Overall rating: Very good. The Evangelion songs made the difference,
that's for sure! Escaflowne songs were also an added plus!
Track/title/anime Comments
1. Tamashii no Rufuran/ Evangelion Death and Rebirth | An excellent Yohko Takahashi song. This is the theme for Evangelion Death and Rebirth and rightfully so. It has some of the classical choral music in the interludes with a very upbeat make-up. The bass likes to jump around in the chorus which is a stron contrast to its monotony in the verses....^^ |
2. kokoro yo___/ Evangelion Death and Rebirth | The ssecond theme for D and R. Yet another Yohko Takahashi. It almost sounds like whale calls at certain points made by some horn instrument^^. But, it's a good song although the chorus is kind of annoying. |
3. Zankoku na Tenshi no Teeze (Director's Edit Version)/ Evangelion | This is sung by Megumi Hayashibara (Rei), Yuko Miyamura (Asuka), and Kotono Mitsuishi (Misato) and therefore makes it a very interesting find! They sing in parts, then join in the main chorus. |
4. Fly me to the Moon (Main Version 2)/ Evangelion | Again, sung in three parts and all Seiyuu pull off a beautiful harmony of which I have yet to master the alto part for... (soprano and sec. sop covered!^^). They talk in whispers during the interlude. |
5. Must Be Something/ ?? | Sung by Hitomi Konno in English. A slow yet pleasant song. |
6. __ wa irainai/ Vision of Escaflowne | OP theme. Not exactly my favorite, but tolerable -- and those bagpipes in the interlude will amuse me 'till the end!! ^__^ |
7. Pocket wo _ ni shite/ Vision of Escaflowne | A relaxing listen and a decent song. |
8. MYSTIC EYES/ Vision of Escaflowne | Sung by Seki Tomokazu (Van Fanel). I enjoyed this song a lot.. even though my mother started dancing disco to it once...^^ Fast and difficult to sing if you're female^^ (goes to my bottom limit there...^_~) |
9. ??/ Fushigi Yuugi OAV | OP theme. It always seems to me, I like the ending themes for Fushigi Yuugi a LOT more than the opening ones. This is just the same... slow and boring to me. |
10. ??/ Fushigi Yuugi OAV | ED theme. As just mentioned, a better beat, a better singer, a more interesting melody. Just a better song! |
11. Kaze no Naka de__ ite/ Gundam 08MS OAV | Mmmm... catchy tune, mediochre music... |
12. 10 Years After/ Gundam 08MS OAV | The first few words make me think of alfalfa. An okay, tolerable song. Nothing really special. |
13. _ dearu tameni/ You're Under Arrest TV | Annoying male singer. Not that great a song. |
14. Thank you, Love/ You're Under Arrest TV | A slow, classical guitar-ish song with bongo drums. Makes me think of 'remembering something' or remiscing. |
15. Ai no kimochi/ Tamagochi | Somehow this kind of happy, cute song makes me feel ill... |
16. Daikiku Naritai/ Tamagochi | For some reason I always think of dish washing when I 'm listening to this. Perhaps it's the twanging sounds.... |
17. EVA D & R (Misato's monologue) | The following are pretty self- explanitory and short enjoyable peices. |
18. EAV D & R (Rei's monologue) | |
19. EVA D & R (Asuka's monologue) |
