Hit: 4 Stars
Susumu Hirasawa's creations do well to transmit the mood of the animations they accompany. These tracks combine distressed vocals, traditional instrumentation, and a heavy dose of electronics. Some might describe the electronic element as sounding dated, routed in techniques from earlier synthesizer experimentations. I believe this is actually a facet of the musician's style, though your opinion may vary. Compared to Hirasawa's other work, Paranoia Agent exceeds Paprika in its melodic variety. Paranoia is certainly not meant to be beautiful like Sususmu Hirasawa's Millenium Actress soundtrack - a rare and coveted piece of you don't mind importing or purchasing it from an Anime vendor - but there are moments of soaring vocals such as the ones found in the opening track, Dream Island Obsessional Park. Overall the album is very good. You might find yourself going back again and again to some tracks, they are infectious. Other spots on the album are simply mood works; they served they're purpose in the show, adding to the tension of a scene.
Paranoia Agent Poster
A viewing of the exceptionally thought-provoking series, 'Paranoia Agent' will beg the disturbing question, "Is 'Lil' Slugger' in you?" If not, then perhaps it'll be the stream of dark instrumental music from the "Paranoia Agent Original Soundtrack" that will sink into your subconscious. Composer Susumu Hirasawa takes listeners on a schizophrenic journey to unbelievably simple, yet beautifully strange compositions, relentlessly shifting with the hum of electronic whirring, breathless beats and infectious chanting spliced in. From the opening vocal song, "Dream Island Obsessional Park" to the eerie ending, "White Hill - Maromi's Theme," nothing on this 19-track CD is ordinary music. The soundtrack from "Paranoia Agent," the critically acclaimed TV thriller available on DVD from Geneon Entertainment, features music composed by Susumu Hirasawa (Berzerk, Millenium Actress, Detonator Orgun) a full-color insert booklet with song lyrics and composer profile translated in English, as well as romanized lyrics.Soundtracks Music CDs
