Let's see. Some Bach, a bit of Mozart, a few violins, and some unique Eva music. Nice CD that grows on you. Sad, too if you have seen the show of the movie.

This soundtrack is in my opinion the best of all the Eva soundtracks.

I really love the several classical musical scores of Bach, DVORAK and Pachelbel which include: Gavotte in Rondo, Vorspier, and Kanon(two 5 minute versions).

The last track, Dies Irae, is a lengthy opera track(almost 40 mins), I don't believe it is in the series or the movies.

Shiro Sagisu's original tracks are also very well done. Again, these are classical tracks. The total cd time is close to 70 minutes.

I also highly recommend getting the End of Evangelion soundtrack and the Evangelion: Addition soundtrack.

Addition has a 20 minute Ode to Joy track, and a 20 minute vocal track that consists of the Japanese cast of Eva(I can't understand it, but it is very funny. think they may be acting out an episode or something). It also has about 11 other tracks. You can get this and almost every other anime soundtrack, Eva or not, for some very cheap prices at: gkworld.zoovy.com

All of these cds are great for both classical music lovers and Eva enthusiasts.

Quite possibly one of the most beautiful anime of for that matter, one of the most beautiful music collections of all time. From songs included in the Evangelion shows and movies, to new crafts this is a great deal. Most songs are instrumental only, however the few that do have vocals are in a great opera-like setting. This is a must have for any fan of the show or of clasical music.

just about the best non-canon music eva has
buy this, good to play at parties or on itunes
and shinji's piece is amazing

I read the NGE graphic novels (okay, okay, I'll admit, COMIC BOOKS) and loved them. Honestly, I've never seen the anime. But when I saw this soundtrack my intrest was piqued; I've learned that Japanese anime often have very good soundtracks, and this was no exception.

For a show that to my knowledge has a good deal of both action and cerebral plotline, this is a collection of brief (many no longer than 30 or 45 seconds) string melodies that are nigh impossible to describe. My favorite tracks are 8 and the two Kanon D-Dur tracks (unfortunately most of the track listing is in Japanese, so I can't actually give a name). Death also comes with a very nice set of liner notes (y'know, the little booklets in the CD case?) that includes obnoxiously large kanji and many many pictures from the anime which are enjoyable no matter what language you speak.

Death's sounds are contemplative yet not slow-paced, a meditative sort of quality that I believe can be enjoyed by all. I can describe the feel of this CD as nothing short of stunning, and a most worthwhile use of money.
