NOIR Original Soundtrack II

The blending of electronic beats and traditional European influenced music is refined into an aural artform here, as composer Yuki Kajiura crosses over traditional sound boundaries to bring together another eclectic and engaging musical odyssey with her second soundtrack to the powerfully dark, provocative thriller NOIR.  Featuring remixed versions of the series' signature themes,  "salva nos" and "canta per me," this 19-track collection also contains the vocal songs, "indio," "maze," "secret game" and "a farewell song."

"Thanks to Yuki Kajiura's superb blend of techno, orchestral, and regional sounds, you will find yourself transported into the world of Mireille and Kirika, as they embark on their "pilgrimage for the past."   -  DVDVisionJapan.com
