This CD of 20 songs, tells the whole story of Last Exile, in a format that doesn't ruin it for any person. It dramatically brings back moements from the show to allow you to experience the story in a very expressive mode of comunication. There are certain songs that do not fit, but are still apart of the show and needed to be included, just not nessicarilly on this CD. Overall, the CD is worth the time and money spent towards it!

After listening to this album, I'm a Dolce Triade fan! I must however admit that the first album eclipses the second, so if you're on a tight budget, stick with the first album.

Last Exile personally has broken a barrier in music that is insurpassable. It's amazing ability to be intimidation thought provoking and higly energetic is why this CD is so sought after by me.

Like Cowboy Bebop the music in this is always great and never a dull moment. Although the genres differ immensily they both are truly a great ride to hold on to.

Last Exile is especially unique because of the threatening and scary music. Not really scary as in horror but as in full on military advamce and war themes.

There is also a great tone that is used alot in the more relaxed pieces. This reminds me more of Gypsy Caravan and the fiddle and pipe themes. These complement the army music in such a grand way that it becomes an artfrom. Alomst a poetic device because it's singalling the hope for peace in this grand battle field of music.

As a reader you may not truly understand what I am saying to appeal to this album. My critique is unique because this album is and there is no better way to say it then the complicated way that reflects the album.

I waited over a year to get this album and am screaming because it took me so long.

If 5 were perfect this would get 97 stars.

The true spirit of this album is captured in "Road to the light, heavy cocoon, a stimulant, beautiful fields, coronation, lost friend, Dreams of Fathers, Last Exile, and Over the sky(angel feather version). Besides that still the whole cd is awesome. It truly captures the feelings of an adventure in the sky in such majesty, depth, and beauty. What actually got me into the whole Last Exile series was one night a saw a glimpse of one of the episodes. but I was very tired so I fell asleep. The next day I was searching for free music on line to listen to and I came across some of the music to Last Exile. TO be exact it was the song: "Road to the light." When I saw it listed I was like: "Hey, isnt that that one show that is on tech tv?" And so I listened to it and I was blown away. After that I was hooked and at the time the show would come on at 2:00 and so up I stayed watching it. And years later I would come to own the whole series and its soundtracks. Anyways, there isnt too much more to say to appraise this cd. Its just so amazing, especially "dreams of fathers." It is one of those songs that can take you higher and higher in the skies. Literally that's the feelings I felt when I first heard it. The vocal tracks are really good, especially "head in the clouds." They have an interesting airiness about them. One reviewer said that the first ost eclipses this one. I respectfully disagree, both cd's capture each side of the Last Exile series. The first ost captures the more serious tone of the series while the second ost captures the majesty and beauty of the skies and adventures.
