4 out of 5 stars Not as Good as the Series, but..........2005-01-27

Reccomended mostly for fans of the series. The songs aren't that exceptional in and of themselves, really - but I still give it a 4 because you don't (or at least, I don't) normally buy soundtracks for their own sakes anyway. If you liked the series though, you'll like the soundtrack.

Actually, for just quality of sound, the Cyberia Mix is much nicer.

And also, if you don't want to buy the Duvet single CD, the original and Cyberia versions are both available free on BOA's website.

5 out of 5 stars Addicting!.......2005-01-19

I have to admit the first time I listened to this soundtrack, my first thought was "WTF?!". If you are hoping to buy a CD with 'Duvet' on it, I recommend you buy the Duvet single CD- because this one certainly does not have it. What it does have is an interesting if not strange collection of rock, jazz and techno songs. They range from the supremely depressing (Misty Strange Dimension) to the upbeat and toe-tapping (Like a Lizard). Also, there is only one song on the entire CD that has an actual human voice on it- Track 10 and even that is in Japanese. While I would not suggest you buy this CD without previewing it first, it is definately worth a listen.

    4 out of 5 stars I Expected More But This Will Do .......2006-04-09

    I really don't even like techno or club mixes that much but I have to say that this is a pretty good CD that may get you into this type of music. The sound quality is a few steps above what I expected, you can hear it very clear. It has nice bass and it has a lot of music you could play to keep hyperactive company entertained. I also was expecting a few other tracks that I heard in the Lain series but this will do but you are better off getting the import.

    3 out of 5 stars Been better if complete.......2004-02-25

    This soundtrack contains the fast paced techno beat that is heard on occasion within the Lain Anime. Overall it is good and lots of fun to listen too. The music isn't to harsh even though it retains a very good techno edge to it.

    The biggest problem with this soundtrack is that it is missing two tracks that are found on the Import version, and those two tracks are the whole reason I wanted the CD to begin with, the rest of the music is really just nice to have but not great. For this reason I docked it a star.

    FYI - The two tracks that are missing are Duvet Ciberia Mix and Duvet TV Sized - the latter track is the music that is used in the shows intro.

    3 out of 5 stars For Parties Only.......2004-02-21

    Having never seen an episode of Lain I never knew what to expect from this CD. I got it for free so I'm not so disappointed that the music is nothing but unengaging background sound for parties where conversation is more important than dancing. There are some slightly above average tracks but the majority is just fair fluff.

    For hardcore fans of Lain only (whatever it may be).

    4 out of 5 stars Great songs, but steep price for just two tracks. .......2006-06-23

    For those of you who have seen Serial Experiment: Lain, this CD contains the song from the opening credits to the series (Duvet). It's a fabulous song done by Engish music group Boa (not to be confused with Korean J-Pop artist BoA). Probably one of the best sounding contemporary rock songs I can think of. There is another song on this CD called Deeply, also from Boa. This song has more of a hard edge to it with Jasmine (the lead singer) putting a little more passion into her voice. Of the two songs Duvet is still my favorite, but Deeply is definitely a well done song.

    Now for the bad news. For a full-priced CD all you get are two songs. No remixes. No video files. Just two songs. For most other bands that would be enough to say forget about it. However these songs were included on only two albums: Twilight (released domestically) and Race of a Thousand Camels (released in Japan). These albums are no longer distributed and are very hard to find, which makes Duvet also hard to find.

    So in the end you have to ask yourself how bad do you want that one song from Lain, plus another good song from the band? Personally I wouldn't pay the full list price for just the two songs. Then again I'm one of the lucky ones that has a copy of Twilight. Personally I would pass this one up and look for another Lain soundtrack that has this song in it. The Lain Cyberia Mix import version has the TV cut of the song as well as a remix and several other dancey tracks (be forewarned, the domestic release doesn't have Duvet).

    4 out of 5 stars IT'S A SINGLE !!!!.......2005-11-30

    Please read the item description closely, and you will see this is a CD SINGLE! It's a mini-disk containing only two songs. "Duvet" is beautiful of course, and the other song ("Deeply", I think) is pretty catchy too. However, spending $15 for two songs is beyond what most people can justify.

    5 out of 5 stars Very Good........2005-01-27

    I actually like this quite a bit better than the original sound track for the series.

    While I may be biased (being a fanatic fan of the series) this is one of my favorite CD's out of all that I own.

    Of course, it's not reccomended if you don't like techno. Some of the songs are not for the faint of heart (I am thinking particularly of SPEED and Professed Intention and Real Intention) but other than that it's just what you'd expect from a Lain ST - undeniably trippy, but in a very good way. I might even go so far as to say that this CD does a better job of capturing the essence of the series than does the original sound track. This is something that, as the cover suggests, you might find Lain herself mixing up, were she so inclined.

    The Import version is definitely reccomended over the non, because the Duvet remix is divine. While both the full length Duvet AND the remix are available for free, it is just more convenient to have them on the CD.

    I must say though that you can get the import version for alot cheaper than $41.99, if you look.

    5 out of 5 stars Song of an Angel.......2004-11-10

    This is the best song in the entire show. When I first heard it I almost couldn't stop playing it over and over until someone dragged me away. The song is simply enrapturing and gives you a great feeling inside. The beats used are amazing especially when it hits around the middle; I'm sure fans of the show know what I'm talking about. Definitely a track worth owning, but I'm willing to admit that it's still a bit pricey.

    5 out of 5 stars For the ANIME lovers.......2003-09-03

    If you loved the opening song to the Lain series, get this single. It has that song, what more do you need?
