There's been a mystery on my mind for years, but I'm not very good at researching these things; maybe you guys could help me out?
I'm a huge fan of the Eurobeat label Hi-NRG Attack; they're responsible for some of the most ridiculous songs the genre has to offer and I love them to bits. The majority of their songs have been released worldwide on iTunes, making them very easy to obtain legally, and even some songs that never made it to iTunes were released on older CD compilations and are obtainable with some digging. However, there are four songs listed on their website that don't seem to have surfaced anywhere:
"Avex" by Eva X
"Taking Your Breath Away" by Giorgia Barrows
"Enfant Terrible" by Garcon
"Sitting Bull" by Joe Banana
A list of the whole catalogue is available here (up to a certain point, anyway, they stopped updating it after a while despite still releasing singles and tracks on the compilation series "Super Eurobeat" on a regular basis):
livemusicstudio.com/ click "catalogue" at the top
There's a fifth track I'm curious about as well, "Mickey" by Baby Mouse. While this song is available on a number of compilations, the longest version I can find of it is just shy of three minutes, which feels odd when everything else they've released is four minutes or longer. I'm also wondering if a longer version of that one exists or if it's just a fluke. (Googling that one in particular is irritatingly difficult, I just get Disney stuff...)
So... four and a half missing songs? I'm honestly halfway prepared to hear that at least one of those four was never actually recorded - a similar situation happened with "lost" tracks from fellow Eurobeat label Asia - but it'd be nice to get confirmation, and to maybe see those last songs released to the public.
So, who can we ask about these? There are some options, but I'm unsure about all of them; maybe there's somewhere I'm not looking that you guys can think of?
1) The contact page on their official site. Unfortunately, it sucks. One line for the message? Are you kidding? I may try it out anyway if I can figure out a succinct way of asking. www.livemusicstudio.com/formmail/
2) The official Facebook for Hi-NRG Attack. I can't find a button to message it, but I'm also kind of stupid when it comes to Facebook. www.facebook.com/HiNrgAttack/
3) I also found the personal Facebook for F. Malvicino, an employee of Hi-NRG Attack; though I think he's new to the label, so I'm not sure what he'd know about older songs. Might be worth a try anyway, though. I'm considering contacting him if option 1 goes cold. www.facebook.com/taigher.wuds?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE
I know it's a niche interest, but maybe someone else has other ideas? Thank you so much!
