Impression

The quality of this disc is one of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to, and the music is even better. Any lounge/hip-hop/jazz lover would thoroughly enjoy this disc. Even if the show wasn’t up to your standards, the music is astounding.

It has one of the longest track list in the Samurai Champloo soundtrack series and includes 8 tracks from the producer of the well known opening ‘Battlecry’, Nujabes.
Heavy percussion and bass is mandatory in each track, along with repeating melody lines, matching with the mood of the show itself. Again, there is no need to like or watch the show to enjoy this soundtrack, because I personally didn’t watch it all that much either. Sites such as ‘YouTube’(r) and ‘Google Video’(r) have the majority of these songs posted. Give them a listen before you buy this soundtrack. It might not be your cup of tea after all.
Good Musicianship. It’s the style, but sometimes, I think it repeats one too many times.
9/10 overall, personally.
