Just listened to Plaids sountrack to some anime called Tekkon Kinkreet, never seen it before (anygood?) and I have to say it is much better then their last 2 albums greedy baby and spokes.
never been a huge fan of them, but this is a big improvement over that greedy baby rubbish ;)

:D , cheers - perhaps i shoulda searched for that first ;)
did you actually like greedy baby??? ..... I thought it was pretty bad apart from a couple of moments, and the video's were boring too (the cartoon wrestler was entertaining though), at least with spokes there was a couple of good songs on it...

I still regret having bought Spokes. It's totally redundant compared to their other work. Just more of what they'd already done before (better). Perhaps I should listen to it again, though. I remember only listening to it once....yes it was THAT bad

I thought spokes was really good. I appear to be in the minority with that opinion however.

I think The Launching Of Big Face, and Super Positions are pretty good, but the rest is below average, imo. Haven't seen the DVD yet. Tekkon Kinkreet is ok stuff.

Listening to it again I agree it's not that bad. It's just like reading another version of a book you already know, when you were expecting a new story. Some minor changes here and there, but essentially it's still the same as before.

Yeah, i have to admit i am no afficionado on Plaid or anything. I do really have alot of time for all of the stuff i have heard. Spokes was the first one i really took the time to listen to properly, so, i suppose that is why i really like it.
I can see your point. It isn't much of a stylistic leap forward from double figure.

I really love Spokes myself; it's one of my favorite albums of recent times, and I've also noticed that people who are usually into other kinds of music (mainly classical) are very keen on it, too.
I quite liked Greedy Baby, too. In fact, most of Plaid's stuff is pretty decent.

I had the exact same thing when I first heard Spokes. I'm glad I always allow myself a 2nd and 3th run without making my mind up. I'm glad I did as it is now one of my favorite Plaid releases ever.

I only liked even spring,marry and buns from spokes - 3 tracks out 10 aint that bad i suppose :D........their other albums were much better though, and i will keep listening to them as they do have something- and are capable of doing something special.
i do regret buying greedy baby- found it a waste of time and money.

I really wish someone would make torrent of this on mininova or piratebay. So that I can get a copy of it and so a wider group of people get to listen to it. Everyone seems to be saying good things about it.

wow. this soundtrack is damn good. i'm really so glad i paid the nearly $40 to get it. damn fine album. i had really been missing this stuff, and if they know whats good for them, they'll be playing this on the tour instead of all that Bob Jaroc stuff.

$40 for a Soundtrack in the States ? Could you only find it as an import or....it cant be that much domestically. Its on my list of cds i need to listen/buy when I get some cash.
Yeah the Greedy Baby, with the exception of a few tracks, didnt really do anything for me, but if i saw it like with Bob Jaroc in sure I would be impressed.
p-brane.

i split the shipping w/ a buddy so the total w/ all of it was $36.33.
there is no domestic version...yet (but i haven't heard any plans for there to be either). as far as US stores that carry it, i haven't found any.
maybe i saw them tour too many times w/ Bob, but that show started to bore me after a while. Greedy Baby had like two good tracks, and i'm still not the least bit interested in Spokes.

Spokes is great, and my only Plaid album at the mo, really really need some more. Will invest in some after Draft 2LP.

yeah, the majority of anime is built around intense moments rather than actual storytelling. once you accept that it gets easier to enjoy it at face value.
did you watch the awesome interview?

I just watched Tekkon Kinkreet the other night, and despite the fact that I hate Studio 4°C, and that the ending failed to explain my questions about the story, it was a pretty good film. The beginning is a bit slow, and it took me over half the film to get over the fact that the I hate the way the people are drawn, but the soundtrack is awesome (thanks, Plaid), and the animation of everything but the people is really cool. I probably wouldn't watch it again, but it was fairly entertaining.
