Another score
from the Lupin series, which also means another from the
series' staple composer: Yuji Ohno. Unfortunately, this
soundtrack is kind of a miss from Ono. It tends to be
dominated by saxophone work that's generally set to a
slow tempo; consequently, it lacks a energetic big band
type of feel that one would get with a larger ensemble,
while it also doesn't craft many soothing cues either,
and instead paves an awkward middle road that doesn't
work very well as a stand alone experience. To be fair,
there aren't any particularly bad themes here, just a
score that is by the large flaccid in its experience.
The general exception to this, though, is the first theme
off the disc, which is the 1989 version of the always
riveting Lupin Theme. Now this certainly isn't the best
rendering of the theme, I tend to prefer the 1970's version
overall, but it still makes for a pleasant listen, especially
the first minute or so of the four minute cue. The other
track off this disc worth mentioning is the very pleasant
ending song "A Continuation of Love" by Iori
Sakagami. Granted, the guitar work in this song is kind
of a odd mix with the mostly soothing vocal work, but
there isn't much of it and Sakagami's song ends up making
for a good listen if you're in the mood. Overall, this
soundtrack is fairly hard to suggest unless one is a huge
fan of the Lupin series, and even then a number of other
soundtracks in the long running series would be much more
suggested purchases over this one.
