Early Kanno - But still excellent |

Please Save My Earth is an anime that is multi-faceted and beautiful. The soundtrack is the same.
Yoko Kanno was new to the composing world. Previously she had been a concert pianist, so scoring and anime OAV series wasn't on her list of things to do. However, she did and the world of anime has been greater for it.
Since this was her first soundtrack foray, there are some missteps. Many of the songs lack depth and aren't as memorable as many of her later compositions.
In fact, other than the vocal tracks (Prologue - Time Of Gold Flowing, A Song Without A Song, Ring and For The Moon's Prayer And Companions), most of the tracks do what they are supposed to do - act as background music to an anime based on reincarnating Space Races (this is before cylons and BSG). The lone standout instrumental track is Wounded Wings - this track really shows the depth that Kanno has. The track is both heartbreaking in its simplicity but there is depth to it.
In all, this is one of my favorite albums.
