Wow. This soundtrack is absolutely fantastic. I bought this CD about a year ago at the local Suncoast, and I was immediately hooked. I mean, I have several anime soundtracks, from Blue Seed to Ah! Megami-sama, and even Fushigi Yugi. But, I have to say, this is one of the few CDs that I can listen to all the way through, and still be satisfied. The songs are magnificent. From French to Japanese, and even English, the vocal songs are mellow and harmonic. They are quite beautiful. Even the songs without words, which I usually skip when it comes to anime soundtracks, are amazing. They combine music from practically every race and culture. African, American, Chinese, Japanese, it's all here! Even classical and modern are combined. So, basically, I would definately recommend this CD to anyone who does not want to just waste their money on a CD with one or two good songs. If I had to sum up this CD in one word, it would definately be "masterpiece". So buy this CD! ^-^

I'm a major fan of Yoko Kanno, and although this is one of her earlier works, Macross Plus OST 2 is one of her very best ever. For the complete Kanno newbie, there's the joy in discovering all the various styles of music on this CD, and let me say that there are as many styles as there are tracks. For more experienced Kanno fans, it's worth buying this to see some very early examples of themes and styles that she used later (for example, some of the songs wouldn't sound out of place in Cowboy Bebop). There are no tracks that aren't wonderful on this CD. If you want a CD unlike anything else on the market at a highly reasonable price, get Macross Plus OST 2. You don't even have to have seen Macross Plus to like this; I haven't seen it and this is still one of my favorite CDs ever.

While the Macross Plus movies themselves are amazing, the soundtrack is what really got me hooked! I found myself singing the songs days after I had watched the movies. It's blend of seductive techno, ethnic chanting and all around beat amazed me from the beginning. This is definately one of the best Anime soundtracks out there!

One of the best anime soundtracks Ive ever listend to.A great mix of most of the music from the movie. Even if you havent seen the movie and you like anime music you love this cd. Definatly a must buy for any true anime collectors shelf.

What? Someone gave this CD 4 stars?!?! I'd love to hear a CD they gave 5 stars to. This recording shows Yoko demonstrating complete mastery over at least 6 styles of music and inventing at least 4 more. She is perfectly creative, not pushing the envelope too far a la Yuka Honda ). "Pulse" is worth the price alone -- a slow, synth-mix, with enchanting vocals and a spoken poem...

Sharon Apple is currently my favorite singer. She maybe a little crazy but she's really great. I must for Macross Plus fans.

I thought that this cd was the best out of the two orginal soundtracks.Its got lots of remix's and great music from the movie.I would have given it a better score if it had a certain song from the movie ,but none of the oringinals had them.If u like Macross plus the movie, get the soundtracks!

This has to be one of the best soundtrack's out there to dance to. The music is in way suductive. Wonderful music. Idol talk and Voice's have to be the two best tracks on the cd.

Kanno hasn't disappointed me yet. There is no song on here that I don't love! This cd has everything from crazy chanting to a sort of "metallic dreamscape" sort of sound. The whistling in Jade was a funky little surprise. Nomad soul makes me want to learn saxophone just so I can play it, and I hate saxes! The acoustic version of VOICES is so sweet and sad I sometimes get depressed. #11 Sweet feather freaks me out, it allways makes me think someone is watching me, yet I still love it. The chanting in A sai en also really grows on you. This cd will hook you and you'll never get away! Best of all you can play Bad Dog really loud for your friends and they'll get freaked out(and say your psycho), but then they'll ask to borrow the cd.

BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT and while you're at it BUY THE FIRST ONE TOO!!!! I swear you won't be dissappointed.

Macross Plus...Top Gun with a great twist. And the only way to treat the movie right is to give it a wonderful soundtrack. It's here. Macross Plus Soundtrack II is one of my all time favorite CD's. Just try it. If you liked the Anime, you'll want this disc.
