Alex Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 OK as great as this OST is, I'm really disappointed that the "Next ep preview music" isn't on it!! Or did I miss it (I've only listened to it once through so far)...? Oh, well, roll on the next album..... That ISN'T on there!? That's was one of the things I was going to buy the cd FOR. Always reminds me of Cowbop.
Shun Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 lol.. just heard the Carrot song demo sung by Yoko Kanno herself. the mp3 was ripped from nico i think. she has a very cute voice
Renato Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 That ISN'T on there!? That's was one of the things I was going to buy the cd FOR. Always reminds me of Cowbop. Yeah. Now I know how all those otaku felt back in 1982 when the first SDF Macross album came out. "WTF?? 'My Boyfriend is a Pilot' isn't on it??!! Gah!" What wasn't on the first Macross Plus album that was in the first episode or two, though? That whistling song when Isamu is smashing up the simulator?
Gubaba Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 OK as great as this OST is, I'm really disappointed that the "Next ep preview music" isn't on it!! Or did I miss it (I've only listened to it once through so far)...? Oh, well, roll on the next album..... That annoyed me, too, since I really want to hear that piece in full. But they seem to be trotting out one Frontier release a month, so maybe in September...? Maybe...?
rikiryou Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Hmm, I personally was annoyed that the BGM during Alto's chase scene in ep 2 wasn't on the disc (unless I missed it). Not entirely happy with the OST, but oh well.
Gubaba Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Yeah. Now I know how all those otaku felt back in 1982 when the first SDF Macross album came out. "WTF?? 'My Boyfriend is a Pilot' isn't on it??!! Gah!" What wasn't on the first Macross Plus album that was in the first episode or two, though? That whistling song when Isamu is smashing up the simulator? Well..."Idol Talk" wasn't on it, which annoyed me back in the day.
MisaForever Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Wow, can we bitch anymore about what's NOT on it? How about what IS on it. The glass is half full people. VERY HALF FULL.
Gubaba Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Wow, can we bitch anymore about what's NOT on it? How about what IS on it. The glass is half full people. VERY HALF FULL. True dat...but the "next ep preview" music was one that really revved me up for the CD coming out...and then it's not there. But "Private Army" sounds a lot like it, and I guess the CD is okay enough to tide me over... (And by "okay," I mean, "I don't want to see Heaven unless Yoko Kanno is there with a full orchestra and a bank of synthesizers." )
Bill C. Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Welcome To My Fan Club's Night is definitely growing on me...I fully expect that to pop up during another battle/concert montage later in the show's run.
Drahken Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I have to say, I rather like the FanClub song. Reminds me of something, can't put my finger on it. Some of the song reminds me of a song from the 70's(and no I wasn't born in the 70's) but can't place it either and it's bugging me.
Valkyrie Nut Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I love Zero Hour, I think I'm one of the few who do. I love trance *__* I'm one of the few as well. Loving "What 'bout my star?@Formo" & "Infinity", "Innocent Green" is nice too
wolfx Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) I'm so buying the OST. It has ALL the songs (singles) we heard so far (cept those more minor ones which will com out in OST 2). TALLY HO!!! Edited June 4, 2008 by wolfx
Mr March Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Me too! I'm going to order the OST as soon as I get home today.
MisaForever Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I'll buy it when it's less than $20! Unless I can find it somewhere local in the U.S.
ma2ha3 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 i heard the lossless one, later the mp3. sorry, no such cd on sale in this country, i am going to japan anyway next month. does anyone agree that mp3 are piece of poo. on my sennheiser, lossless is 100 times better than mp3. i delete the mp3 immediately. i would get the cd next month. who can listen to mp3 poo. to the rest of you, buy the CD if you can, dun even bother with the mp3 one.

But my MP3 player won't play FLAC or will it? MP3 is not poo poo
ma2ha3 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 But my MP3 player won't play FLAC or will it? MP3 is not poo poo my sennheiser said NO.
MisaForever Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 my sennheiser said NO. The sennheiser is your MP3 player? I have Sennheiser headphones that are nice.
Tsuchiro Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 The sennheiser is your MP3 player? I have Sennheiser headphones that are nice. Never knew sennheiser made mp3 players...
Heron Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 But my MP3 player won't play FLAC or will it? MP3 is not poo poo Well this is what you can do. You can convert your FLAC over to WAV then import into iTunes and convert to AAC. To convert FLAC to WAV you can download WinAmp and the Flac with library support plug-in for Winamp.
MisaForever Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Well this is what you can do. You can convert your FLAC over to WAV then import into iTunes and convert to AAC. To convert FLAC to WAV you can download WinAmp and the Flac with library support plug-in for Winamp. Gah, that sounds like a lot of trouble. I'll just stick with my NICE SOUNDING MP3's
stray Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Well this is what you can do. You can convert your FLAC over to WAV then import into iTunes and convert to AAC. To convert FLAC to WAV you can download WinAmp and the Flac with library support plug-in for Winamp. With Roxio Toast for Mac, and I'd assume Easy Creator for Windows, you can make a CD audio disc (or disc image) straight from FLAC. Can mount it and import it into iTunes, or burn it. I think I need to give the OST another listen though... I honestly wasn't that impressed so far.
Westlo Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Hmm, I personally was annoyed that the BGM during Alto's chase scene in ep 2 wasn't on the disc (unless I missed it). Not entirely happy with the OST, but oh well. It's on their.. but they like combined 3 bgms (Take Off, Ranka flashback not on OST and The Target) for that part of the show.
Heron Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I think I need to give the OST another listen though... I honestly wasn't that impressed so far. Then you must not have liked the songs in the series?? BTW what is the correct arrangement of the track listing?
mike_s_6 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/ It's on Oricon #2, there's one debut there from Kat-tun that completely deserved the top spot o__O

Gubaba Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 BTW what is the correct arrangement of the track listing? I know, but I'm not telling.
mike_s_6 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Some f%*#in' BOY BAND beat out MacF for the daily top spot??? I know And since it's a popular boy band there was no way the OST was going to sell more. That's not even fair competition to start off with if you ask me
Renato Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I know And since it's a popular boy band there was no way the OST was going to sell more. That's not even fair competition to start off with if you ask me Thanks for the link. Still, a great achievement for an anime OST -- it beat out huge acts like Weezer, The Beat Crusaders and Minmi all on the same launch day. I'm impressed!
mike_s_6 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Here's another link, apparently the news made it to the headlines of Oricon too: http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/confidence/55207/ From the news (and my little knowledge of Japanese, someone help me ) it seems that the highest ranking Kanno ever got in Oricon before Macross F was #44 for CMYoko, and the Macross OST making it at #2 is somehow ground breaking for her career. How pathetic were her sales for the previous OSTs? Or is it just that the other OSTs were not given to her name because they were shared works with other composers?

Just use Creative x-fi crystalizer. Low quality mp3's sounds a lot better, at least i think so. And i don't even own a creative x-fi card, just an audigy-se with "good" drivers. That's if you own a creative sound card... Edited June 5, 2008 by akt_m

I'd say for an anime OST to even make it to the Oricon charts is an achievement already. Being #44 on the oricon doesn't mean your sales are pathetic since oricon doesn't record sales from the usual otaku dens but from major music retail outlets only.

Being #44 on the oricon doesn't mean your sales are pathetic since oricon doesn't record sales from the usual otaku dens but from major music retail outlets only. Actually, I wasn't calling CMYoko (the rank #44 CD) pathetic, in fact I pointed out previously that it had very good online sales, and that was probably the reason the the follow-up CD that had two bonus tracks didn't sell that much. What I was pointing out is the absence of all her other OSTs in the top 100 charts, which is glaring since she's done so many other OSTs before Macross F. EDIT: I think I'm misreading your post though, I agree that it's an achievement for an anime OST to get in, and if the otaku dens really don't count, then that only amplifies the success. Let's just celebrate Edited June 5, 2008 by mike_s_6
