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. I have yet to see this series, but the music isn't so bad. It's all vocal songs & completely in English, there isn't any background music on this CD, except for one, I think. Track 03 seem to be music only. Most of them are cool, but it depends what kind of music you like to listen. It's like the 1960s style music.

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

Packaging:
Since this Anime CD is a domestic release, it got almost the same as the original Japanese packaging, except with a few English adaptation changes. In front, you get the two main secret Agent of the series drinking. They even have a little description what it's all about. In the back, it's a group short of the characters. The insert only have one picture of the two same Agent, as well their car. The rest is fill all the lyrics for all the songs on the CD, as well the credits. The CD case is a clear one, you can see a speed dial of a car, as well a smoking sign? The CD disc itself have a picture of London, I think. I'm not sure. It's faded in a while background.

Overall CD Rating:
If you like the series or enjoy 1960s style music, this CD might be good for you to listen. It's noy my taste in music, but I did enjoy it. Not only that, you will support Geneon Anime Music on releasing more Anime CDs in the near future.

Music Presentation: It's 1960s style music.
Audio 2.0: No problem detected!
Packaging: Simple, but the cover image looks flat.
Overall CD Rating: It was ok!
