LISTENING: – Wolf’s Rain Original Soundtrack Album, Composed by Yoko Kanno | I’ve been listening to this on-and-off during the last year and pulled it off my hiatus stack in honor of the series’ debut on Cartoon Network. It’s interesting to hear how the music is incorporated into the television show, but I’m missing my [...]

LISTENING: – Songs About Jane, Maroon 5 | It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed an American pop/rock album by a new band this much. The ENTIRE album. Lead singer Adam Levine’s vocal mannerisms on “Harder to Breathe” and “This Love” remind me of Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen. Combined with the fact the rest [...]

LISTENING: – FLCL Original Soundtrack 1: Addict | Geneon Anime Music strikes again, this time with a great package that is pretty much a direct port of the Japanese import version. The highlight is most definitely the OAV’s opening theme, “Ride on Shooting Star” by the Pillows, but there are more great guitar riffs inside, [...]

LISTENING: – His and Her Circumstances, Act 1.0 Original Soundtrack | Full-length versions of both the opening (“An Angel’s Promise”) and closing (“Into a Dream”) are featured, plus jazzy background music. When I watched the series, the music was just another cool part of the overall experience. To my surprise, the entire CD and all [...]
