Free Music Notes for Samurai Champloo Original Soundtrack
Free Music Review: simply amazing.
Hit: 5 Stars
I love the anime and love the hip-hop instrumentals sprinkled across the various episodes and was compelled to pick up the soundtrack. I hardly thought I would enjoy it quite as much as I did, though.
See, intrumental hip-hop is a genre that's deserved much more attention and has been underrated for a long time now-everyone who has ever said to themselves "I'd really enjoy rap if it weren't for the rapper," or "that hip-hop song has a catchy beat but I can't get past the lyrics," would enjoy it; and this soundtrack, for the most part, fits right in there.
The tracks are hardly repetitive or boring, in fact I think they're lively and introspective, starting off with "Battlecry" (the title track from the show) offering you a bit of flavor to the soothing lyrics in "You," to the soulful but progressive beats in "Ole," "Vagrancy." The entire album has American instrumental hip-hop artist Fat Jon's impressions all over it, himself having created a great deal of the music American fans of Samurai Champloo on Cartoon Network may have heard during Adult Swim's black-card bumps in between commercial breaks. That's right, some of those smooth, jazzy (yet a little funky) beats? That's Fat Jon.
Seriously-he has a few of his own albums available (even right here at Amazon) and the Samurai Champloo soundtrack, although it's obviously a collaborative project, fits in exceptionally well with his own discography. So if you like this, check out the rest of his stuff, but don't leave this soundtrack behind. Calling it hip-hop isn't quite right, but it's definitely got a hip-hop flavor and jazzy, funky lines that will please anyone who appreciates complexity but catchiness from their beats. Electronica fans and Hip-hop fans will appreciate the grooves, and the head-nodding beats will allure music fans from all genres. Definitely a worthwhile buy.
