[Grooving with Classic Albums] Eurobeat from Around the World: Recommended Popular Tracks (21–30)
No Limit2 Unlimited
2 Unlimited is a group formed by Belgian music producer Jean-Paul De Coster and Phil Wilde, who was active in the hardcore techno unit T99.
Hugely popular in Belgium’s electronic music scene, the group had a major influence on New Beat, which is closely connected to late-1980s Eurobeat.
One of their signature tracks is No Limit.
Reflecting the members’ hardcore techno background, it’s a compelling piece featuring a punchy melody that feels like a mix of Eurobeat and psychedelic trance.
Give Me UpMichael Fortunati
This song was covered by a Japanese idol group, and that’s how I first came to know it.
I remember thinking it didn’t sound like a typical idol track and felt unusually profound, and when I found out it was a cover, it all made sense.
Early Eurobeat songs were often covered by Japanese artists.
No! Mr Boom BoomBodyheat
This is an irresistible track whose intro repeats the same motif while gradually growing richer and richer.
It’s so long you start to wonder when the song will actually begin, and even when another melody joins in, the vocals still don’t come.
That feeling of being teased is the best part.
Meet My FriendEddy Huntington
This is a track marked by Eddy Huntington’s gentle vocals.
It’s a song from over 20 years ago, around the time I first discovered Eurobeat.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s reminded of those days when I listen to this song.
ButterflySMiLE.dk
A song said to be one of the most memorable tracks in the Dance Dance Revolution video game series.
Smile.dk is a Danish band whose members are from Sweden.
Thanks to the success of Dance Dance Revolution, they became known not only in Japan and Hong Kong, but also across Europe and the United States.
