Customer Reviews Why not remix it? I love Cowboy Bebop. I love Yoko Kanno. I love the Seatbelts. The remixed versions of the songs are very listenable, I would carry this CD around to listen to as a pick-me-up. I actually think I have done that before. "Tank!" Luke Vibert Mix is very poppy and jazzy and fun, I love this version so much. I brought this CD to a dance session in an acting class and this is what we danced to. Everyone loved it. "Forever Broke" Fila Brazilia Mix is so beautiful! It's on a mix CD I made of all the Cowboy Bebop songs because it's good for chilling/meditation, dance, study, everything. "Piano Black" was given a little more depth. Overall, it's a very listenable CD. If you're a diehard fan of Cowboy Bebop, you may not like what was done to some of the songs on here. It is an interesting fusion of styles. "Rumoured to be a pro-wrestler..." For this album, Yoko takes all of the classic Bebop songs and collaborates with other excellent artists to create a fresh and hypnotizing new sound. Yoko Kanno does it again. Add to that the "Radio Free Mars" inserts, which are truly comical, and this cd will definitely be enjoyed by all Bebop and Yoko fans, and also by anyone with half a brain and two ears. Obviously, highly recommended. However, the price is a bit exorbitant, so I'd suggest heading down to your local Chinatown and getting a $12 copy. Elevator Music Don't recognize the names of any of these DJ's? For good reason; their talent is non-existant!. .
