This is a great CD with all of the music featured in the movie but not available on the other 3 commercially available soundtracks. The most notable of which is the song "Wanna Be An Angel" (Track 9) that was sung by Sharon Apple as she flew threw Macross City on the giant bird-thing. It also contains the new music backing Isamu and Guld's final fight (Track 12). Also included is a cello vesion of voices (Track 8) heard during Guld's final moments in his fight with the Ghost and an independant track of the Torch Song. Below is the track list with references as to where you can find some of the songs on the other soundtracks.

This is one of the most extraordinary soundtracks I have ever heard. Macross Plus is one of my favorite anime series, and it's soundtrack is definetly one of my favorite CDs. This is a must buy, for any fan of Macross!

I approach anime music with objective scpeticism, so with that in mind: This is one of the best CDs I've ever bought containing some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. This soundtrack is GORGEOUS especially "Myung's theme", and the vocal rendition "Voices." The Macross anthem is an inspiring work similar to a John Williams style movie them (i.e. Raiders, Star Wars). The melange of orchestral mastery of the Israeli Philharmonic and perfectly integrated electronic sounds that fit the movie. If you loved the Anime, like I did, the soundtrack is a must have. Its excellent.

Where to begin... This Album is absolutely gorgeous. It is eerything it should be and more. If you love any and all types of music... this one's for you!!! (I own it and love it.)

The CD is the closes thing you can get to buying the movie. From the saga to Macross 2, it has been about music. Macross Plus is not an acception but more like a new level of life because life is music. So I rank it best and anything else an't a anime sountrack

I think this album has real future music. Because Animation music is not wholly commercial music. It is certain that Yoko Kanno is genious.

"Macross Plus" is my favourite movie, and the OST fits it perfectly. After purchasing it I quickly located and purchased the OST's for "The Vision of Escaflowne" and the other "Macross Plus" albums based purely on the fact that they were by Yoko Kanno. Most of it's performed by members of the Israel Symphonic Orchestra, and it's a mixture of classical style and techno music. Ohh, it's just great. Unfortunately, I'm not much on elaboration...

Almost all the songs on the soundtrack are great, but please be aware of the playlist difference of some of the reviews here, and what is actually on the cd. If you are looking for particular songs you may purchase the wrong cd if you go off the review.

I loved the 4 episodes, hated the movie though, Loved the soundtrack. The instrumental pieces just seem to raise your conciousness and relax you. Superb tunes by "Sharon Apple" which totally rock, and five stars to the Israeli orchestra. Best anime soundtrack I have ever heard and the best Macross series I have ever seen.

If you loved Maccross Plus the movie of the four part OVA you will love all of this orignal music from the Movie thats on the Cd all though the music is in Japenese I can Listen to it all night. The music is great and when I found the Cd On Amazon.com I was amazed. I find the Cd to be great and If you love anime as much as I do then I recommend this CD.
