204, because I didn't really like the samples. A couple of songs turned out to be much better than I was expecting (Sandy for example), and others did just the opposite (All is Magic). I'll listen to the album a couple more times before I give scores. |

Good review KyonPalm although I thought you were a little generous with those scores, but everyone to their own I guess. What are you going to do when you run out of those images? LOL |
Posted by: kyonpalm Jun 6 2010, 11:16 AM |
Like Ronnie says, to each his own. And yeah, I kinda ran out of images. Time to go get more reactionfaces... |

Sorry for Track 13... I did NOT write those files. I have the original booklet and I would love to help decipher Track 13, but... there's way too much kanjis... |

Now I know what Joe Banana actually sings in Cataclysm Night. Before that I thought he was just mumbling >_> "2012 is a boom bang bang" |

I think that SEB 203 was better than this one. Only tracks from this one I enjoyed: Jager - I Won't Fall Apart Powerful T. - Face The Race Lolita - Good Love & Mystery Manuel - All Is Magic Melissa White - Promised Discoland |
Posted by: xxxnullifierxxx Jun 9 2010, 01:55 PM |
quality album! i noticed the less songs there are the better the album. they would do 5 tracks next time. haha |
Posted by: Static_Skunk Jun 9 2010, 03:05 PM |
Only liking Lolita and MOV on this one. But then, I've become a lot pickier in my old age. |
Posted by: fettman53 Jun 12 2010, 01:08 PM |
I swear it sounds like Melissa White is singing "I promise disco love, all night..." Not discoland. But whatever they call it is what it's called I guess. |
Posted by: beat freak Jun 12 2010, 10:05 PM |
I hope 2012 comes around real soon if all Eurobeat will sound as killer as Cataclysm Night, Cd was allright except for All is Magic, Forever Fly,Don't Stop The Dance and Sandy. Those suck. in order of preferance 1. Face The Race 2. Cataclysm Night 3. Heat Me Up 4. Squeeze Me 5. Rainbow 6. Bang Bang 7. I Won't Fall Apart 8. Tora Tora Tora(year of the Dragon mix) 9.
