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. This is the entire soundtrack for the third Patlabor movie. There is no theme song or anything, just all intrusmental music. Track 15 is the one I most enjoy, an original music by Beethoven. The CD is perfect just to pop in & have a quiet soft music in the background while doing others things.

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

Packaging:
The package is pretty simple, however, there isn't much design linking to the movie. On the cover, I think it's a lab dish with sample of cells. In the back, I got no idea what it means, just little circles design. The insert have only two images directly from the movie, a message from Kenji Kawai & credits, all this is printed on thick black paper. There even live shots of props. Since the CD cover is a clear one, there is a background image of the genetic code behind the CD. The CD disc cover itself is plain, just like labeling a folder.

Overall CD Rating:
I do suggest to watch the movie first before getting the CD soundtrack. Some of you might find the music boring.

Music Presentation: Enjoyable to listen!
Audio 2.0: No problem detected!
Packaging: Simple, but nothing much to relate it to the movie.
Overall CD Rating: Check out the movie before getting the CD!
