Cowboy Bebop - Various

great album

I bought this album for the track Tank! and that alone was worth the money for me. I would say if you like jazz and blues you would like this album even if you know nothing about coyboy bebop.

Pleasing Surprise

When watching the series, my favorite episodes were Jupiter Jazz Parts 1 & 2. I really liked the story and fell in love with the music. So I hunted down the OST and "Space Lion", the song of smooth blues and native American sounds.

Thankfully I really like the rest of the CD too. Cat Blues, Egg and I, and Rain are probably my other favorites.

fantastic music

If you like lively jazz, you'll like this. But you'll like it most if you've seen the show.

Nearly Perfect Disc

Cowboy Bebop O.S.T. 1 is a fantastic mix of a variety of genres: Jazz, blues, country western, industrial, electronica, lullaby, noir, and others. Of all the original soundtracks to this great anime, I rank this one the best, because it has more of a space cowboy feel to it. The other soundtracks are good as well, but they lack the cohesive, open frontier exploration of this disc.

The only track I cannot listen to is "Rain." I do not understand its inclusion, as the music is lame, the lyrics are horrid, and the singer is cheesy. Do not let this one flaw dissuade you from a great disc.

Once you play this album you will never forget it.

Ok well actually some people obviously may hate this CD. Only those who hate jazz type music. Each song of this album is amazing. The strange thing is every song is more amazing than the last and each time you hear them they get better so prepare for the greatness. The songs on this album are

1. Tank!
2. Rush
3. Spokey Dokey
4. Bad Dog No Biscuit - Seatbelts
5. Cat Blues
6. Cosmos
7. Space Lion
8. Waltz for Zizi
9. Piano Black
10. Pot City
11. Too Good Too Bad
12. Car24
13. Egg and I
14. Felt Tip Pen
15. Rain - Steve Conte,
16. Digging My Potato
17. Memory

they all have such an amazing beat that remind me of older 50s type music. You will be laying back listening to this hearing nothing else that is going on or you will be dancing to it. All depends on the time of day and how your feeling. I honestly rank this as one of my all time favorite cds. I know it is on the pricey side so I went to the buy new/used section and got it from [...]. They send fast and everything arrives in great condition. If you would like to sample the seabelts cds try this site out [...] it lets you play about 20 seconds of each song from each Seabelts cd.
