Never regret this purchase

"^_^I originally wanted to buy this CD because of the 2 vocal songs. I don't have this CD in import version, but I got it in domestic version.So anyway, this CD is really good. A lot better than I thought it would be. I watched the OAV series years ago, and I hardly remember the music except for the opening and ending theme. Which what brought me the reasons I bought this CD in the first place. It's very enchanting, and it's so relaxing. I own a lot of other CDs, and this is one of those rare CDs where I play it constanty from time to time. If you like fantasy/classical type music, this CD is for you.By the way, this is the Japanese import that you guys are looking at. Judging from the anime music trends (especially those game music CDs), anime CDs tends to OOP (out of print) after a couple of years and NEVER TO BE FOUND FOR SALE AGAIN. If you complain about the price now, you probably wouldn't like the price when you try to find this CD again (unless you bought the fake SM/Everanime copy)."

Great CD but the price is too high

"This CD is excellent, I have listened to it many times over and love each and every track. Then going back and watching the DVD really let's you hear where each of the songs are in the Anime. However if you are going to buy it do not get it from Amazon I found the same CD NEW at ... and saved at least $... one each of the Record of Lodoss War CDs."

First rate anime soundtrack

"The original Record of Lodoss War series is far and away my favorite anime series. I'm a fan of fantasy fiction, so the sword and sorcery storyline and band of heroes in the Lodoss series captured me right from the start. The series also benefits from one of the finest soundtracks I've ever heard. The grand epic symphonic score suits the storyline perfectly, providing the ideal background music to Parn and company's quest. It also works as wonderful background music when you're reading a fantasy novel or Lodoss manga.



This is the first volume in a 3 CD series, so it's not a complete soundtrack for the series. It includes most of the musical passages featured in the early episodes - the goblin invasion of Parn's village, the heroes' trek through the dwarven halls, the conflict with the dragon, etc. - but not the epic battle music associated with Ashram, Vagnard, and Shooting Star. That music comes on later installments. This CD also includes the opening and closing theme songs - in Japanese of course.



I can't say enough good things about this soundtrack series. As much as I love the Final Fantasy Tactics soundtrack, the Neon Genesis Evangelion music and John Williams' original Star Wars score, the three volumes of the original Record of Lodoss War soundtrack are my absolute favorites. Fans of the anime should definitely check them out, even though they're not that easy to find these days."
