This sounds like it was made in about a week on a shoestring budget. What is it? Well, it's a slaughtered version of the *real* Akira soundtrack with dialogue and sound effects from the movie woven in. A hardcore fan of the movie might like this, but I certainly didn't. True, there are some goodparts, but not many... Tetsuo's laugh, for instance, has to be one of the most chilling sounds on record, and there's some odd interweaving of different tracks from the *real* soundtrack that might've been promising given a little more time. This one was a real disappointment to me, considering how great the *real* soundtrack was. Save your money and instead try to find some Geinoh Yamashirogumi CDs that you can get imported from Japan. I'd reccommend Ecophony Rinne and Ecophony Gaia in a heartbeat; good luck finding them, though.

I am so dissapointed in this sound track. Akira is my favoret anime, and I've always loved the music from it, but this item was a complete waste of time and money. This version of the akira sound track is simply a digital recording of the origional movie's audio, complete with Japanies dialog, and sound effects. If you want the sound track to this movie, look around, and find the one that actually has more than 4 tracks on it. I think that one may be just the music, but I don't know for sure.

I bought this and like it but the tracks are not completly music, there is alot of the jappenese script, I would buy the other one if i could.

If you enjoy ambient style techno this is a good disk for anyone to get. The instrumental mixes are mind bending in ways well done pieces that fit together.

An erie assortment of sounds. Drum beats coupled with sound clips. As haunting as the movie that inspired it.

if u people liked the movie then u will like the music. if u haven't seen the movie then u will still like the music. it is the best soundtrack i have ever heard in my life. if u r a anime fan big or not u will love this album and treasure it with ur life like i do hehe well buy it and i will give u my word that u will not be disappointed.
