"Figured I'd better set the score straight on the track listing, as the one on the review page makes you think it is nothing but the same songs from the other two albums.



Disc 1:

1.) Aka to Kuro

2.) Prelude

3.) Canta Per Me (Japanese Version)

4.) Lullaby (Japanese Version)

5.) Em More

6.) Himitsu Secret

7.) Salva Nos (Dialogue Remix)

8.) Love

9.) Gensou Rakuen



Disc 2

1.) Guest B

2.) Melody (Salva Nos Version)

3.) Jealousy

4.) At Dawn

5.) Black Society

6.) Family Affection

7.) Church

8.) At Ease



'Blanc dans Noir' features several alternate versions of familiar songs from the series as well as several notable unique tracks, including 'Aka to Kuro' (red to black) that is very fast-paced with a good beat and somewhat different vocal feel than most of the other songs on the Noir albums. 'Himitsu Secret' is another great track, with the vocalist for Chloe slowly singing in lullaby fashion, until the music swells and the background singer begins singing in a fashion similar to a typical Yuki Kajiura track, then Chole overlays her vocals once more in a singsong melody that sounds eerie yet divine.



All in all, I highly recommend this OST to anyone interested in either Noir, or Yuki Kajiyura in general."

Fun, Electric Soundtrack

"Simply if you like Jpop, Techno, or even Jazz this is for you; this isn't just for anime fans.



Thanks to Yuki Kajiura's superb blend of techno, orchestral, and regional sounds, you will find yourself transported into the world of great composer ability, such as herself. She also offers her pretty vocals."
