CD Reviews
Great Music that will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!!

"Have been waiting about 5 years for J.G. Thirwell's high octane music for VENTURE BROS. to be ripped from the visuals of the show, so this a more than welcomed release. However, I had no idea that the item above was an LP release, as it is indicted in the albums Amazon description as a "Disc." Fortunately, a CD version of the score can be found on [Adult Swim]'s website, under "Music." Or go here - http://www.adultswim.com/music/venturebrosalbum/index.html Also, be aware that the CD version features 20 tracks, while the vinyl LP release is limited to only 16 tracks.
Hope this helps!"
Amazing

"Mr. Thirlwell is a genius of modern music. He combines notes and chords in ways a normal person would never think of, to create a chaotic twist on "spy show" jazz, giving the music that wonderful Venture Brothers feel of madness. The orchestra samples are full of depth and masterfully used."
Seriously good music.

"Don't let the fact that this is a soundtrack from an animated television series fool you, JG Thirlwell has obviously put a great deal of investment in this project. His work with the Kronos Quartet is fantastic and this is an unmistakable outreach from those efforts.
One of the more frustrating component s of writing commercial music is the limitation on length but with the exception of the few tracks under :60, Thirlwell provides well developed themes that have direction and motion. If you're a fan of the Venture Brothers, this album should more than satisfy a long empty hole in your heart and if you've never heard of the series before, you'll simply enjoy the music.
Hopefully, this album is the first of several more to come along with many more wonderful seasons of Venture Brothers fun!"
Fantastic music, dangerous to drive to!

"This music is explosive, fun and just plain amazing! I listen to it in my car all of the time, and its difficult to not speed to because it just puts you in a great mood. It makes you feel like a spy! I highly recommend this to anyone!"
