"Good god! How can you not like this collection!?Mara Ijima (Minmay) sings on a multitude of tracks, most of which were featured on the 25-minute TV Special/Music Video FLASHBACK 2012 shown on Japanese TV in late 1983. Each track has been painstakingly transferred from Vinyl and Tape, cleaned up, and then placed on these CD's.As for the Instrumental and Digital music, they are a great kickback to the days of Macross, Super Dimension Calvary Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada. A 90% all in all.This music is performed by the same artists who made the music for Super Dimesnion Century Orguss.Though the price is a bit steep, these songs are very hard to find individually, as most have not been reissued since 1986-89.Any Macross Fan worth his or her salt needs this set.GET IT NOW!!!!!!"

A DREAM FINALLY COME TRUE...

"This complete 3 CD soundtrack/orchestral score to the original Macross story (Hikaru Ichijoe, Lynn Minmay, Misa Hayase) is incredible. If you enjoyed the music from the Macross film "Do You Remember Love", the original japanese Macross series, or music from its sequel (2012), then you'll love this; it's all included. The most stunning surprise for me is that there are instrumental versions of the Minmay songs (with background vocals included) that sound heavenly -- particularly track #25 on disc 2, which is "Do You Remember Love". Other great musical pieces include track #2 on Disc 1, which features the music played as Hikaru and company are scouting space before (and during) the first battle sequence of the film.The background music from the daytime duel between Max and Milia (when Kakizake gets wasted) is incredible (Disc 2), as well as the haunting choral DYRL love theme played when Misa and Hikaru are learning about the protoculture on the remains of Earth --when that city rose from the bottom of the ocean, remember? The music from the battle in Saturn's rings (when Hikaru and Minmay are saved by Roy Fokker before being captured), and the T'sentradi theme (the start of the final battle) are completely awesome to hear as well. Remember folks, there are 3 CDs worth of music on here, and each CD is over 70 minutes long. The whole mythos of Macross, from the music, to the storytelling, to the animation is simply magical. I have wanted the music from this movie since I was in the fifth grade -- so I have been humming this music in my head for 14 years. Now I finally own it. If you love background music from anime or memorable cartoons such as Transformers: The Movie (I own that score too), Voltron, or even Robotech, then you should probably consider this.I must say that out of all the Macross series, I still feel that the Macross Plus installment (Isamu, Guld, & Myung) has the best music (i.e. "Voices"), however the original Macross music is magical too, that is, if you enjoyed it...Thanks for reading!Lt.
