Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Why not remix it?.......2006-01-07

I love Yoko Kanno. I love Cowboy Bebop. 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.

4 out of 5 stars "Rumoured to be a pro-wrestler...".......2005-06-21

Yoko Kanno does it again. 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. 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.

Don't recognize the names of any of these DJ's?

For good reason; their talent is non-existant!

4 out of 5 stars For fans of both the Seat Belts and electronic music.......2004-03-12

The music on this album is equal parts funky Seat Belts and smart electronic splicing. Many of the names are big-- Luke Vibert, Fila Brazillia, DMX Krew-- and they don't disappoint. This album might not be for you if either of the influences turn you off, but for me it was worth plunking down the $40.

All of it is pretty good and worth the occasional listen, but the track I keep coming back to is the DMX Krew mix of "Cats on Mars". I've never heard the original, so I don't know how it compares, but this track has a catchy bassline, percussion that occasionally drifts off into charming randomness, and the whole thing is complemented and offset by high, repeated, (so far) unintelligible vocals.

Of course, I tend to be fascinated with tracks for entirely personal reasons in many cases. Who knows-- maybe you'll love a different one. Recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Nice set of remixes.......2004-01-14

Music for Freelance is a great collection of mixes. Fila Brazilia turns "Forever Broke" from a cowboy blues tune, to a mix more urban-techno baseline. Ian O'Brien's mix "Piano Black" also does the same, turning a high tension track to something with more soul and jazzy beat.

If you are looking for more the "Big Band" sound similar to Kanno's "Tank!." This is not probably not the album for you.
