Negative Positive
Title: Not very melodic
Review: Mostly sparse, textural, and repetitive in the sense that some of the tracks sound like the same track in varying states of completion. It's just BARELY ambient, actually, creating unmarked atmosphere - not really contributing to any particular kind of feeling.For me, the three most outstanding tracks were:1. M01 I - Making of Cyborg (the creepy, minimalist Japanese chant that opens the movie- still melodic)4. M04 Virtual Crime (My favorite - I even heard Garth Trinidad spin it on Chocolate City one night [KCRW L.A.])11. See You Everyday (A hypermelodic, upbeat Chinese pop song sung in Chinese by Fang Ka Wing)I would not recommend paying full price for this. Consider that I bought it at a Japanese bookstore downtown in 1998 for f1ft5en b*cks. Having ripped Virtual Crime to mp3 and buried this CD long ago, I only looked it up again for See You Everyday because to this day, the melody has stayed with me.
Is the review positive or negative?
