Soundtrack - Samurai Champloo - Departure


Soundtracks are often harder to ear as a standalone album. Unless you connect with the movie or if it's a compilation of themes from other groups (like the case of Grey's Anatomy soundtrack), it's quite hard to ear the album. One example I found that's quite pleasant by itself it's the Samurai Champloo Soundtrack. If you don't know it, it's an Anime series about two samurai and one strange companion, if you’re in to it I strongly advise to watch it.
Keeping myself to the matter in hand, the soundtrack it's calm and with a lot of rhythm, making it a quite enjoyable album, even if you know nothing about the anime.
There are several albums of the series soundtrack, including the original, Masta, Impression and others but my favorite is Departure (the one you can see on the picture). All the albums have a lot of similar elements and it is a purely matter of taste but all and all a album worth listening.
