Mega Trance 09
Release Date: 7/9/08
Price: 1800-2100 yen

Mega Trance 09 downloads have been up on Music Master for a few weeks now, but Kingbeat just added the album today. The odd thing is that Kingbeat has a slightly different selection of tracks up for download. The two Groove Coverage tracks as well as the Sesto Sento tracks are exclusive to Kingbeat, while “Children” and “Shut Up and Drive” are exclusive to Music Master. Music Master tracks are all in 192kbps, while with Kingbeat you have a choice between 192 or 320. Kingbeat is quite a bit more expensive, however.

Well, at least it has plenty of new tracks. Hi-End Attack wouldn’t have been my first choice for “Shut Up and Drive,” but it could be interesting.

Oddly, “Greed Island” is listed as a U&M remix, indicating that it’ll be DJ U*Hey? and DJ Minagawa. However, on the Oriental Space tribute album the remix was just labeled “DJ Minagawa Remix.”

Mega Trance 09
Release Date: 7/9/08
Price: 2190 yen

It’s been almost a year since Mega Trance 08, but Mega Trance is finally back! The cover art has taken on a new direction, looking more similar to the cover of Mega Trance Best II rather than that of Mega Trance 08. Personally, I hope they retool it — the logo looks too much like “Mega 09 Trance.”

The tentative list follows:

01. Lost in Tokyo / DJ U*Hey? feat. Colina
02. Feel / Dance Music Company
03. Because of You (D.M.C Mix) / Sid
04. Longing Love / Texas Boys
05. Scorpion (DJ Ten Remix) / Oriental Space
06. Tokyo / DJ Kaya feat. Keen
07. Lift Me Up / Sesto Sento
08. sui-ren (New Version) / kagura
09. Shut Up and Drive / Angelica
10. Sexy Love (New Mix) / Patis
11. God Is a Girl (Kick Chaser Remix) / Groove Coverage

Looks to be a good lineup. Unlike many of the other major trance releases this year, this one isn’t chock full o’ repeats. Plus, “Shut Up and Drive” is all but guaranteed to be a new remix, and hopefully that means other Saifam remixes as well.
