Escaflowne is one of the most memorable anime I ever watched before. I'm sure most you also feel that the music is superb. But I never thought they are so wonderful until I got my hand on Escflowne soundtracks. Here in Lover's only we got the best tracks and compilation from other album. This album features several songs sung by the Seiyuu, such as the unforgettable Yakusoku wa Iranai.

After listening the entire album, I have added Yoko Kanno as one of the most respected composer after Koichi Sugiyama. Her compositions ultimately powerful, she uses a lot of powerful SATB, flute, brass, and string instruments like in the track 3 "Dance of Death". Other SATB tracks are also found in 10 "Chain" and 11 "Epistle". Epistle has been my most favorite track and I regard it as the most powerful music in this track (I wonder where to find the lyrics?).

No comment, you should grab this album. This CD is super amazing I tell you. If you love escaflowne and orchestrated music, this cd is perfect for you.

5/5

Jam it back in, in the dark.
