Free Music Notes for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Free Music Review: Exceptional TV Soundtrack.
Hit: 4 Stars
As TV soundtracks go, this one is Exceptional. After getting the Wolf's Rain soundtrack and being disapointed with it, I was worried that this one might fall well short of my expectations. It did not. "Inner Universe" - the track played in the opening credits of the show, and the song I can credit for prompting me to buy the album, is a masterpiece and almost singularly warrants buying this album. The number of vocal tracks on this album are higher than I usually like on a soundtrack, but the songs are good enough and well enough performed that it is easily forgotten. In fact, most of my favorite tracks of this album are vocals. The only flaws I found is that a couple of the instrumentals suffer from repetativeness and the song "Monochrome" is a bit annoying with it's high-pitched beeps.
The style of the music is quite varied, though shows an obvious techno influence in line with the future setting of the series. The variety of music on this album captures the variety of moods that are present in the series. Many of the songs on the album are quite dramatic, a trait which I love and expect in soundtracks. It's a good compliment to the series, or a good (dare I say it?) stand alone album.
Why not 5 stars? Only because I don't believe in giving anything a perfect score unless it too is perfect, just as I don't believe in giving 1 star unless the item is total garbage.
Free Music Review: Great Anime Music
Hit: 4 Stars
I was more impressed with this CD than I thought I would be. Its a very good soundtrack that follows GITS: SAC's first season very well. Yoko Kanno did an excellent job arranging the music on this CD. Some of it is great to get your blood pumping. Some of my favorite songs on the CD include cameo's by Origa.Free Music Review: Exactly as expected
Hit: 4 Stars
If you've watched GitS: SAC, you've already heard all of this music.
If you liked it, it's on this album - pretty simple. My only complaint is the slightly sloppy production quality on the interior printing, and the fact that it's very difficult to read the lyrics.
Free Music Review: strange
Hit: 4 Stars
a strange mix. i've never seen ghost in a shell, but the soundtrack is pretty good. it's all over the place, from rock to electric to opratic. it's good for when you don't know what you want to listen to. i love the last two tracks, i just wish they were longer.Free Music Review: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Hit: 4 Stars
I've gone through this album around 40 times since I've got it, I really like it the music is nothing short of grand, if you're looking for a great sound track this is one you don't want to pass up. If you liked the anime then you'll love the album.
