4.0 out of 5 stars This is Radio Free Mars..., January 18, 2001

I'm not a big fan of remix albums. They're usually just full of corrupted versions of songs that aren't even close to being as good as the originals. With a series like Cowboy Bebop, you'd think it would have to be a sin to try to retouch even a note of the original music. Ah, but this is different. This is Radio Free Mars; an underground radio station dedicated to bringing you the best music the law won't allow. These are very cool remixes of some of the most familiar tunes from the Bebop series, put together by a few of Asia's best DJs and techno groups. They bring the series' music into a whole new light and sprinkle it with a hint of ultra-modern. Some of the tracks may not be recognizable without peeking at the back of the jewel case, but that's a small detractor. It's a smart techno-style collection that will appeal to techno and house fans and anime fans alike. It's made even more unique by the commentary of Radio Free Mars' own DJ between each track, and in a few places it's pretty humorous. A welcome addition to the Cowboy Bebop library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Smooth and cool, like the anime series!, September 13, 2002

This review is from: Cowboy Bebop Remixes: Music for Freelance (Audio CD)

This CD is hi-tech and sharp and jazzy. It reflects the genre of the Cowboy Bebop anime series, and all but one part of the first song (where we hear the opening theme song) are all original material. The dj (who speaks between songs) is odd, but kind of funny -- talking about old bands from the 2040s and cracks about Jabba the Hutt. If you enjoy smooth and tasteful lounge, as well as some danceable trance/ambient tunes this is probably an excellent buy for you. You might want to check your anime shop, before plunking down 30 bucks for it, but it will still be cash well spent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice set of remixes, January 14, 2004

Music for Freelance is a great collection of mixes. Fila Brazilia turns "Forever Broke" from a cowboy blues tune, to a mix more urban-techno baseline. Ian O'Brien's mix "Piano Black" also does the same, turning a high tension track to something with more soul and jazzy beat.

If you are looking for more the "Big Band" sound similar to Kanno's "Tank!." This is not probably not the album for you.

I recommend this to people who haven't even seen Cowboy Bebop and enjoy beats from say a DJ Food in style.
