Mad Machine (English version)

[@missjayalejan]

"Tonight a Hurricane!" was an awesome opening for the first ep. of BGC! I loved that song before I even heard the original Japanese version. Can't find it anywhere on youtube though. Thank goodness someone has an actual link to all the dubbed episodes, so i finally got to hear it again :)

[@ravenyuu]

thanks for uploading it this i have been looking for the English songs on here for ages, I'm glad the company put the effort into dubbing the songs but wish the released a CD with them on

[@HarutoYakumo]

i just recently did a dub of this song but i like the person who sings this better if anyone wants to see it they can. but i dont really care X3 BUbblegum Crisis is my ALL TIME FAV ANIME GOOO BUBBBLEGUM CRISIS Thank you so much for uploading this .

[@TheVGViking]

I wonder why people argue whether the Japanese version of these songs are better than the English versions. The real answer is clear: The English version... Is just as good as the Japanese version, and the two languages are great in their own different ways.

[@pucakuro]

thats the Amurrican way!!!

Facts

[@GundamGetterFan]

ahhhhhhh i can't belive i lost these dvds!!!

[@jesusalfredofernandezcruz1833]

Suffer my friend, suffer in silence.

[@jesusalfredofernandezcruz1833]

Cheers for the dubber's team efforts. The songs are no bad as all.

[@vandalpir9]

Given how long ago these were done and that anime wasn't even a big thing then, I'm pretty impressed.

[@renxo05]

it has a lower qualyti of performance at the instrumental part of this song but the voice is good, in the original version you can delight the instruments along the voice of kinuko

[@DevHawk]

If only this version ever made to CD, I'd love to have it on my Zune.

[@Shrew6751]

Appreciate the efforts to even make an English version of the songs like OtakuD50 said but yeah the original song in the Japanese language sounds better, more pleasant to the ear even if you don't understand the words.

[@brobert27]

Wow! I preffer the japanese mostly, but this one has some crazy lyrics (ok, and I like the drums too): 1:26 Cold angry child wounded and wild Seeking the blood of our rivals You and I ride Raging inside Challenging death for survival 

[@OtakuD50]

I wish I did. I wouldn't mind having isolated mp3s of the English songs, even if they aren't anywhere as good as the originals (especially Konya wa Hurricane and Kodoku no Angel).

[@Ragitsu]

Well said.

[@FishlipsMalone]

the opening of the 2nd episode(japanese version) made i wanna bust my closet open en get a keyboard and leather jacket out!! :)

[@shreknet]

Never heard this version before. I prefer the Japanese version though. It just fit better.

[@tokyo-ru]

wao 16 years later wao . but you know masses dont like good stuf ♥ good song downloading it and re repeat ♪

[@Lauren_Tyler]

I wish I could find an MP3 of the English version of this song

[@OtakuD50]

The DVDs are bilingual, so... they're there even if you don't want 'em. Peronally, I like how they actually went to the trouble of making the English songs. Most of them suck compared to the originals, but they're all pretty close to the song's meanings and aren't bad to listen to.

[@KingCharltonHeston]

Hey do you have the English version of the Hurricane Tonight song?

[@kizunadragon9]

Priss and the replicants FTW

[@strikerk]

Rock Me in English kicks ass too ~ a shame it cuts out at the end.

[@jamecave]

just use a capture utility and record the song and save it as a MP3

[@Phaoray]

definitely prefer this over the japanese version, but to each their own. :)

I learned both versions and while I favor the Japanese the English versions are very good compared to a lot of other titles that came out dubbed at the same time in the early-mid 90's.

[@tak178]

@Tokamaru97 Since that word means absolutely nothing to me...can you clarify?

[@Miyu84]

i prefer the orginal version. the singers have more power inside their voices this version is not so good as the original

[@tak178]

No doubt on that...the people who do these dubs really do want to get as close a possible, but I will take the original version from Oomori-chan any day. ^_^

[@CaptainTripppz]

I mostly prefer the Japanese versions of Priss and the Replicants, but in this case I like the English better. The last couple refrains give me goosebumps...

[@kittenbut1]

Ahh why did I think this song was from Dirty Pair Flash o.o

[@Xantec]

having heard the japanese version, the english version hasnt quite got the umph of the original :( still great song

[@MoriyaMug]

They managed to turn it into Eye of the Tiger.

[@Necroid000]

to be honest, i enjoy both, english and japanese versions....in this case.

[@gungriffen]

You know Its a toss up some songs like this one sounds fine in english, generally the Japanese Vocals sound better, but the music it self seems to have more pop in the english version.

[@LPWatterson]

Thanks for posting this, I hadn't heard it. Unfortunately I can only damn it with faint praise. Like others, I find this interesting but prefer the original. This singer sounds nice enough, and well trained, but while Kinuko Oomori's singing was rougher, her voice killed. The lyrics aren't translated, but are "reversioned", which I hate. Where is "The windstorm enrages the savannah" or "Cool stares are more tender than sympathy"? The baking track doesn't suck , but no guitar solo. The original has one of the best double lead tracks I have ever heard.Lacking the edge of metal that hovered over the Japanese version, this seems a little lackluster.

[@Nicolaus89x]

One advantage to the english version songs is that you can sing along with it without feeling like you are butchering the japanese language, which non-J speakers probably are.

[@k1productions87]

Now if only they would make a version of these that more closely emulate the original music (as in proper instruments, rather than cheap synths). It would make a world of difference, as the voice itself is not that bad, its just the instruments that are poor.

[@spetsnazknife2250]

It is welcomed and rare that a J-anime song is sung in Eng....but the Eng. ver. songs of B.C. sound like Chinese Eng...(*_*)

[@VastFlux]

Actually...watch Blade Runner + Streets of Fire (the Michael Pare' movie)...you'll see everything there.

[@Ragitsu]

When you use vocabulary so obscure you need a second dictionary to discern it's meaning, you've got problems.

[@trueblueclue]

I prefer subbed anime... But its good to watch dubbed shows every so often. Its easier on the ears listening to a language you can understand. That being said please leave this singer's throat alone.

[@KingCharltonHeston]

Honestly, I don't think the dubbed songs are that bad. It's the dubbing of the characters in teh actual episodes that are problematic. Whoever hired Sinda Nichols to do Priss should be flogged.

[@bryguy615]

so, were are our american live BGC movies damn it. At this point, i'd even see them if that ass-hack Michael Bay made them & cast Megan Fox as Priss.

[@sidearmsalpha]

Wow! The Japanese one blows this away. Hearing this makes me cringe.

[@GetBenched2010]

BOOMERS!!!!

[@Makrokosmos]

hm. to be honest i heard a lot worse dub songs and this one actually kinda decent.

[@sang1ist]

The Japanese Version is much better..

[@k1productions87]

well... that goes without saying. lol

[@TheCarrot11]

Well, thats just like, your opinion, man.

[@tak178]

Talk about craptastic. I'm glad I never bought the dubbed version. Oomori-chan did a great job on this track...no need to even make an English version. ^_^

[@MrKnaives]

"most of them suck" I haven't heard one that sucked...

[@hsolanki7971]

The English versions were so much better than the original Japanese varsions. Its a DAMN SHAME they were never released on2 a soundtrack. Some of my faves are Mad Machine, Cool Eyes, Don't Forget, Never the end and Twilight.

[@TheMutator]

ewwwwwwwwwwwww englishhhhhhh

[@chrisdonahue524]

Holy shit where's the Japanese lyrics? Tis English version is cringe AF
