Release Date: 11/5/08
Price: 1905 yen

I’m happy to report that ETB 8 is slightly less of a train wreck than I expected it to be. Sure, it’s ~90 percent repeats, but there are a few interesting things about it. More info after the jump.

Techno Pop Anime
Release Date: 11/26/08
Price: 2381 yen

A new 2-disc compilation coming from EMI. As the title implies, it will feature techno, trance, and house covers of popular anime tracks. Disc 1 will be a nonstop mix, while a bonus disc will feature instrumental and a cappella versions. 2381 yen for two discs isn’t half bad.

Tentative track list after the jump.

Release Date: 10/15/08
Price: 2000 yen

This was supposed to have been released on September 17, but was delayed to October 15. The early track list only contained repeats. However, the final list thankfully has a handful of new tracks, including a trance cover of a very popular eurobeat song…

Sagyouyou BGM TranceExit Trance presents Sagyouyou BGM Trance
Release Date: 10/1/08
Price: 1905 yen

Whereas CM Trance is made up of only J-Trance, Sagyouyou Trance appears to feature only western-style trance. Looking over the list, I still don’t get how it (or, for that matter, the cover) relates to the theme.

Final list after the jump.

Most of the tracks on the final list are unknown to me. That’s most likely a good thing, as CM Trance features very few repeats.

Final list after the jump.

Exit Trance presents Akachan Trance
Release Date: 11/5/08
Price: 2000 yen

Well, it certainly lives up to its name. Forget TranceMaster 02 — this may very well be the trance album of the year.

The early romanized track list is below. Try to guess which lullabies or children’s songs they are.

Exit Trance Best #08
Release Date: 11/5/08
Price: 1905 yen

Uggh, no. Not only is the early list full of repeats, but some of them have already been on Exit Trance Best #07. I’m sure Quake wouldn’t actually put them on ETB #08 again, though. Right?

Tentative list after the jump.

TranceMaster 02Exit Trance presents TranceMaster 02

Fewer tracks than first announced, but still three more than the first TranceMaster. A lot of familiar classical songs will be covered, as well as a few more obscure ones.

Final list after the jump.

Exit Trance presents Aerodynamic Best
Release Date: 11/5/08
Price: 1905 yen

Fifth release in the Aerodynamic series mixed by DJ Murauchi. The previous releases mostly had repeats from other Exit Trance series, and the fact that this is called Aerodynamic Best likely means that it’ll feature repeats of repeats.

Exit Trance presents Akachan Trance
Release Date: 11/5/08
Price: 2000 yen

Baby Trance. I wish I was kidding. My best guess is that this will have trance covers of lullabies, though I have a sneaking suspicion that “Caramelldansen” and “Sousei no Aquarion” will show up no matter what.

It’s almost as if Quake purposely choose every theme except the one I actually want: VGM Trance.

Exit Trance Best #08
Release Date: 11/5/08
Price: 1905 yen

The main Exit Trance series has been floundering lately. The influx of anime tracks beginning with Exit Trance #05 was bad enough, but the fact that the seventh release didn’t even have a single new song was just unforgivable. The upcoming eighth release in the series promises to have songs from DJ Yoshinori, Cascada, DJ Murauchi, and Kindervater, though it remains to be seen if the songs will actually be new.

R25 Speed Anime Trance Best 2Exit Trance presents R25 Speed Anime Trance Best 2
Release Date: 9/3/08
Price: 1905 yen

Aside from “Sousei no Aquarion,” there’s one other anime theme that’s seemingly showed up on every anime dance compilation ever. Somehow Quake have managed to avoid covering this particular song. That is, until now. Can you guess which overused anime theme will serve as the lead track? Answer after the jump.

Exit Trance presents Sagyouyou BGM Trance
Release Date: 10/1/08
Price: 1905 yen

Rememeber when I said that Quake wanted to make trance covers out of anything and everything possible? I wasn’t kidding. Sagyouyou translates to “work,” so “Sagyouyou BGM” is basically music one listens to while at work. And you thought Speed Buyuuden was a strangely themed album.

Okay, it’s really not as strange as you may think. A little further research reveals that a lot of people at work listen to music on NicoNico Douga, which is the Japanese equivalent of YouTube. That’s right: a lot of Sagyouyou BGM is just anime songs. There’s no tentative list yet, but expect a lot of anime songs and “Souse no Aquarion” for the 127th time.
