Format:Audio CD
If you are looking for a compilation of Hisaishi's works, here is the ultimate one. Themes and songs from all the Kitano films are there. None of the Miyazaki Anime film-themes tho, I think they'll be on "Works", or a Ghibli Compilation.
If you don't know any of Hisaishi's Music, it's beautiful, haunting and tender film music, often fully orchestrated and often strangely melancholic. Slightly reminds me of Ryuichi Sakamotos stuff, only not as eccentric.
I'm not so good with words and descriptions, so it's good that Hisaishi's Work bypasses all that and goes straight into the heart ;-)

The CD captures the music of Takeshi Kitano's and Joe Hisaishi's
movie collaborations. Apart from those of the recent productions (Brother, Hana-Bi, Kids Return), this album includes the very first score Hisaishi wrote for Kitano (A Scene at the Sea). All tracks are enjoyable and I highly recommend this.

When Joe and Takeshi meet, who wins? The listener.
22 Nov 2005
Format:Audio CD
I found this import at a local Hello Cutie, which was selling it for only $12, (!) and I think it's safe to say it was well worth every penny spent.
The CD is, as other reviewers have said, a collection of the work Joe Hisaishi has done for Takeshi "Beat" Kitano's films. This includes the theme for his recent films "Kikujiro" and "Brother." All in all, each track stands strong on it's own, varying between simple melody to smooth jazz. Listening to the whole CD as a whole can be surprisingly hypnotic, and actually pretty meditative. At the risk of sounding like a film fanboy, Joe Hisaishi definately has to be one of the best composers alive today.
Worth the money - though to be honest I would see about getting it cheaper somewhere else.

Excellent Collection of Kitano/Hisaishi's Best
14 Mar 2010
Format:Audio CD
This CD is an absolute must have for Kitano fans. The CD includes the best tracks from each of Kitano's movies from the 90s which they collaborated on. Several of the tracks alone are worth the high price. It's worth every penny.
