great little collection.......2006-01-04

I can't say enough about Yoko Kanno - she and the seatbelts are so versatile and amazingly talented, their lyrics don't disappoint, and the singers chosen are spot-on perfect. This is the bonus second CD with Future Blues for the Cowboy Bebop movie.

1. What planet is this - an upbeat big band song, not my favorite but very reminiscent of cowboy bebop in general so it definitely serves its purpose.

2. Ask DNA - a mellow, chill song. Laid-back with a nice little beat and hook.

3. Cosmic Dare (Pretty with a Pistol) - a very memorable song from the movie. Really fun, and incredibly catchy.

4. Hamduche - interesting contrast after Cosmic Dare. Quiet with just piano and vocals. Has a middle-eastern sound and the piano adds a nice dimension to it.

5. Is it real? - my favorite, and actually my current favorite song, period. Melancholy with beautiful vocals and a sensitively played piano that emphasizes the sadness of the lyrics, and such a great melody. Everything in it works to perfection.

I love the way the songs offset each other... Like the other CB soundtracks, it feels like a mix tape of your favorite songs (which reminds me again of how amazing Kanno is!). And the songs here are some of my favorites of all the other CB songs - there's something here for every taste.

GREAT CD.... only good for one song though.......2004-11-18

Good CD! only good for one song, the rest are somewhat out-there...relatives in japan bought CD and mailed over, for title song "Pretty with a Pistol" (the song reminded them of me) was told seatbelts ia a popular band in Japan...didn't know it was related to a Animated Japanese Cartoon. Some what worth the money

FANTASTIC CD.......2002-11-22

I think this is an AMAZING CD. Each song is an image-song for the characters in the movie. Track #1 is VERY popular in Japan, and one can see why: It's very upbeat and catchy ! Track #2, the opening song to the movie is like one of those songs that get stuck in your head, and is pretty upbeat. Track #3 is the song played, when Faye is flying over Mars, looking for the bounty-head, in Redtail. Track #4 is Mid-Eastern/Moroccantype stuff. It's good in it's own way ! and track #5 is my personal favorite, making good use of the vaccuum tube amplifier. Tim Jensen's melancholic voice adds to the melancholic/depressed feeling of the song. I'd recommend this CD to anyone, BeBop fan or not ! It's got GREAT music!

More Knockin' on Heavens Door music.......2002-08-02

This is a maxi-single for Ask DNA, the opening song of the Cowboy Bebop movie Knockin' on Heavens Door. Despite paying roughly [money] a song (the album runs around [money] depending on where you shop), this is still a must for fans of Yoko Kanno and Seatbelts. Contains the ever rousing "What Planet is This", the title track "Ask DNA", the groovy Faye song "Cosmic Dare (Pretty as a Pistol)", a nice middle-eastern flavored vocal/piano duet "Hamduche", and the moody "Is it real?" Comes packaged in a slimline jewelcase with a glossy foldout insert that lists the lyrics for "Ask DNA", "Cosmic Dare", and "Is it real?" as well as some fun pictures of YK and ken.
