Cowboy Bebop Rocks! November 3, 2008
This is the soundtrack for the Japanese anime "Cowboy Bebop." Even if you have never seen that worthy series, that is still no reason not to listen to the music created for the show. Yoko Kanno is a sophisticated and inventive composer; crossing many musical styles and excelling in each. The band is known as "The Seatbelts" and they do a wonderful job on every piece, from the serious to the silly. Check it out, you won't be sorry :)
great album May 12, 2008
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.

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 April 14, 2007
If you like lively jazz, you'll like this. But you'll like it most if you've seen the show.
Nearly Perfect Disc November 29, 2006

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.
