The street action game is back, all souped-up. The music is used as the backdrop to the game's animated 'Manga DImension' polygon-based image. In the game's universe, the music is supposed to be coming from pirate radio broadcasting. No wonder this stylish music doesn't sound at all like a game soundtrack. Includes booklet. 2002.

"The import soundtrack to Jet Set Radio Future is missing tracks that are on the US release of JSRF on the Xbox. Some tracks that are missing are:
"Birthday Cake"
"Latch Brothers Bounce"
"Victory Beat"
"Aisle 10"
and others...While I think that this compilation is good for the songs that it has on it if you happen to like a lot of the tracks on the US version of JSRF, well you will disappointed by the fact that your favorite song is not listed (Most of mine are here: "Concept of Love [JSRF main title theme) and "Sweet Soul Brother", but "Me Likey the Poom Poom" is absent)
Pick it up if you must have the music, but don't think you're getting all the groove from Jet Set Radio!"
Worth Every Cent!!

"This soundtrack friggin' rocks!! It's got 'the' best mix of music. You even get some weird, but good songs in there too. "Concept of Love" is the BEST song on the album. That's the main reason I bought it... but I was taken back with the other 'new favorites' I found. I was bummd out to find that this album was missing a few tunes though. Apparently, the U.S. release of the Xbox Game came with a few songs 'outside the states' releases didn't get. Three of 'em are just like 10-sec. sound clips but most of the missing songs are some of the better ones from the game. My personal playlist has a full *30* songs from Jet Set Radio Future. Here's a *complete* list of the songs you won't get on this CD, feel free to download them from where ever you see fit: Jet Set Medley Future, Jet Set Station #2, Jet Set Groove #3, Jet Set Groove #4, I'm Not A Model, Aisle 10 (Hello Allison), Birthday Cake, The Scrappy, Statement of Intent, JSRF Music, III Victory Beat, and Me Likey the Poom Poom. Hope this helps in you r search for completing one of the the best soundtracks ever created. ;-D"

"People this album is still good even without the missing tracks. don't get me wrong, i like the scrappy as much as the next guy but this CD is tight. Every time I listen to it, I feel like I'm in the game and Im taken to another world. the best songs are Shape Da future Funky dealer, Sweet Soul Brother, Grace and glory(even though it is played during the darkest part of the game)those are just a few. you ain't heard nothin until you listen to it for yourself. the song Let mom sleep is goofy with the "This is most disturbing" and the high pitched voices. sometimes It even makes me laugh. Hideki naganuma is a musical Genious. This album is simply wonderful BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT. Every moment you waste not buying it, you are missing out. Quit torturing yourself by not owning this album. Im telling you, YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!! Now quit reading these revievs and make use of your time by buying the CD. Its worth Every Penny!!!!"
All I can say is "Wow!"

"I don't have an X-Box, so I don't have the game, but this soundtrack alone makes we want to slap down my $250 on the counter.Very funky techno-pop on this disc. I was especially pleased to hear a remix of "Sweet Soul Brother" (one of my personal faves from the original). "Funky Dealer" by far is my favorite on the album. Yet more emerging evidence that video game music can hold its own in the music world.If you liked the original JGR soundtrack or are just looking to flesh out your techno library, this is a must-have."
What a spadoinkle soundtrack... but...

"Excellent soundtrack. Highly recommended. There stands one problem. The combined price for the Jet Grind Radio and the Jet Set Radio Future soundtracks are $80 +. This is no good. I just recently bought both of them for $20, including shipping and handling. Always listen to your mother, shop for bargains, don't buy when you see. Do the research people!"
