FLCL - A Sound Decision

Anime News Network - Sound Decision - The Pillows: "History lesson: when Geneon issued the second FLCL soundtrack about a year ago, there was no third soundtrack and, since the miniseries wrapped up six years ago, certainly no plans for one. But once the sales figures were in, the combined success of the two FLCL discs compelled Geneon to A) drag the Pillows over here for a concert tour and B) make another FLCL soundtrack.

Three CDs for 150 minutes of animation...sound a little crazy to you? Maybe, but before you accuse FLCL of doing its best Evangelion impression, behold: vocals! Believe me, I was skeptical when I saw 'Sad Sad Kiddie - 3:12' and recalled 'Sad Sad Kiddie - 2:03.' But Sawao Yamanaka's 'hang ten' 'tude makes all the difference. From 'Nightmare' to 'Funny Bunny,' these are brand new songs, which is more than we could say for Evangelion remix #82."

And the CD is kiwi green. Looks tasty.
