5.0 out of 5 stars
Space-Tastic!!, January 20, 2001
This review is from: Space Channel V.5 (Audio CD)
The Dreamcast game Space Channel 5 is set to some of the funkiest, kitschest tunes ever made for a video game, and this CD soundtrack makes a fantastic album by itself. It's almost worth buying the album for the retro 60's space chic-style opening theme "Mexican Flyer" alone, but the album also features the music from all four stages, plus all the boss tunes, and the groovy lounge-muzak end theme. Thankfully these are not remixes, but the original productions exactly as heard in the game, sounding as fresh as ever. Obviously, some of the longer dance confrontations have been shortened, and you don't get the frantic squeaking of Morolians, or Ulala's voice shouting out directions (except on a couple of weird bonus tracks - and in Japanese!), but that's hardly a gripe - this music is fab-yu-lous, as the lady herself would say. It has impressed friends of mine who have never heard of the game, and for Ulala fans (like me) it's an essential CD to add to your collection
