The Seatbelts
Cowboy Bebop OST 1
Victor Japan 1998

First, let me tell you that this
is an import CD. If you want
to get a hold of it, amazon or
some other internet retailer is
your only hope. Why would
you go to all the trouble of try-
ing to find a rather expensive
Japanese import?

This CD rocks, plain and sim-
ple. The Seatbelts is the band
of Yoko Kanno, who is a
famous Japanese composer.
She is the brains behind
some of the best anime
soundtracks to come out of

It's got 15 of the years’ hottest tracks from Blink 182, Limp Bizkit, Sum 41,

Japan in recent years. The
amazing classical arrage-
ments of Escaflowne and
Brain Powerd are just some
of her most recent works. The
Cowboy Bebop soundtracks
are on a totally different level
than anything Kanno has
ever done before. Bebop is
an amazing jazz album.

What can | possibly say
about the music? Well the
words incredible, amazing,
gut wrenching come to mind.
The range of emotion that
Kanno can capture in her
music is mind boggling. The
tunes on Bebop range from
unbeat piano Jazz to simple

harmonica tunes, all execut-
ed with skill and talent. Some
tracks are toe tapping big
band Jazz that will have you
dancing while you listen to
them, like the incredibly fun
song, ‘Bad Dog, no Biscuits’.
The true standout tracks on
this CD are the slower num-
bers though. The song
‘Space Lion’ has such a
beautiful yet sad saxophone
line in it that it will almost
bring you to tears to hear it.
If you have an extra $40 dol-
lars to spend on Jazz music
this CD is something you
can’t do without!
