Okay time for disc 2:
Do It Right -ElecNekoTronika mix-
At first I didnt think I was going to like his remix, but something about the choice of instruments and decisions he made through out the song made me really enjoy this song, probably my favorite on disc 2. His work has impressed me recently. The only thing that keeps this song from a getting a perfect 10 is the ending "So take it easy now". I thought that was kind of lame.
-9.9/10
together 4 ever -NORTHERN TRANHOUSE MIX-
Tomosuke has yet to fail at making a song, he keeps his songs fresh by not repeating his style over and over. Toward the last couple of minutes of the song, I was expecting to hear the vocals again but he sadly didn't use them much after the first time. The ending with the drums was kind of weird. Great song nonetheless!
-8.7/10
with you -X-Sota Mix-
I love good-cool. His house music his amazing. This song definetly hit the nail on the head. Its about time we heard another house song from good-cool.
9.1/10
Back Into The Light -Special ThanXXX RMX-
haha, this songs cool. The pulsing vocals have a nice effect coming from speakers or something but if you use head/earphones, be prepared, the louder it is the more dizzy it make you
. The violin or whatever that is in the song reminds me of song I heard on the radio but I can't remember the name. Gotta love the TAKA sound!
-8.9/10
Rise'n Beauty -ELECTRO MIX-
With Slake its usually a hit or miss for me, but this time I really don't know what to think of this song. I kind of like it, it kind of gets on my nerves, its original, kind of repetitive, has a good climax and ending, the vocals can get annoying. I really don't know what to make of this song at this point, I need to listen to it more, but for now...
-???/10
Just a Little Smile -DAJI MIX-
It has a cool creepy feel to it, its an okay song. I don't know what else to say about this song. Kind of redundant though.
-8.1/10
Look To The Sky-SADA's J -Trance Vocal Mix-
Sada (as well as Nekomata Master) are rising artists in my book after listening to their songs. I'm not sure who sings the song, but she does a decent job at it. He keeps the song alive through out the song which is always a good thing. Good song.
-8.6/10
Cyber Force -DJ Yoshitaka Remix-
People are kind of booing Yoshitaka and saying how he is not being original with his remixes and they just sound like his other songs. I agree that they do sound like his other songs. And while artists do get points for originality, its not bad if their style doesn't change. I really like how this song came out and he made good use of S-O-T-A through out the song, and the mix of the main melody+Cyborg Akemi's vocals+S-O-T-A samples worked well all playing together at the end. The last few seconds were unnecessary.
-9.0/10
Neo Contra -Extra Bold Mix-
This song was pretty good, nothing amazing though. Looping Paula Terry's voice was kind of irritating. I really don't know what else to say about this song.
-7.8/10
PSYCHE PLANET-GT
Awesome song! Loved the beginning, the whole song didn't really sound like PSYCHE PLANET though. My only major complaint about this song is the climax of the song didn't sound very climactic. Not his best work but it was still a good song.
-8.8/10
Spring Comes Around -In Like a Lion-
The beginning of the song is a great way to open up the song, I was expecting a sad song like his remix of Dawn when I heard he was remixing this song, but cuddlecore works too. The vocals were a bit louder than the rest of the song just like in his other remix, I wanted to hear the only small piano solo in the middle of the song, but I can't hear it because of the loud vocals. But whatever, this is still one of the best songs on the album.
9.8/10
Battle Train -HOT SOTA MIX-B
meh...I didn't really like this song too much, it had Akira Yamaoka's weird style of music that I liked, but overall the song didn't really go anywhere. Where is this song from, I'm guessing a game outside of bemani. (contra maybe)
-8.2/10
The Hope Of Tomorrow -Ryu* Remix-
If it was a darker remix of The Hope of Tomorrow, I think he could have gotten away with calling it a Seiryuu remix. The song was kind of short sadly. It wasn't his best work, but its not bad.
-8.7/10
Run To You -kors k mix-
Very cool, in this song it seemed that there was no rules that kors k had to follow. Everything sounded distorted, the bass was inconsistent and awesome, everything was all over the place. It really grew on me over time. kors k did an amazing job with this song.
-9.4/10
Rising Sun -100% Jupiter Eight Mix-
Hm....my first impressions I got from this song was a good one. The song is very chilled and cool. I like it, though its not the greatest in the world I do hope she'll make more songs for Bemani games.
-8.9/10
Yeah, so overall there wasn't an artist that really took the gold, the genre's had variation which I liked. Overall it was a great disc and makes a fine addition to the "first album's" albums that they have going on here.
Overall- 9.2/10
