Cowboy Bebop The Movie (Film Order Listing).Cowboy Bebop Boxed Set (includes live album and mini CD).There are many discs in the Cowboy Bebop discography (including a "Best of" and a remix album, which are not covered here).
However, following the album listings at bottom is a narrative run down of the Cowboy Bebop movie in film sequence (for the TV series, tracks were often retracked a few times, but the movie has only a couple of instances of that). There is no shortage of Cowboy Bebop websites detailing the music used in each episode (see links at bottom, which were very helpful to me in compiling my tables), so this post will instead be organized by albums. The Seatbelts have toured live with a set consisting of the most popular songs used for the series with the original vocalists and eventually released a concert DVD. In any case, the compositions, arrangements and performances are top-notch, and easily hold up outside the narrative sequences they were written for. The music Kanno provided for the series is rarely scored "to picture", instead it functions more as a jazz/rock background element to provide "atmosphere" (as is usually the case whenever jazz or rock is used as the primary style in a score). Most of the ensemble cues were performed by the Seatbelts, but some tracks were created with adhoc groups in NYC, Paris and other cities. This stylistically eclectic approach naturally extended to the show's musical palette as well.įor both the score and the plentiful source music ("in scene") cues, Yoko Kanno (the composer/arranger of this and many other popular Japanese anime programs) created a jazz-rock combo named "The Seatbelts", based in Tokyo. In fact, several episodes focus entirely on a specific genre, such as spaghetti western, Hong Kong gangster drama, blaxploitation, space horror, etc. Despite the future setting, the drama itself is based on post-modern retro-noir styles, due to the fact that the colonies are far from "futuristic". The song featured in the opening credits of Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door.One of the most celebrated Japanese animated series of all time is Cowboy Bebop, which is based on the adventures of a quartet of bounty hunters in 2071, when Earth has been largely abandoned and several planets and moons of the Solar System have been colonized through terra-forming. Another release was made for the Cowboy Bebop Boxed Set. It was sung by Raj Ramayya, and is featured on the mini-album of the same name. Ask DNA is a song composed by Yoko Kanno and performed by the Seatbelts for Cowboy Bebop.
