Very interesting

"The soundtrack of the "first true anime of the 21st century" certainly is an interesting one. The style, like the show is very experimental and varried in style.About half of the tracks are instrumental background music, while the others are vocal songs played throughout the series. Most of the tracks here are performed by the band "The Pillows" yet each one has a very unique sound to it. Among the best of these is "Ride On Shooting Star", #2, and "One Life", #10.My favorites, though, are the tracks composed by Shinkichi Mitsumune, from the beautiful, slow "Rever's Edge", to the almost energizing "Pain", and the very Yoko Kanno-sounding tunes "Selfish", and "Pink."Being fairly cheap in terms of import CDs, and featuring some very good tracks, the FLCL original soundtrack is definitely worth checking out."
