[Grooving to Classic Albums] Eurobeat Around the World: Recommended Popular Tracks (91–100)
Give Me A Shake (Euro Power Mix)MAX
The powerful vocals of these four go amazingly well with Eurobeat.
MAX’s songs are all easy to sing and irresistibly catchy without getting old, so even when they’re arranged into Eurobeat, you can still enjoy them as pop music.
Back then, they were on every music show, showing off their sharp dance moves.
Better Off AloneAlice DeeJay
A track released in 1998 by Alice Deejay, a Dutch pop-trance project.
It became a hit around the world and was certified Platinum in the UK.
It was inspired by Eurythmics’ 1983 track “Here Comes the Rain Again.”

A track released in 1992 by Dr.
Alban, a Nigerian-Swedish artist.
It reached No.

This Is Para Para (Extended Mix)Live Music Gang
The title is amusing! Something like “This is Para Para,” right? SUPER EUROBEAT, released by Avex, is a compilation album series featuring Eurobeat produced in Italy, and this track was included as well.
The jacket is great too; the series uses the term “Vintage Para Para,” which I find very interesting.
As you’d expect from Para Para, the songs are easy to dance to.
It was produced by Live Music Gang, who specialize in Eurobeat.
Livin on VideoTrans-X
It’s an early Eurobeat track, but when you listen to it, it feels more techno than Eurobeat.
It carries an atmosphere that hints at the dawn of the Eurobeat movement that would soon become huge, and you can sense the creator’s determination to stay ahead of the times.
