"1. The Real Folk Blues -- Ending theme to "COWBOY BEBOP." An absolutely phenomenally depressing but wonderful song, voiced by Mai Yamane (whose voice has graced such other works of Yoko Kanno's as MACROSS PLUS and Vision of Escaflowne).2. Odd Ones -- A jazzy BGM, very cool. ;)3. Doggy Dog -- A bizarre and hilarious, but also very fun, percussive piece.4. Cats on Mars -- The übercute theme of Ed, this is my own personal anthem! ^_- Voiced by Gabriela Robin, who seems to grace every work Yoko Kanno touches... hmmm...5. Spy -- A chic psuedo-spy BGM. ;)6. Fantaisie Sign -- A rather etherial technoish piece voiced and lyricised in French by Carla Vallet.7. Piano Bar I -- A snazzy bit of piano jazz BGM.8. Black Coffee (Hidden Track) -- A zany jazz piece featuring some interesting voiceovers. ;) "Won't you please have some coffee with me?" "Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno!"All in all, an absolutely excellent addition to any musical library. I highly reccomend all the Cowboy Bebop soundtracks: COWBOY BEBOP (OST I), NO DISC (OST II), Vitaminless (Mini-Album), BLUE (OST III), and Music For Freelance (Remix Album).As I said, I can't get enough of any of the music from Bebop. Yoko Kanno is an absolutely incredible composer and I highly reccomend any work of hers to any fan of music anywhere. ;)~Chiriko (chiriko@catsonmars.com)"

"Although the soundtrack series for "Cowboy Bebop" is nothing short of an awesome listening experience, I have to wonder about this one. It's an EP length album with only six songs, only three of which are exclusive to this CD. You do get the original version of the closing theme ("The Real Folk Blues"), as well as the cute drum-laden clap-along tune, "Doggy Dog", and the short James-Bond-esque "The Spy" by Seat Belts (Yoko Kanno's bebop band), but the other songs are also on the other soundtracks. It's a good listen, but I'd only recommend it if you feel you must own every Cowboy Bebop OST."

Aiesheteta... What Oh the review!

"Being a HUGE:) fan of Cowboy Bebop I had to get this. I absolutely love the Real Folk Blues so that was the main reason. If you like Bebop (GO ED!) I reccomend this and No Disc which has the phenomanally awesome but SPOOKY song Green Bird,the one that's played when spike is falling after being shot by vicious In episode 5"
