I'm freaking loving this Eurobeat music. I got "Super Eurobeat vol. 47" & "Super Eurobeat: Best of 2000". Something I noticed though, the mixing sounds very..."cut & paste" like...Is that usually how Eurobeat is mixed, or do DJs actually use the vinyl/full length versions of the songs live? I think Hardcore needs to start taking it's influence from the Eurobeat sound.

AFAIK, Super Eurobeat = compilation series. It isnt played live (meaning, the CD's arent made for DJ's), it isnt released as singles (no vinyl).
On another site i used to use, there was this one guy who was really into Super Eurobeat. Hes site is probably the biggest english one of the genre: http://eurobeat-prime.com

All I know Eurobeat from is when I used to watch Initial D!! When it was like m.o.v.e and stuff! :P I'm not really into it but I do like bubblegum dance which is relevant to this thread (somewhat) as apparently it also falls into italo-disco quite a lot too, anyone wanna pick out the finer points and tell me the difference between Bubblegum Dance, italo disco and eurobeat?
Here's my bubblegum dance chip I'll shove in for you lovely people:
Yes I do ABSOLUTELY LOVE this kinda music!! I'm sure you know what to expect from me by now :P This is Toy Box - Best Friend.

When I hear "Bubblegum dance", I think of the Venga Boys, Smile.DK, and Aqua. Isn't Eurobeat pretty much the term that was slapped to Italo-Disco once the 80's original Italo-Disco had lost it's popularity and that's when Avex in Japan picked up on the genre in the early 90s, and the Italians started making the template/format to fit the advetising sound Avex wanted?
To clarify my difference, Eurobeat (Italo-Disco) is different from "Bubblegum dance" by that Eurobeat has those crazy keyboard synths and the heavey disco-house influence.
