Music Presentation:
Special thanks to Geneon Anime Music for sending a copy for a review for this site. This is one of many Anime CDs that are domestic release. Well, there isn't much to say about this CD. It's mostly a mix of dance music base or remix songs from Lain. Some are cool, others are not. There isn't many tracks, but the songs last about over 5 minutes.

Audio 2.0:
I find no problem listening to the music. The tracks are well separated.

Packaging:
The package looks like the original Japanese release. You get to see the main character on the cover, playing a DJ. In the back, is that a bear? The only thing I didn't like there is all the track listening are in a circle around that bear, it's hard to read when place like that. There isn't much on the insert, just credits & the list of the tracks. The CD case is a clear one, so you get to see a background behind the CD itself, bugs anyone? The CD disc itself, just plain & very simple blue design.

Overall CD Rating:
Well, I don't know what to say. This CD might be good if you're doing a dance party of it's the type of music you usually listen to. I didn't like it much.

Music Presentation: Some music are good, others aren't.
Audio 2.0: No problem detected!
Packaging: The CD design should be better.
Overall CD Rating: It's perfect for a dance party!
