ZIPmania All Best Mix
Release Date: 11/13/13
Price: 2190 yen
Final list and cover art are out. It’s great to see the Dancemania mascot being so prominent. 😀
The final list is pretty much the same as the early one, so not much new info other than the addition of “Why Don’t You” by Gramophonedzie, and the Che’Nelle remix being done by ZIP staff. I’m a bit disappointed that there are really only 3 Dancemania tracks, with one of them from Crazy Frog. It’s nice to know EMI still have the rights to E-Rotic and Misa, but Captain Jack is the second-most prolific Dancemania artist, and the fact that he’s not present here makes me wonder if they let the rights go.
Still, not a bad list overall. I could probably do without the more mainstream, non-remixed songs from LMFAO and Flo Rida, but at least most of the other mainstream songs are here in remixed form. In particular, I’m glad they licensed the kz remix of “Take Over Control” from FARM since it’s an awesome remix that breathes new life into the song.

The Dancemania jelly man is back! Glad he’s got top billing too, he wasn’t even on the ZIPmania 7 cover! List is solid, definitely glad they chose remixes for most of the mainstream songs.

Any idea why they closed the official Dancemania website right after the release of this album?
