I have to admit the first time I listened to this soundtrack, my first thought was "WTF?!". If you are hoping to buy a CD with 'Duvet' on it, I recommend you buy the Duvet single CD- because this one certainly does not have it. What it does have is an interesting if not strange collection of rock, jazz and techno songs. They range from the supremely depressing (Misty Strange Dimension) to the upbeat and toe-tapping (Like a Lizard). Also, there is only one song on the entire CD that has an actual human voice on it- Track 10 and even that is in Japanese. While I would not suggest you buy this CD without previewing it first, it is definately worth a listen.

Reccomended mostly for fans of the series. The songs aren't that exceptional in and of themselves, really - but I still give it a 4 because you don't (or at least, I don't) normally buy soundtracks for their own sakes anyway. If you liked the series though, you'll like the soundtrack.

Actually, for just quality of sound, the Cyberia Mix is much nicer.

And also, if you don't want to buy the Duvet single CD, the original and Cyberia versions are both available free on BOA's website.

I am a big fan of the show, and hoped to hear more of the electronic soundscapes from the show, however, this album is filled with 3 to 5 minute songs without words.
