Music Presentation:
This is the fourth CD soundtrack release by Gainax for the popular Neon Genesis Evangelion series. I wonder how many "Fly Me To The Moon" version they are. Now, there are 3 more on this CD. Though, there is something special about them, it's the Japanese voice actress of Misato, Asuka & Rei who are singing them. Track 02 is sung by Asuka, Track 03 by Misato & Track 09, it's all 3 of them. Even Track 01, the main theme, "Zankoku Na Tenshi No These" is sung by them. Cool, huh?
Track 02 is really special, most of the entire original cast of Evangelion is in there. Though, if you do understand Japanese, you might make out the story. To what I can make out, it's just a parody. There even one part where even the background music & sound effects are made by the voice actors & actress. That's funny!
Track 06, 07 & 08 are chorus. You should recognized those songs during the series. Track 06 is from the episode where Asuka was attacked by an Angel with a beam of light, Track 07 is when Shinji chases Kaoru int Central Dogma & Track 08 is when Rei get the Lance Of Longuiness & shot it at an Angel to save Asuka. Track 08 is a bonus track. Guess where is it from? Remember there is a wedding party where Misato have to go? There are girls singing a song. This is the song, at it's full version. The last 3 tracks are just trailers of the "Death & Rebirth" movie.
Audio 2.0:
I find no problem listening to the music. The tracks are well separated.
Packaging:
I find that the CD cover is my absolute favorite of all the Neon Genesis Evangelion CD ever release. The 4 EVA pilots in their pose, with Evangelion Unit 01 "berserk mode" in the background, with Kaoru, too. All this in Manga-style artwork! Very colorful! On the back, it is just a blue clip of the ending theme of the series, where you see Rei spinning upside down with the moon in the background.
Overall CD Rating:
I only got this CD because I'm a huge fan of the series. Now, I love this CD & it is well worth it out to actually find an original copy.
